Lifeless. Wants too be too smart for its own good

Rating: 4/10 (13 February 2011)

Can't believe the high reviews as I think it's the worst Nolan productions to date. Means: it's a good/average movie, but not great.
The whole movie is just too stylistic, the romance is cold and uninteresting, the characters are one dimensional, and the whole dream thing is just too stylistic. The movie wants to be too intelligent for its own good. I preferred how dreams where presented in "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind": blurry, not cohesive stories and unpredictable.
Inception used dreamworlds as a cheap way of adding car chases, shoot outs in snow. The whole dream-in-dream thing is nice but doesn't add anything to the story.
The romance thingie is just annoying to watch. I just don't care. But I should.
Meh.
