It is a valid questions for lots of Christopher Nolan's movies. There are some of them you watch for the 4th and 5th time to get the details you couldn't notice during earlier watching. And that's how you appreciate many of his movies more and more.
This movie however departs from typical Nolan's fabulous plots and brilliant ideas in favor of convoluted action you can't keep up and with characters you can't relate to. The characters shoot out their sentences so quick no one in real world does that because it takes a second to a) understand someone's sharp talk, b) come out with some brilliant response on par with the other person. Add that to the phenomenon of time going backwards in parallel to time going forward in the movie's reality and you're likely getting lost in the first 15 minutes of the plot.
On the positive side, thanks to Christopher Nolan for not serving us sound version of "death by Hans Zimmer" (remember "death by Enya" postcards? you got the right idea - think "Inferno" for instance).
Overall go and see the movie for yourself. Your opinion may be different than mine, it's all a matter of taste (non disputationem de gustum). Enjoy if you can!
As much as I love watching Nolan's movies, this one is going to remain in the "great idea, poor execution" area, despite its pretentious grandiosity. It was created only because Nolan could afford the budget. No one else could convince any studio to produce it. For me it's a waste of money - we could have a very decent, way more watchable Neill Blomkamp flick! (missing District 10? me too!)
