Not a too spectacular action movie

Rating: 6/10 (2 February 2014)

When the movie came out it was obviously over-hyped, everyone was going crazy over this 'awesome' and 'super deep' movie about dreams within dreams. I was not very enthusiastic about the film before seeing it, and I wasn't after seeing it. It is a typical Hollywood movie, it has action, love, stuff... Nothing different, and it was disappointing for me because I was actually expecting some interesting dream-realm experience, but there was none.. Every dream was just like a regular action movie, nothing dreamlike - floating in air is not enough! Nor is going deeper dream by dream, if you don't actually feel like the characters are in a dream. And this is the main reason I was disappointed, it has no dreamesqueness, it didn't overwhelm me! So, I think, it is presented falsely as a movie that is spectacular in its 'deepness' and 'dream ambiance'. Aftewards I got to see 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' which was obviously much more like what I would look for in a movie about dreams.
Obviously, this is my perspective on the movie, if you are looking for a film that has your regular action+(lost)love combo, then this is your flick. Don't expect any dream world experience.
