Nothing remotely ethereal or spiritual ever finds its way into his work. There’s a reason, though: Nolan is a die-hard materialist. Underlying nearly every film he’s ever made, no matter how fanciful, is his conviction that the universe can be explained entirely by physical processes. Any suggestion that our lives are shaped by forces we can’t understand makes him break out in hives. […] Batman is likely the only superhero of any interest for him, precisely because Batman has no superpowers.

I’ve personally enjoyed most of the Nolan movies I’ve seen, such as: Interstellar, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, The Prestige, Memento. Great movies.
And I even though the similarities between Interstellar and Inception [1] [2] [3] might imply a repetition of formula and lack innovation, I thought it’s genius. Yes. I like Nolan.
