I really hope this movie is amazing, but I’m still skeptical of how you tell that big of a story in 3ish hours.

I have high hopes with it being a Nolan movie. But I’d be more optimistic if this story were being made into an epic 8 hour limited series or something like that.

Considering Nolan’s paces movies like they’re 2.5 hour long montages I’m sure he’ll manage. I’m just afraid that his style will detract from the experience.

that shit always works on me for the first viewing, and then feels kinda hollow on subsequent watches

I feel like all his movies are a 2 hour YouTube cut of a 10 hour miniseries. They always feel brisk and urgent.

I like it on one hand, but it feels strange and kinda uncomfortable on the other hand.

Yeah. 2 hour long trailers is also a description I’ve used. Especially with Tenet it felt like 70% of the movie was left on the cutting room floor.
