For THE FIRST TIME EVER, I'm going to take your advice, Quan. The premise seems lame imo. Especially considering that the Netflix show DARK just BFTO of the time travel genre, not mention, as shown by Interstellar and even arguably by Inception, Nolan has a bad habit for coming up with spectacular concepts and giving them lame minimalist executions.

Saw it past weekend. Pretty good but not on Inceptions level. I'd rate it 4/5. Time travel aspects was confusing

Best film I seen this year

Yes, and like Interstellar, the sound mix often overwhelms the dialogue so there are important passages I didn't get. I think if I watch it again, it will be at home with the sound off and the subtitles on - that would be interesting.

And Kenneth Branagh's villain was a pretty cliched stereotype.

Theaters got the go ahead to open up with restrictions here, hoping they're running before this leaves, want to see this on the big screen

God damn it. That sound disparity really took away from Interstellar. Why does he keep doing this.

Apparently the sound mix is created for a very select number of screens with the most up to date systems and most cinemas have shitty old systems that don't process his films well.

Was that the same issue with Interstellar?

Cos I saw that in a theater that had good sound, the theater Skywalker Sound did over. Edit: Though it would be an old sound system, just very high quality from back in the day.

I believe so. Although he had a terrible reason for Instellar. He harped on in 1 interview that he wanted the voices to be just another sound effect in Interstellar and that he didn't have to just use dialogue for exposition. He could use music and other sounds to advance the plot.

Load ae shite

Every theatre chain has digital cinema or they couldn't show movies at all. So every one of them has up to date digital sound systems (after decades of displaying THX/Dolby digital at the beginning of movies, they finally stopped some years ago because we get it.) That some theatres have older and inferior sound systems is a weak excuse.

Movie was confusing but relatively enjoyable. Incompetent sound mixing that made it nearly impossible to hear some important dialogue at times. Not one of Nolan’s best. Lots of lazy info dumps. Lacked the emotional core of his better movies like Inception and Interstellar. Didn’t really give much of a shit about any of the characters.

It's only confusing but big dummy dummos like you.

Sorry your post lost me.

Ask Madeleine McCann to explain it to you.

So true.

The only reason it was really confusing is because there was important dialogue I couldn’t understand because of the bad sound mixing.

Also I think he did a bad job of making the info dumps engaging to the viewer. I found myself drifting sometimes because there were just too many of them.

I agree on the dialogue being too whispery and difficult to follow. I may give this another chance with subtitles sometime.

But anyway, I think I respect this movie more than I like it. Some trippy sequences for sure.

(I hated Interstellar and I thought Inception was overrated at the time.)
