12 Years Later, Christopher Nolan’s Best Movie Is Still the Greatest Adventure in Sci-Fi

What is Christopher Nolan's best movie? The answer might vary among cinephiles, thanks to Nolan's filmography, which spans a wide variety of genres. Some would point to Memento, as its non-linear structure makes for a compelling mystery. Others would throw The Dark Knight trilogy into the ring, as it helped put Nolan on the map and showcased that superheroes can be taken seriously when in the right hands. The best answer is a movie that Nolan made 12 years ago, a science fiction odyssey that still holds up today. It also contains two key elements that helped cement Nolan as a top-tier filmmaker.
