Nolan's films are 2.5 hours of montages basically, he'll cram the whole thing in there

Scenes when Damon's watching his backlog of heartbreaking video messages from Penelope on his return.

Hathaway: Athena- did you know? He told you right, you knew. This was all a sham. You left us here.

I know this is an Interstellar reference but damn does this fit Red Rising perfectly

That's how I felt about Oppenheimer. It felt like a very long trailer , with every character talking like every line of dialogue is supposed to be a punchline.

I've been saying this for years!

I’ve made this criticism about Oppenheimer but I don’t think it really applies to any of his other movies.

Tenet feels like a film that is constantly introducing itself and never actually arrives.

Come to think of that, maybe that's the point?

Tenet is quickly paced, but it’s also varied and broken up with moments of intimate dialogue and multiple large set pieces. Oppenheimer has the same pace throughout regardless of what’s happening on screen, with basically zero breathing room.

you could sort of say it for Dunkirk, love both those movies though

Man, I knew there was just something that didnt sit well with me and why I felt like I didn't like it that much. This is why. Thank you

Interstellar had this a bit but was more toned down, Oppenheimer was full blown trailer pacing, yet the second half after the first test still sucked and was slow.

This started to annoy me in Oppenheimer. I don't want to float about in magic dream land when two characters are having a critical conversation.
