Totally Pretentious

Rating: 1/10 (17 July 2010)

This film thinks it's important. However, the movie says nothing about anything. All the dream stuff is made up by the writer. Nothing is based on real science. There is no explanation of anything other than just to state that things are. For example, there is no explanation on how this whole inception devise was created or how it works. Other examples are the proclamation in the movie that when you die in a dream, you wake up (oh really) Then there is the idea that if you die within a dream that's within a dream you go into "limbo." Whaaaaaaaaat! Everything that's required to put forth the story happens too conveniently. People and events happen at the right time just when they are supposed to happen.
This is what happens when a movie is written, produced, and directed by the same person. The producer/writer/director doesn't have to worry about anyone telling him their are problems with the script. No checks and balances. The movie becomes very self-indulgent.
The music was often so loud that the dialogue was muffled and the convoluted storyline was hard to follow.
