in-sap-tion



I have full knowledge of the age of this issue, and consider this more of a rant rather than a review. Ironically this subject has popped up so much recently and i felt compelled to write this, but I'm sure most people will hate me for this, assuming i might care about their general existences...
I'm sure the vast majority of the movie-goers saw Inception, and me fearing to be thrown out of the pack obviously was dragged kicking and screaming to see it.


Ironically i was intrigued by its concept, i mean to invade someone's dream, is a dream of it's own. The movie failed to impress and failed to disappoint at the same time, it was a dichotomy of feelings, i didn't know whether to hate it or to be impartial to it (bearing in mind for me to love something it has to be epic) what really annoyed me was the fact that you could not say you did not get it!!! This was the major flaw in the movie, losing the audience in sparkly graphics, wasting important time to develop the concept explaining how the process works, instead they were flipping a city upside down!
Then there is the complexity of it, you barely get the idea of the dream control issue then you are flung into five dreams within each other where some dreams are aware of each other and some people are other people and everything, and then your brain can barely process the trip of it all and to end it all you're thrown into limbo with a figment of imagination that is 800 years old that makes the hero loose his mind. And if this is not enough, it commits the cardinal sin of all movies: LEAVES ON A BLOODY CLIFFHANGER...
I mean sincerely it's not a series where i can watch the next episode in a week, and then you go out of the movie not daring to say the movie was utter crap because you're afraid to be deemed "dumb" for not getting "IT" but no one got what IT was.
Inception was the workings of an amazing classic to live in time forever instead it lost all it's hope for Hollywood tinsel and glamor, instead of actually making it a high-brow brainy movie, they knoked in a couple of explosions and made it: Idiot-safe... Sadly!
