Please stop calling this complicated

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 2011)

It's a light version of EXistenZ that doesn't try to do anything interesting with the concept, instead opting for a whiny film noir-type plot.
Most of what I have to say has been said in the negative reviews already so I'll try and keep it shorter...

GIRL: I don't believe you did it Mr Leo!
LEO: Sorry girl, I'm so film noir even I think I did it.

The dream "psychology" was horribly outdated. Here are some tips:
REM SLEEP ISN'T DREAM SLEEP: Dream psychologists don't like to listen to their patients. That REM sleep is called dream sleep comes from a study that 50% recalled dreams when woken from REM sleep whilst just 30% after REM sleep. The participants who didn't dream were accused of forgetting them. However another study showed that 80% of people DO recall dreams if woken BEFORE REM sleep.
YOU NEVER KNOW YOU'RE DREAMING: Cheers Leo, but I always did as a kid, and I'm marking down any movie that bases its science on things my <8yr old self would have known better than.
DROPPING SOMEONE WILL WAKE THEM UP: Okay, I've suddenly felt like I'm falling and gone from nearly asleep to wide awake, yes, WHEN I WASN'T FALLING. Conversely, I've fallen out of bed without waking up. See the problem here?
There's more, like how faces and indeed species are not fixed in dream situations (my A-level Psychology was a while back but there are terms for people changing whilst being the same person, like once in a dream I had to fight to save my friend from a bear after his trip to where I was had accidentally transformed him into a hamster; still him, but small and fuzzy).
So in the first 5-10 minutes I could tell what type of film this would be. It was very upsetting since I was in the cinema and didn't want to walk out. Instead I was stuck staring at Leo's demise to non-acting, ergh... But wait! There was one part where, despite myself, I STARTED TO ENJOY THE MOVIE!
Girl (she doesn't need a name) is playing with the dream world and it's magnificent and exciting. It's beautiful, it's imaginative, it's amazing (and unsurprisingly used in all the trailers).
LEO: NOW NEVER DO THAT AGAIN.
And she doesn't. Even they were already outed and some imaginative reorganisation of surroundings could have helped saved their dream- lives.
Pointed out already on IMDb; dream world and you need protection? Think big, call in the dragons and gigantic cosmic tentacle beasts. What do they opt for? A rocket launcher. Huh...
So why was the wife's image VIOLENT rather than, say, seductive? Why didn't Girl DO more? Why is the dream-entering nonsense not being used to solve Leo? And speaking of Leo, I'm glad he's moved on from just :) but what happened to Shutter Island's range of expressions? He was just >:/ for the WHOLE of Inception.
Film noir + Poor attempt at exploration of the concept of consciousness = An award-winning film though, so what do I know.
