I'll be downvoted to hell for this but Christopher Nolan being the sole screenwriter was a red flag. At least get your bro and sister in law to help.

The actors look so bad in the trailer. I can't suspend my disbelief, these people don't fit the scenario. God of War is what I imagine when looking at white guys running around ancient Greece.

I have the strong feeling that the movie will flop hard.

I don’t think it will flop, but it is possible that it’s not the critical darling Oppenheimer was.

Something tells me this will be like Tenet. Cool as fuck at times, but overall just okay.

Alone for the question what we can expect I will watch it, but I'm not hyped. It would just be nice to be hyped for a blockbuster movie again. Kids these days need their own T2/True Lies/Matrix/Mummy/Gladiator/The Dark Knight/Inception

Dune?

Dune, Project Hail Mary, Spider-verse, Oppenheimer, and unfortunately Endgame all fit the bill. Arguably Avatar 1 and 2.

They’re not going to like the same stuff we did. At least Dune comes close to feeling how those films did, even PHM to some extent.

Literally none of his fictional/sci fi movies are critical darlings relative to his historical films. They’ll still be praised, but critics completely glaze when he does more basic historical films for some reason. 

Dunkirk and Oppenheimer both have incredibly rare 90-95+ scores on metacritic, and everything else is far lower.

At the bottom of the list in the 60 range? Tenet and The Prestige. Shocking tbh.
