Disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (22 January 2013)

I am rating this film 1/10 to try to lower the kind of insane 8.8 rating.
I picked up this movie expecting something that would bend my mind. A good sci-fi story open to interpretation and contemplation on the fabric of dreams and reality and how you are to distinguish one from the other. A sense of wonder. I'm gonna keep this short and say that Inception did not give me that sense of wonder. Inception is an average Hollywood action sci-fi with nicely rendered CGI and famous actors who neither amaze nor disappoint. If this is what you are looking for in a movie, inception might be right up your alley. If not, I can suggest a couple of good films that are specifically about dreams. Go watch "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and the anime "Paprika".
My definitive score for inception is a 5/10. It's just average in every aspect, and will probably not leave any sort of mark on film history for being either particularly good or bad, from an objective point of view. From a more personal point of view though, I thought this movie sucked big time.
Have a nice day!
