I was just clearing out some e-mails, and I came across my "review" for Inception. I put "review" in quotes, because it's more of a thought than actual review. I wasn't thrilled with it. It was cool, but something was lacking. I have absolutely no interest in ever seeing it again. It was too much/too fast and tried way too hard to "blow my mind" without really doing much.
I will say, however, that Cillian Murphy is the bomb (Wait, does anyone even say that anymore?), and I can't wait to see what he does next.
Anyhoo, my thoughts on Inception:

It was too confusing. Probably because I was folding a big basket of socks during most of the movie, and if I looked away I’d miss something important. There were too many levels to keep track. And showing the end at the beginning—I still don’t “get it.” I didn’t really care about the characters. I didn’t care about the why and I didn’t really feel anything for the guy they were messing with. And they kept Leo’s story so hidden, by the time we figured out what had happened, it wasn’t that shocking.
I’d say it was a good movie, but definitely not one I’d watch again.
I'll give this movie 10 points on the Cillian-Murphy-was-in-this-movie-so-I-had-to-watch-it scale.
And also 5 points on the At-least-Leo-looks-his-age-unlike-Michael-J.-Fox scale.
Other than the fact that I've never heard of Cilian Murphy, I agree with your review. I'm not sure if I "got" it or not, but I don't care if I did. I would maybe buy the DVD if I found it for $.50 at a garage sale, but I doubt I'd watch it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you weren't really into it either. After I watched it I really couldn't figure out why so many people were raving about it.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to interpret this movie that Cobb remains in limbo as a choice because he knows that it is the only way he can reconcile his one desire of being reunited with his kids. There is a promise that his record will be expunged by doing this one last job, but since the top never stops spinning, I have to think that he is still in limbo. I’m looking forward to watching “Inception” on HBO this Saturday at 8 PM when it airs. I’ll be out of town for a convention, but I can catch it on my iPhone because of my free DISH Network Sling adapter that I got with a rebate. http://goo.gl/Qsggz It’s sweet because I don’t’ miss my shows and if I set a DVR recording I can still watch it later anywhere I am.
