Inception


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/
Take some of the ingridience from the matrix trilogy and some parts from Oceans 11,12 & 13 and you got a big, sometimes, confusing big massive.. over rated movie.

Sure some gonna stop reading this review after that.
I checked the rating on imdb and it was a massive 9.0. My question was a mix of confusion and chock; Had we seen the same movie?
The director screenwriter is Christoper Nolan, the same man who fooled everyone with the overhyped The dark knight. Why that is so overrated and considered a dark epic movie? Well since the poster shows a skyscrape in flames with the Batman logo in it… or, is it the simple fact that your unconsious tells you that it recembles the horrific picture from the Twin tower buildings on 9/11?

So, what is Inception about?
It is a science fiction tale about a burgler named Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his close friend Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). They aren´t your regular burglers who likes to break into houses or banks and steal money or jewelry, These steal ideas.. From the mind of people. And I just felt like I was robbed of my intillect.

The sound that echoes thrughout the entire trailer (more or less) and in the more science fiction action scenes are somehow reminding me of how the tripods from War of the worlds sounded like.
In all honesty there was nothing from the trailer or the fact that Ellen Page was in this, she playes Ariadne, who made me wanna see this. The only reason was that Ken Watanabe as Saito was in this and he is the only actor who does a good job.

So, Ariadne who study under Miles (Sir Michael Caine) gets the job as a architect, she will create a world within a dream. The dream is gonna be planted by Cobb inside the mind of Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy) so Saito can get in total control of.. something.

Ariadne starts to bend houses and streets but our hero; Cobb, sees the danger and the tripod music is played (ooooooooh scary). And then our team are thrown into a washing machine, but it is in a hotel corridore, but inside a dream, emh, that is a fantasy… of Robert Fischer..that Cobb has created, and Ariadne also..

I might not have been in the mood watching this, so I watched it again, same feeling, it is a rip off from the semi intelectual/quasi intelectual movie about philosophy and life (read; The Matrix). Inception doesn´t go that far, it mixes in some action scenes every now and then but mostly Leonardo looks tired and a bit chubby.

It is told that this movie is a groundbreaking movie, the only ground it breaks is that once again people have been fooled to believe that a big block buster movie with sometimes nice camera setting is a masterpiece.
Ask the producers to give you your money back, or else you are indeed a part of this movie; your mind has been robbed!
