My Inception review
Intro: am I the only one who thinks that people are giving the Matrix too much credit for this movie? What about Paprika? Oops!
Inception: This movie is centered on a man name Dom Cobb who uses a device that can help him steal ideas from someone's dreams. One day someone offers to help him get out of his dilemma by planting an idea in someone's head, to do this he needs to recruit a team. Of course, something goes wrong, so the team has to execute the plan before things get worse.
I wasn't that impressed with this movie; I don't think the movie is bad however the creators could have done more with this movie. I could have co-written this movie because I had experience with dreams that this movie addresses like not remembering the beginning of a dream, being aware that you're dreaming and when you die in a dream you wake up. I like the mechanic of the dream world, what characters can do in a dream and the movie has a little bit of humor. The movie also does a good job of building suspense kind of. The way this movie ends will either make you happy or angry.
Dom Cobb is a professional thief who wants to clear his name of wrongdoings. My beef with him is that he plays a role in why the plan didn't work out. Also, we don't know what his life was like before this point.
Arthur is Cobb's partner who plans out the jobs.
Eames is a forger he can look like anyone in a dream, plus he's the comic relief.
Ariadne is used to see this world through the audience's eyes, she's also the architect of the dream world. She also helps Dom with his issues.
One of the many problems I have with this movie is that Dom shouldn't have been picked to do this job. I mean the person who hired him tested him to see if he can do this job and he failed so why did he still pick him? Also, the movie explains how the dream world works what's the point of that if characters don't have good memories? It's hard to root for the team to succeed because what they're doing is wrong. This movie would benefit from less sophistication and more creativity, the dream world shouldn't be realistic. It bugs me that this movie doesn't explore every aspect of dreams, what's the point of having a movie about dreams if you're not going to do that? The movie can also be boring because it kind of has slow pacing.
Overall, despite how good this movie it's a waste of potential. I can't say this is the best movie that deals with dreams because I haven't seen all of them. I would recommend this if you like heist movies.
Rating = Worth Seeing
