Recycled garbage but cool effects

Rating: 1/10 (18 August 2010)

Let me start by saying that this movie would have been good had I not seen Shutter Island or read "I am the Cheese". Inception is nothing more then Shutter Island meets the Matrix. The motive and the plot are the same in both Shutter Island and Inception. SPOILER DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE.
Both of DiCaprio's characters in these films both blame them selves for the death of their wives, they spend the movie creating a world where they do not have to live with the guilt of their loss. I know you are reading this and thinking "But a lot of movies have wives as the root of the characters problems" and your right so let me go further. In both movies DiCaprio also has issues with his children, in one they are dead and in the other he is unable to see them.
Now if that isn't enough here is the mini cherry on top of the regular cherry on top of the Sunday of recycled garbage that is this film. In both movies he blames a single selfish action of his own doing for the reason of his wife's death. This is why he creates these worlds to live in to hide the truth from him self.
On a positive note the effects of this movie were awesome. Some of the best I have seen in a long time I enjoy seeing Hollywood try something new rather then overload their films with CGI. Other than that I have nothing positive to say about this film.
I end this by saying watch either Shutter Island or Inception, either film on their own was OK but when you watch one after the other all you can do is think "Man why is Leo playing the same roll again, he has depth he is much better then this". Also Nolan go out and find a good script and stop piggy backing off of other films.
