Doesn't matter how much you shout, piss, moan or bitch. Popcorn movies don't have at their critical moment a hugely elevated symbolic event that depicts the space between generations as the father trying desperately to communicate with his daughter at all stages of her life while stuck behind a library of books representing the knowledge of mankind. This isn't an average movie so perhaps the real problem is that you're of popcorn mentality regardless of what is feeding your eyes, ears or soul.

Matt Damon.
Do you think "scientific type," when you see him?
Highly intelligent guy?
Believable as a world-class scientist?
No.
What you think is a guy who's trying to get a "serious" acting career back on track after many disappointments, but who sold out to the Bourne brand and finally found success. Further, you think that in his mad scramble to find legitimacy, he overreached.
With that decision, the Nolans doomed any pretensions to seriousness.
A good popcorn entertainment, no doubt. Like a middle-of-the-road sci-fi book, it can entertain and make you leave your own world for a few hours. Serious film? Not any more than the Batman or Inception. Memento, however, does have greatness. It's not about budgets and BOOM!
It's about thought--- intelligent thought---, good scripting, good acting.
So in other words you brought in your biases of a supporting actor who had a relatively short role in the movie, and allowed that to ruin the whole film for you? Pretty weak, tin.
