a tad too confusing?

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2010)

As a huge Matrix fan I felt Inception was stealing a few pages out of the Matrix script - the other times I felt either confused trying to follow the storyline. Mind you there were some really good special effects, the premise is decent (albeit predictable at times) but in general I think I expected a bit more from this flick. I mean the theory of illusion vs reality via sleep is pretty cool but the way they were presented lacked: some were a bit too far fetched and some simply hard to believe. It would have also helped if some concepts were explained more clearly and especially how the sleep machine really works. I feel there were too many holes left un-explained. Perhaps my I need to see it again to really appreciate it, but perhaps it simply needed more polishing out to be a masterpiece.
