Overblown nonsense

Rating: 4/10 (17 July 2010)

Really disappointing with a predictable ending.
Far too long - lacked intelligence and little real depth.
Derivative of 80's movie Dreamscape and later The Matrix among others.
Too much ego Nolan - nice technical effects but nothing new.
A poor script however the acting was good. They managed to keep a straight face throughout.
As a connoisseur of sci fi movies in general it really didn't hit the mark, probably because it wanted to be a mainstream film.
Could have done with at least 30 minutes cutting, the final third was actually boring and the endless action sequences just became a blur.
Don't believe the hype - this is yet another summer 'blockbuster' that fails to hit the mark, although obviously better than Prince of Persia, Airbender and the really garbage stuff.
