FILM Review: Inception

Saturday: My wife said, "Come on...you're taking me to see a movie!" No room for arguement there. We looked at the film trailers and watched "Inception" which was five-star rated.

If you watch the trailer, it is typical in that it sucks you in to the blackhole of hope that you will get your money's worth.

To be fair, it was an action movie with plenty of action (just none of it made sense). It also had good actors in search of good-acting (a decent script would have helped), with a theme about dreams within dreams...which should have been plots-within-plots...or even one plot for that matter.

The bottom line is that Inception was misnamed and should have been named 'Deception' in that its main attempt was to deceive you into think all the special-effects (which weren't so special) amounted to something worth seeing.

I noticed people kept heading for the snack bar, or rest rooms, but no one seemed to return. What's with that? After forty minutes, even my wife couldn't take it anymore...and we walked out to the snack bar and kept right on going (following the crowd) to the car.

Inception/Deception...you had best get your money this weekend. Sweet Dreams.
