I still think it's lazy story telling on Nolan's part IMO

I think it's a shame that films have to last for a set amount of time,

If it takes 4 - 4.5 hours to make the film into the great film it should have been then so be it!

Ok maybe beer is just more expensive or maybe they had a stash, but still. And where in the future is this movie? Judging by all the pickup trucks and cars it looks like "today", but these are minor.
See I disagree, Christopher Nolan is an outstanding talent. Instead of praising a mediocre film I think fans should be critical if it's warranted and in the case of this film I feel it is.

I'll watch it again like I have done with all his other films, this one isn't a 10/10 and I expect that from Nolan hence the disappointment.

See I disagree, the outstanding films cannot be picked apart easily because they are of the highest quality. Perhaps I am being too harsh but it's only because I expected better from Nolan

A film has failed to impress me if I'm finding plot holes or thinking about how a scene could have been better.

Fair point
