Yet to see the movie but the classic Nolan example of this is Interstellar when they open the cryocapsule on the mysterious ice planet and everyone’s first thought is WHAT IS MATT DAMON DOING THERE
EMILY WILSON7. I liked Nolan's low-budget early films - have seen Memento 3 times - but I think the money is a trap. It's easier to suspend disbelief if the actors are less famous. The huge budget leads him to attempt grand jam-packed epics, when he's better at taut, very premise-y small films.
