Seriously average

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2010)

I was writing a review, but accidentally refreshed the page! So just my twopence worth to add a score.
I won't trash it to be anti the ridiculous 10 star ratings, but give it what I would genuinely give it as a film. Though the only reason I am bothering is because of the insanely puffed up reviews. The only idea I can give for that is that it may have been exciting for younger viewers as it managed to get itself a 12a rating.
The cast were great to watch and the action was impressive. But it all hung on such emptiness as to make the whole film just show. What dull dreams the people had. All temporally sound and with exact structures. Who dreams like that?
And the Freudian segregated layers - oh no, don't go down into the basement in his mind.
Everything carefully explained along the way to justify the plotting, like children making up the rules of a game as they go along.
Could have been clever, but wasn't. But it was showy enough to make some believe they had seen something clever. I think when the excitement dies down this one won't be remembered as the classic people want it to be.
