I haven't seen a film of his I really enjoyed since The Prestige. Exactly how I feel. Prestige was great. Everything else, meh. Also whats his obsession with Michael Caine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most notable of which is.. I'm still not 100% sold but it looks better than I expected. The suit definitely benefits from, ahem, cinematic lighting.

bielesibub Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 This is no doubt mega old news and something that has passed me by, but thought I'd mention that I noticed last night that Amazon Prime have some 4K films available, the kids have just started watching Jurassic Park (1993), we've only seen it a bazillion times already, the picture looks good (55" old 4k Panasonic), sound (5.1) is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2020 I think Nolan is more hit than miss. But no director is perfect. Ive absolutely loved some of his films. Some are a bit meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2020 I just watched “The Lighthouse” Not really sure it’s a film that’s meant to be enjoyed. It’s **** weird and uncomfortable and I have many many questions that I assume are unanswerable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was bored for a significant part in the middle and it’s one of those annoyingly deliberately ambiguous films that just leaves you with hundreds of questions. that’s good to an extent. I don’t want everything wrapped up with a bow on and spoon fed to me. But I just feel a bit unsatisfied with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably never get around to watching it, but Stevo985's synopsis describes essentially what usually makes for a great production! 2 hours ago, Stevo985 said: I just watched “The Lighthouse” Not really sure it’s a film that’s meant to be enjoyed.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say I dislike Inception, but it certainly seemed to cement the stance of his more loyal supporters (“oh you don’t like it? It’s probably because you didn’t understand it.”). Can’t think of too many directors who have such a staunch fan base. I agree that Memento is currently still his best film, with the caveat that I have yet to see Tenet or Dunkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I enjoyed Inception, but then for a module on my masters a couple of years later I had to study it from critical theorists points of view. Saw it far too often. I largely like Nolan though even if the plot is weak it rarely fails to be an immersive cinematic experience. Dunkirk was stomach churningly tense and I wish I had seen Interstellar on a big screen. Has his OTT fanboys like many other directors I guess, possibly Batman fan related, who knows. The third of.those films was pants but the others were all fun. Sounds like he may have gone up his ass with Tenet in terms of trying to be too complicated etc but I still look forward to watching it Edited August 29, 2020 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 The Old Guard was full of promise but all in all a little dull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I have no problem admitting I'm a Nolan fanboy. I'm yet to see a film by him I don't like although I haven't seen Tenet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any criticism was also that you just dont get it Dont think he posts here anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
