Inception. Great action set pieces. Good film. But Oh Alas, for a *little* more imagination!

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2010)

If someone tried to Incept my subconscious - boy are they in for a surprise! Who the hell has faceless pistol toting gun-fodder henchmen for mental defenses anyway? You know what those evil corporate bastards out to grab my secrets see when they step into their "structured dream world" which my subconscious has populated??
Golden Dragons with napalm breath and Nazgul riders. Armored polar bears the size of double decker-ed Hummers. Sorcerers yelling "avada kedavra" at anything blonde and male. Jasons and Kruegers (yes, Krueger will be in MY dream and I will control that funky demon, muhahahaha). Wee Leprechauns doing the Moonwalk. And unicorns spewing rainbow goo all over the wannabe Inceptors, while they scream in strangely squeaky voices, arms raised to heaven (which, of course, has turned in upon itself). And oh - millions and millions of gut munching zombies flying between skyscrapers, defying gravity, just for effect.
Then Ill play "Never Gonna Let you Go", full blast.
And LO!, just when Cobb and his dandy tuxedoed men think "Oh we are SOOO rick rolled, HOT DAMN!", I would appear, like a semi-drunk, all knowing, starry caped, fop-smiled mage and turn all their guns to beautiful yellow posies, and send them home to sleep (sweet dreams within dreams, babies) with their wives (magically transformed to Kim Kardashian). Cuz underneath, in my deepest of deepest mind, I'm a wonderfully kind and silly man.
Christopher Nolan, Sir, This is what a D.R.E.A.M. looks like. Idiot.
