no praise from me. and nolan has been making awful movies since 2008.

OK, just watched this for the first time since the first time, whenever that opening weekend was, and ... it's fine. But for a movie about what it is about, and told the way it is told, there are just way too many machine guns and snowmobile chases. It's like he lacked the courage of his convictions and just cynically decided to throw in the ski chase from "The Spy Who Loved Me."

trying to watch this again after the first go round x years ago when I only made it up to the snow level scene. really trying to watch this objectively and understand what makes people like it but seriously...

I'm maybe missing the point or I should just accept it for what it is: a metaphysical James Bond movie that is all plot and no blood

but it's the central conceit of the film: dreams, and how little the dreams in this film relate to my own experience of dreaming - it actually makes me angry that someone would make a film like this. like, had Nolan ever even experienced dreams? does he know what a dream is?

There's a widely circulated theory that it's actually about film making. I dig Inception fine as a metaphysical Bond film, but I agree much more could've been made of the brilliant central conceit.

If it wanted to be more like real dreams, it could have used more snakes.

It's worth remembering the crew create the dreams for their targets, so they're not 'real' dreams.

If I'm remembering correctly.
