Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe production team purchased and then crashed a real 747 airplane into a hangar. The stunt was all practical effects, with no visual effects or CGI. Director Sir Christopher Nolan had originally planned to use miniatures and set-piece builds. However, while scouting for locations in Victorville, California, the team discovered a massive array of old planes, and it became apparent that it would actually be more efficient to buy a real plane of the real size and to perform the sequence for real on camera.
- GoofsWhen the Protagonist is fighting the masked man (himself) the first time just before he threatens to shoot him, the masked man's wrists are exposed for a short time and they can be seen to be white.
- Quotes
Neil: What the hell happened here?
The Protagonist: Hasn't happened yet.
- Crazy creditsThe Warner Bros and Syncopy logos are respectively shaded red and blue, the colors used in the film to represent normal/inverted time.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was originally seen for advice. The distributor was advised it was likely to be classified 15 uncut but that their preferred 12A classification could be obtained by making small changes to one scene to remove shots of a man kicking a woman. When the film was submitted for formal classification, the shots in question had been removed and the film was classified 12A.

Featured review
Nolan wants to feel smart, huh?
Like many others I felt kind of dumb after watching this movie. And I suspect that is the whole point. Nolan wants to feel smart by writing an incomrehensible story that only he understands. The directing is great in general, although I did get a bit annoyed after a while by the constant jumping between places (if that is part of the directing i dunno whatever). And the name dropping and little tidbits of sciency factoids is kind of silly as well. It could've been much more enjoyable as a simple action movie with a shorter runtime and if one haven't had to pay attention to every second.
I realize I might have been too generous with my rating after writing this, lol
