Nolan gets lost/off in the baroque intricacies of his "mind-bending" plot at the expense of pretty much everything else. The talents of the many excellent actors thrown together to create this pretentious, money-sucking crap are simply wasted. Don't expect any fire from these pieces of wood.

Nolan asks the viewer to turn his brain on just enough to try to follow the idea (you have to suffer through an unbearable amount of exposition), but then hopes that enough action, effects and oppressive soundtrack will stun that same brain into not questioning the ridiculous character motives, sloppy plot contrivances, and breaking and bending of his movie's own rules. If you feel like you haven't heretofore been sufficiently crushed by suspension of disbelief and reason, then this is your movie.

As an aside, the movie felt like a converted book or graphic novel and it's likely this non-existent original medium would have allowed for a more credible attempt at floating this turd.
