Inception

Fifteen minutes into the film I was wondering why I decided to sit through another Christopher Nolan film. I am not a fan of his. I hate Memento, get twitchy when I watch Batman Begins, and only liked Dark Knight for Heath Ledger. So why did I see Inception? I was bored and it was the only thing playing that wasn’t for children. To me this movie was predictable and tedious. The whole premise seemed to be stolen from the Matrix, a far superior film. Again, I was left unimpressed by a Chris Nolan film.

I can’t believe I went into this movie except something new and different, but it’s just like all the other feel good indie dramadies out there. It’s a cast of quirky characters in an awkward situation talking about life to a hipster soundtrack. The only new thing about the film is Jonah Hill acting more like Michael Cera than this usual outrageous, raunchy self.
