Just a shame that a project that cries out for a lavish, theme-driven orchestral score will have a wall of Tinnitus-inducing Zimmer/Goransson noise (that drowns out 50% of the dialogue).

Music in the Nolan-verse will always be a bummer but I am pretty stoked for him heading back to sci-fi/fantasy genre fare here. I even liked the Armand Assante version from the end of the TV mini-series heyday and this should be tremendous if it pans out.

The only downside outside the score to the project thus far...

I don't hate Zendaya, but she's incapable of playing any other character than the snarky "too cool for the room" chick in everything. I mean, better her being cast in everything than Awkwafina, but still...make her go away.

I guess we won't be competing for anyone's attention at the next Hollywood party we attend. I think they're both gorgeous.
I find Awkwafina particularly fetching...

I have zero problems with the physical attractiveness of both actresses, but they DO have a very limited bag of tricks as performers. Every time I see Awkwafina in a movie (or hear her voice in a cartoon), I know exactly what to expect, every damn time. The Farewell was the only time I've actually seen her vanish into a role.

That trailer was pretty underwhelming.
This meanwhile brings new meaning to "get in line now"....

People are already scalping opening-day tickets for $250...

And the movie will be available on VOD a few weeks after opening (no matter how much Nolan will complain about it.)
