This film is one of Nolan's best, possibly beaten only by Dark Knight. It takes reasonable resources to fully grasp this film and follow what's happening. It even gives the braindead plenty of action to sate their thirst for explosions and chaos. But when you combine the two, action and intelligence, then you have one outstanding film. This film manages to accomplish both marvelously.
This is one of a very select few movies that I will own once it hits the home market.
