...but I'm a sucker for time travel and they did a very good job here without much in the way of unexplainable paradoxes.

Very well done - good characters, good acting and good script.

What more can you ask for?

I'd give it a solid B.

Well, no. It was doing OK in this department until the end.

The end turned it into the same old time travel paradox.

The final act of violence made the whole movie, from the entrance of Old Dude, disappear from reality.

Thus, the sequence of events leading to the final act of violence never happened and this final act of violence never happens.

But in this case, Old Dude shows up again and again the final act of violence occurs.

It is insoluble and is the classic time travel paradox. I was a bit disappointed since they kept it pretty reasonable up to this...but any logic goes up in smoke with the ending.

I did quite enjoy the movie, illogical though it became.
I think Nolan is incredibly talented. The cast? Not so much. Still tempted to see it NT - Jazz Inmate 18:20:29 10/01/12 (0)
