Poor imitation of Inception idea

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 2011)

This movie started out with a good idea, but there were way too many holes in the plot, too many things wrong with the basic premise. The idea of going back in someone else's memory is a cool idea, but this movie did not pull it off at all.
Living 8 minutes of someone else's memory is a cool concept, BUT this means that you can ONLY experience what THAT PERSON experienced. I would be okay if they expanded the scope out a bit, but that person did NOT get off the train, did NOT see a license plate, and did NOT explore the second level of the train. moronic writers didn't think that part out thoroughly enough.
If the source code had included EVERYONE's memory then it would have been a bit more believable. Even if they tried to explain how the source code worked a bit more, I wouldn't be so upset, but they moved from '8 minutes of one person's memory' to 'alternate universe' concepts...what kind of jackass would write a piece of crap like that, let alone like watching it? very very very poor movie.
The other thing that really irritated me was the whole happy ending, oh he gets to live in an alternate reality ending....bullshit. just let him die and rest in peace already, the whole happy ending crap just totally blew. i'd prefer to pay my money for a real 'happy ending' ;) If you've seen Inception, then you'll know that the writers are trying to pull off something similar to dream within a dream, but it just doesn't work.
I'm a big fan of sci-fi, and movies that make you think, and movies that totally mess with your head, but this one is just lame. don't waste your time on this. i'd rather get a root canal than watch this piece of crap.
so surprised that so many people rated this movie so high, but then again, there are a lot of dumb people out there.
the bottom line - what a piece of crap. watch Inception again instead.
