A masterpiece? On the contrary!

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2010)

What a disappointment! This movie is a technically good heist movie wrapped in a dream plot, that is boring like hell! The dreams look almost exactly like the reality and during the whole movie constantly somebody is shooting, running or escaping!
Christoper Nolan outdoes himself in taking almost all the inspiring and challenging aspects away from an interesting idea! He strings together one exhausting action sequence after another without any creativity or a fresh, new approach regarding the exploration of dreams!
The further you delve into the dream levels, the more you get bored by more spiritless action. At the end i thought: oh, perhaps i missed the point and this is the next James Bond movie and they deliberately left away the 007 in the the title to open up a further, contrived dimension. Very tricky!
Inception looks like an intelligent, complex movie - that is what it wants to be - but it is only an action flick without little character development or intellectual aspiration.
Christopher Nolan perhaps knows to impress technically but he fails completely to let me really care about his protagonists and the storyline. Technical perfection, the use of visual and special effects and an allegedly complex story can't substitute the lack of real vision, creativity and good character development! That's the difference between Inception and a masterpiece.
