A Modern Matrix

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2016)

Special effects were made for this film. This movie is purely creative and this cast is the f**king tag team of the century. So what's with score? Well, I'm in the belief that this film is highly overrated. First of all, its not nearly as complicated as Chris wants people to believe it is. This movie feels WAY too pretentious. Something I've always loved about Donnie Darko is how much it doesn't care if people "get it" or not and it's just as enjoyable no matter how much you understand the film. But, people just say they loved Inception because they didn't get it and don't want to feel stupid. Second, did anybody actually give a s**t about the characters? It makes me sad because if Inception wasn't so obsessed with trying to appeal to everyone; Cobb's amazing backstory could've been handled a lot better. Which leads to my other problem, Christopher really shouldn't have worried about trying to makes this move as accessible as possible. A film like this would work better as a cult film that attracts a certain demographic.
7.5/10 -- Good. Despite all I said, this IS a good movie. It just doesn't deserve #14 (will probably change) on the IMDb Top 250. If you are interested definitely give it a shot but don't let others overhype it for you and if you like movies that make you think, there are plenty of other intelligent films that are as smart as they advertise themselves to be. This is honestly just an action movie in disguise.
