Preposterous

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2010)

I don't know. Maybe I'm too old for modern movies. I got roped into this one by my son (I paid, of course). Long story short - he loved it, I didn't.
This picture was breathtaking in its special effects and in its director/writers imagination, but I couldn't buy it for a minute. There was no way possible I could, as they say, suspend my disbelief, no sir. I was born at night but not last night. I looked around the theater from time to time and watched as all the young people sat enthralled by the spectacle before them, and I wished I was 14 again. But then, I wasn't ever that naive and jello-for-brains, even as a teenager.
But it was a spectacle. I loved the nearly non-stop action and hair-raising chases and near calamities throughout the picture. And I appreciate the way Leonardo DeCaprio improves with each film. He is sincere and a hard worker. I just felt foolish for getting in over (or should I say under) my head with the younger set.
