I saw it once, I thought it was good. Is it worth the revisit? I saw Tenent twice and it was great.

I genuinely think you might be the only person on Earth who's seen Tenet twice and Inception once.

And yes, it's abolsutely worth the revisit.

I don't think I quite got it when it came out. Good movie, yes, but I literally didn't have any desire to see it again. Unlike some of CN's other movies, like Batman Begins or The Dark Knight.

I watched Inception again a couple years ago and damn, everything clicked. Great movie. Loved the score so much I added it to my library.

Man, I would really have to think about it, but I am pretty sure I only saw Inception once (but seen parts of it in TV a couple different times and watched YouTube clips as well) and I saw Tenet in theaters at least 4 times. But definitely need to rewatch it start to finish again.

I'm not going to say I got it the first time, but I was blown away seeing in the theater. Wife and I saw it in Southlake the night before we left for a trip to Cancun... kept going back to it in my head over and over on that vacation.

I liked the concept, although the fact that everyone but Leo and Mr and Mrs. Page had been or would be in a Batman movie made it a little weird.

There were a couple of really big action pieces, especially the Ski chase thing that just felt like a James Bond movie.

I remember when Primer was considered a confusing movie.

I understood Inception much better than Primer.

Actually know the guys that made Primer (when they were kids).

Primer lost me.

DUNKIRK is the best Nolan movie.

You spelled The Prestige wrong.

I have (or at least had) the DVD. There was some area of it that always flipped out and you'd have to skip over it and rewind back. I'm convinced that 30 seconds probably explained the entire premise.

Edit: I should watch Inception again. I know that when we watched it was late at night and many beverages were consumed.

A fantastic flick. Great go to summer movie night.

In my top 3 of Nolan's. Saw it three times in the theater.

Saw TDK 7 times in the theater.

Prestige
Inception

Before Inception, this was Nolan's body of work...

- 2000: Memento
- 2002: Insomnia
- 2005: Batman Begins
- 2006: The Prestige
- 2008: The Dark Knight

We already knew he had something special, and then TDK obviously sent him into the stratosphere. But for me, seeing Inception for the first time, with a big group of friends, opening weekend, on a Saturday afternoon in IMAX, roughly 2/3 of the way through was when I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Nolan was an all-timer, and that from then on out he would be someone who's movies I anticipated more than maybe anyone else's. Specifically, it was at the moment the van with Cobb & co was falling off the bridge in super slow motion, and the mechanics of the various dream layers were on full display, that I was having my mind blown in a way I hadn't experienced since The Matrix. I remember sitting next to a friend, who was Michael Mann's former assistant - someone who had certainly seen some **** - and we both quietly gasped "Whoa"/"Holy ****" at the exact same time.

Afterwards, we all went and had dinner at Pitfire Pizza and couldn't stop talking about the movie, still not 100% sure what was what, trying to sort it all out, and just riding that high for hours. Then I think I went back and saw it alone either the next day or a couple days later, and was blown away all over again, once everything really clicked into place.

Personally, I'd say TDK and Inception were the best in-theater Nolan experiences, hands down. I may have come to love other movies of his more, but nothing will top seeing those two, in IMAX, opening weekend, and just how staggering they felt when they finally cut to black at the end and the credits came up.
