Not bad, but definitely not original

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2012)

I'm really tired of American movies ripping off foreign films, specifically animes. The Matrix did it with Ghost in the Shell. Now Inception does it with Paprika.
I went into this having already seen Paprika, which I thought had a MUCH better story. Because of this I just couldn't see how "complex" and "amazing" it was.
The story is about a thief who can travel through dreams. Inception is the idea of changing someones decisions based on infiltrating their dreams and affecting their subconscious. The acting is not bad, a bit predictable though in the Hollywood sense...
Overall, it was a decently executed rip-off, but nothing spectacular. It's a shame that the original Paprika never got even half the attention of this subpar version.
