Not Nolans best effort.

Rating: 6/10 (27 August 2011)

This movie has been praised by many people and it's very motivated to ask why? Good science fiction puts you in a state of mind that makes you think "there's a chance that this actually can happen." That's not the case with this film, and that's why it fails. Even the Terminator movies are more believable than this flick, i mean time travels has been discussed for a very long time and advanced robots exists today, even if there aren't any Terminators to be seen...yet.
Christopher Nolan has made several great movies, i would say all of his movies are great in some aspects. Inception is a very creative effort to say the least. But I seriously wonder if he wasn't stoned when he wrote the script? The good guys are sedated, then connected and then they get inside someones head - a person who is also connected to the same neurological network that connects the good guys. Inside the mind of that person they try to steal ideas or as in this case implant them. Already here Chris should have given it a second thought, but it gets worse...
The good guys carry weapons just in case the person they're trying to steal from or make an implant in, have a defense. Because if he or she has, the defense guys will shoot at you. Paus...well armed guys defending ideas inside someones head? What? The good thing is that if you get hit you won't die, unless you are to deep down...to heavily sedated that is. Oh...but before you can get inside someones head an architect must draw the landscape in which the dream sequence will take place. What??? The film is of course enjoyable, it definitely has its merits. But it's NOT the masterpiece some thousand or so morons have claimed in this forum, it's not even close.
Batman Begins and The Prestige are his best efforts so far with Memento very close.
