HERE'S WHY IT'S OVERBLOWN:

Matt Damon.
Do you think "scientific type," when you see him?
Highly intelligent guy?
Believable as a world-class scientist?
No.
What you think is a guy who's trying to get a "serious" acting career back on track after many disappointments, but who sold out to the Bourne brand and finally found success. Further, you think that in his mad scramble to find legitimacy, he overreached.
With that decision, the Nolans doomed any pretensions to seriousness.
A good popcorn entertainment, no doubt. Like a middle-of-the-road sci-fi book, it can entertain and make you leave your own world for a few hours. Serious film? Not any more than the Batman or Inception. Memento, however, does have greatness. It's not about budgets and BOOM!
It's about thought--- intelligent thought---, good scripting, good acting.
