mind blowing technically.....but lacks sparks

Rating: 5/10 (17 June 2014)

I had read many reviews, citing this movie to be one of the best movie ever made, and as it was a nolan's work and starring dicaprio, I was very enthusiastic about this movie, i thought I was in for a ride.this movie was about dreams, so a perfect combination to be a masterpiece.
This movie revolves around cobb(dicaprio), who is a skilled thief, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state. but this job had cost him everything he had ever loved. he is given a chance to get his old life back by saito(watanabe), in exchange of a job to be considered impossible. cobb takes it, assemble a team consisting of Arthur(levitt), Aridne(page), Eames(hardy), Yusuf(rao).but despite being a impossible task, nobody knows that their life is at risk because of a factor related to cobb's wife mal(cottilard).then the whole movie is about how they complete the job.
the plot is fresh and exciting. the performances are brilliant. the movie is visually appealing, and demands active participation from viewers, which is good thing. the motive is good, but execution fails. the movie has brain , no heart.there is nothing to take back home after watching this movie except the complexity. also in the mid, you will know what the else is all about. this movie does not provide enough thrills, to consider it as a thriller. I am writing this review after such a time, because of such a hype this movie has got, which is not fair. we all know Nolan can do much better than this. I have seen all his movies, and he is certainly one of the best director alive. but he has to learn more from other such as Scorsese, movies are not all about technicality, there should be an emotion. movie should be able to teach something, and if the execution is able to does that, then the movie becomes a masterpiece, and an exception. Nolan has shown previously that he is capable of doing this in insomnia,the prestige, and batman trilogy.despite from all this, the movies has its moments.it fall shorts to become a masterpiece, and it hurts us.nolan has also continued his trademarks, leaving the ending to be interpreted by the viewer,....whether the cobb has return to the real world, or he is in the dreams at the end(cobb spins the top...but the top is not shown to stop and fall).
