Saw this movie yesterday
An really good one, I like how it's played backwards, a lot of twists.
I recomend it, really really good movie

i thought it was good before it got blown out of proportion. it was in indie theaters and then when it hit video stores people began to hear of it and basically ruined it for me. i mean its good but not THAT good. i think this film caused him (nolan) to create that not nearly as good bigger studio movie insomnia. if memento hadnt gotten famous i bet his film would have been better. just a thought.

it was a really clever movie, i was often amazed by how well everything was thought out.
But behind it's cleverness lies nothing more than a pretty standard thriller... i loved the movie whilst watching it, but i felt dissapointed afterwards... if that makes any sense

the "style over substance" debate.
its a thriller, beautifully told.
thrillers hardly have much substance, is what I'm trying to say. nothing wrong with that.

okay... good point. I guess i watched it with the wrong expectations. If i would have gone in there expecting to see a thriller, i would have been pleased.
But the movie was so hyped, i guess i was expecting a little more. If it would have been a deep & meaningful story, told just as beautifully... it could have been a masterpiece!

a great movie! We studied it in psychology class.
one question that you should ask yourself: he can't remember anything AFTER the 'incident', so therefore how does he know that he has this condition and that he must write everything down?
we looked at it quite a lot :-/ maybe too much!
a good film, none the less

well thing is, it does have more substance..
its all about memory. how memory works, how it shapes us, how our personalities fall apart without memories.

yeah, i agree with you there qrter. The film shows us how important our memory is to us, and how we - in some ways - are different from animals.

at the start of the film, you see the end, without knowing what has lead/caused this. You dont even know that the film is going in reverse, it's only when we see the end of the film that we can piece together all that has happened, as if we were rebuilding our memory - i think that that is really well though out and well put together, with each parts of the story dove-tailing.
All the way through i kept thinking of 'groundhog day' though, lol. oh well. It's 1:15 in the morning here, and I've got school tomorrow (today!). Night night
