If you have seen many Nolan films I feel you already expect a certain style of product walking into this film. I think it fulfills expectations there.

Great production values. Great actors making the most of what they have to play with. Great visuals and cgi. Tense atmospheric score and sound effects.

Sadly it doesn't really come together as a whole package. My opinion is there has been a steady downward trend in Nolan films since Inception (with the exception of The Dark Knight which was only elevated by Heath Ledger's epic performance). This film fits right in that trend.

IMO, many directors given the elements here would be able to craft a better film. Can't give it more than half marks.
