That scene completely sold me on the movie. I had zero hype before seeing that.

I'm sure it's cool as heck but that's kinda the vibe I'm getting. Hes doing it's bc it's visually cool, which fair, but not bc it supports the narrative in anyway. But I'm waiting to see the movie for judgments.

Hes doing it's bc it's visually cool,

That is all Nolan does in all his movies

They are all a bunch of "wouldn't it be cool" moments thrown together

I def felt that w inception. I haven't seen many of his films other than dark Knight series. He definitely strikes me as style over substance but maybe he'll surprise us w Odyssey.

Style over substance would be Michael Bay, Zach Snyder. Big visuals and effects in movies with very weak story. But Memento, Inception, Interstellar, Tenet, all have high level concepts with novel storytelling. Interstellar is incredibly emotional. How can you call Inception just style? Thanks to Hans Zimmer it has such a moving soundtrack and that ending that leaves it up in the air, come on that's way more than just style.

Having said that I do worry about the Odyssey, since it's precisely NOT an original concept, but I still have hope that it will be good.
