Age Old Metaphysical Question Wrapped In Cynical Package

Rating: 3/10 (19 December 2010)

I found Inception to consist mostly of drawn out, overblown idiotic chases and shootouts. Mostly boring and some hilariously so.
I found the floating, gravity defying scenes downright silly. Especially funny was when the 'Arthur' character stacked and tied up the rest of the sleeping crew in the hotel and floated them around.
This film was a good 30-45 minutes too long in that respect. Way too much time spend on chases
This whole idea of 'is this a dream or reality' thing is as old as the hills, even though I do in fact subscribe to many variants of the idea as part of my own philosophy. It doesn't, or shouldn't come off as some really 'deep thought' of a movie to most people. Unless, the genius lies in whether or not the poor film goer can follow the action or not.
I just happen to think the movie was a cheap cgi infested shoot em up wrapped in a cynically presented metaphysical wrapper.
Personally I enjoyed "The Nines" much much better in terms of this whole 'what is reality' movie theme.
