Aaron's Thoughts

The sound and design were breathtaking, but Nolan’s commitment to story over characters and the bloated narrative keep the film from being great. Murphy and Blunt shine, but every character is so paper thin that it diminishes the impact of what the performances could have been. But hey, it looks pretty and has a great ending!
