A bit overrated

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2010)

If you like shutter island, this is the movie for you. It is way better! Myself, I am not a fan of shutter island. So, I did not like this movie as much as others in this case. It was pretty good, but not awesome.
There was a good concept to the story; but the approach to perform the concepts to us audiences was not so brilliant. Some people love movies that leave mysteries in the beginning and slowly let the mysteries unruffled as the movie progress. Inception attempt to do so, but fails to. It left me confused instead of being curious of what next; some of my friends almost fell asleep. Some people might think I am saying so because "I am too stupid to understand". I was left confused through the first 1/3 of the movie, having random scenes and facts thrown at me. At the very end I thought.. they could have used that 45minutes to develop something better.
Inception makes people feel smart for understanding and some people liked the movie because of that. Well.. what would be the point of a big picture if the general public can not understand? Its supposed to be understood.....
The twist at the end wowed everyone.. the way Nolan performed it was brilliant. oh oh.. and Mal really freaks me out! Especially when Cobb and Ariadne was in the elevator.. good job :)
With many layers of reality involved, the concept/story itself was brilliant, but not exactly the movie itself. Other than that, everything was awesome. The cast, director,costume, graphics, sounds ...
