    Just cos you can do it, doesn't mean you should. Amazing tech specs can't save a dialogue heavy script.

    Look I like Nolan's films usually but this had the energy of a student film trying too hard to get into Revelation. Prometheus quote? Colour change to symbolise other character perspectives? Every pretentious student film I've watched in my time has random black and white scenes or mythology quotes. Sometimes both.

    Introduces too many white dudes in suits without telling us…

    Why are people mad about this film, I thought it was cool.

    Also Paul Bettany and Emilia Clarke.
