Like dangling a shiny toy in front of a cat.

Rating: 3/10 (7 October 2011)

Like we had the Coen's love in, we now have the Nolan love in.
This movie is in the TOP 11 movies of all time according to the masses.
To be fair, I loved Nolan's 'Memento' and 'The Prestige'. I settled down to watch this in great anticipation. IMDb had it at NO.1 at the time. Better than Shawshank? Godfather? This must be something else!
I can only sum this movie up in sentence.
They make it up as they go along. Really. The way the 'plot' needs to be continually explained by characters is a give away. This guy's dream affects this guy but the surroundings are made by this dude this totem will work here and....come on guys. This is ridiculous. Yes, it's Sci-Fi but good vs evil on another world is more believable than this.
Utterly disappointed with this movie.
Get a grip fanboys. This is a movie about some dudes dreams.
You can easily (as I did) tear this 'plot' to pieces in minutes.
He wants to go and see his kids. He can't leave the country.
Are we agreed that that's the plot?
Couldn't the kids have flown out to him?
Now who's the one who doesn't get it?
If you've got ADHD or similar you may like it. My cat likes it when you dangle a shiny toy in front of him. He liked Inception.
