Under the Skin is freaking sweet though, but I liked Morgan better than Logan honestly, and Annihilation I thought was kind of stupid but I do love Natalie Portman but it still sucked.

Snowpiercer will not win this thing, but it is a damn sweet movie and is easily top 5 in this 10 year span no question about it. sure, if you watch 5 movies total . sort of kidding, but to me a lot of good scifi has to leave something to the imagination. snowpiercer, like idiocracy, is a how-to-manual when it was supposed to be a warning.

I definitely get the hate for Inception, but I still don't think it's overrated. Maybe overrated for the wrong reasons, but underrated at the same time. I'm sure you're not one of them, but half the people who say it's overrated don't even understand what happened. They were literally incepted in a movie called inception that's about inception. Nolan literally explained what he was doing to audiences with the description of inception in the movie. Plant the idea in someone's subconscious to get a desired effect. To have an entire theater sitting there at the end thinking that whether or not the top was about to stop spinning mattered when it did not matter was some 3D Chess level plotting. The dialogue is crap, the movie is boring, it has very low rewatchability, but what it did was impressive and helps alleviate all its issues.

There's a lot of the film that is rooted or parallels the ideas of Kishōtenketsu which really stinks for the way that Nolan structures his visuals and sci-fi-"ish" ideas. it could have been better, and to be clear, there is no ambiguity about the ending, which is why it actually fails as Kishōtenketsu. The most interesting thing about it actually is why he didn't use the "Time" music as more of a leitmotif instead of a traditional score. It (could) functions so well for so many sensory/emotion enhancing moments in the film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
