“Neil was the best part of this movie, that was it”

Neil was the best part of this movie, that was it. Everything else was a bit too rushed to make sense. I don't think the problem of the movie was the science, because with Nolan I think he can say whatever and I still won't believe him. The problem is the emotions they are so desperate for the the audience to feel. The only reason why I can think of for me to hate Sator enough that he must die was that he hits his wife and in this weird ass jealousy complexity and this murderous backstory or front story. Other than that, this is the villian that kinda make sense in his own way to end the world. I don't see anyone that can challenge his philosophy enough. Honestly his downfall makes more sense in Harry Potter.

Other than that I can't bring myself to buy the connection between Kat and the Protagonist, I don't know maybe they did Morse Code to connect but up till now I don't get it much. I think the problem is that we didn't have any breaks, Inception had breaks, or even Oppenheimer had breaks, but this shit does not have breaks, everything is put in front of our face every milisecond and we do not have any spare time to process anything. Third time watching, even when I have enough time to understand the science, I still don't understand the emotions. What the hell man.

Aside from that the cine techniques were elite, music was chef kiss, time machine was too respawn machine vibe, Russian accents were great, Neil was great, Kat was really pretty. In short, Nolan said "Don't try to understand it, feel it" but bro I understood it I do not feel it bro go fix it.
