over-hyped.

Rating: 5/10 (27 July 2010)

This movie was just OK. Fun to watch, and nothing more. Dreams and dreams within a dream were subjects to many fine movies throughout history of cinematography, and this one is, by no means, the best amongst them. Not even one of the better. Can't really understand such overjoyed reviews, as though world is going to change after watching this movie. Most of 10 star ratings are probably given by the people from WB -- some kind of a viral promotion, I guess. The main problem of the movie is that Nolan the writer wanted to say a lot and had opened a lot of questions, but Nolan the director couldn't quite cope with that. Some of those questions were to big and pretentious for him at this stage of his career. He is a fine craftsman, but still nothing more. The end of the movie is to trivial and easy, almost expected. Shutter Island is much better example of "making me insane" effect. Even Cronenberg's eXistenZ has better ending.
