The most overrated movie in the IMDb at the moment

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 2011)

The film is everything, that Hollywood almost always does wrong; It is technically brilliant, but that's all there really is. There is a huge rush to every new "turn" on the plot, which in reality is repetition of the first "turn" all the way through. This film has one little idea stretched to 2½ hours. There is nothing surprising during the whole movie. Within the first ½ hour, you'll just know exactly what will be. Very, very boring.
The characters are just paper images that do not have a single feeling showing from their faces through the whole movie that you could relate to which would be necessary to make it all even a little bit credible. The acting is very shallow, acting is marionette like; it just serves the goal of a very mediocre director. This is a action movie and not even a decent one. The excuse for constant gunfire and violence is one of the most miserable i've ever seen. In a dream everything is like a action movie all the time!?
The custodial path the director takes to explain everything to the audience is just ridiculous. And the rules the director so carefully explains doesn't even concern himself! It seems to me that this movie has been tailored exactly for the target audience of 10-15 years old teenagers who do not care about any foundation. Just for the sake of the limping plot he decides when to follow the rules and when not! Example so that the fans don't have to bother them selves to think; The wake up method; when the van falls, director just decides, they do not wake up (althoug it is earlier made very clear, that this (feeling of falling) is a rock solid method to wake up the dreamers), because he (director/writer) isn't ready yet, so we'll just wait for the van to hit the water, oh my... This just is one of the most embarrassing moments in the movies ever, it destroys the whole idea once and for all.
For technical merits, including the apparent complexity of the film, which only consists of couple of parallel dream layers, otherwise it totally useless to search any complexity or layers from the film, they are purely superficial and then the special effects and staging(which are nothing new by the way) i'll give this 3/10, other than that there is really nothing to see or feel about this disaster of a film. Compare to Matrix, which also trips up with it's own cleverness a bit but still manages to transmit the feeling and idea, even a bit philosophical one, to the audience. Something the "Inception" never managed to deliver.
