Exciting action scenes > Plot development and philosophy

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2018)

The idea was great. It makes you think, and the concept of inception is very refreshing. The film made you reflect deeply upon LIFE and question the very fabrics of reality and time.
Well, not really.
They sort of forwent that in favor of action. You know what I mean.
Military-style fortresses with an abundance of patrol guards that somehow miss the protagonists from a couple meters away. Lots of cutting it close with plans that would fail if they were delayed by a couple more seconds. Blood. Bombs. Guns. Plot holes.
I admittedly did enjoy the action, but I still feel a little cheated by how the producers evidently thought it was more important than the interesting premise. Still, they did expand upon the idea enough that it was a major part of the entire plot and certainly was quite a fascinating film anyways. I just think at least some of the action was a tad unnecessary.
