COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Solid film submitted by beeniepie on August 11, 2013, 3:00pm Although this involves magic and science (Bowie plays Tesla), this is more of a mystery and drama. This was an unconventional character piece for Nolan, and he did a solid job. It's not one of his greatest films, but it's still pretty good.

Great movie submitted by SolaireFQ on August 27, 2016, 1:33pm This movie is twist through time and keeps you guessing to the very end. It is worth rewatching to pick up on the pieces you will have missed during the first viewing.

Great submitted by anacoluthon on August 1, 2018, 7:48pm A very engrossing movie. My friends and I ended up discussing it for hours after we saw it at the theater.

Is it magic or just a trick? submitted by mandevil on March 19, 2021, 1:28am You decide
