I was hoping for a good show out of this one. It seemed like my kind of movie from what I'd heard--sci-fi, Christopher Nolan directing, massive sound, big visuals, cerebral story.
I was disappointed. It wasn't horrible, but not great. The sound was LOUD, but loud does NOT equal good. I don't know what it was like in the theater, but on BD the sound was muddy. Big bass, but bass was boomy. Dialogue muddy. Heck, when the lead scientist father was on his death bed, I could only understand half of what he was muttering. Story just didn't do it for me. Got rather cosmic, like Nolan was trying to make his own "2001: A Space Odyssey", but I don't think it worked.
Christopher Nolan could have done so much better. After the Dark Knight reboot trilogy and Inception, I think this was a step backwards. With story rewrites and sound corrections, this one could have been almost a five star. but I'm giving it :3: out of :5: Ok for a rental, but I'm glad I tried it out first, as I certainly won't be buying.
