INCEPTION - An Anti- Review

Inception was on my most awaited movies list ever since the first trailer.After watching the FDFS show , i thought "who am i to write the review of inception?"
And so here am comes for the very first time ---An Anti-Review of INCEPTION!





Inception is the new film from the zero time oscar award winner Christopher Nolan ,starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page.I have lots of problems with this film, for starters the director fails to connect with the audience properly.Cinema is basically about the three E`s - educate,enlighten and entertain! But Christopher Nolan fails to enlighten or educate and lets forget about entertainment!! You try so hard to understand what INCEPTION tries to say, but the film is like one big puzzle that refuses to get solved.Watching INCEPTION is like sitting inside a gas chamber- that`s right a big torture!

INCEPTION leaves you exasperated and disgusted. Exasperated, because till the end credits roll, you just don’t know what happened in those 2 hours. Disgusted, because Nolan had a solid cast [Leo,Ellen,Cotillard,Caine,Joseph] and big production house[Warner bros] at his disposal. Yet, he couldn’t pull it off.


The only aspect that INCEPTION stands out is the special effects which are few and far in between.There is a kiss scene between Joseph and Ellen which is`nt properly shown, what a waste!In the climax of the film the editor cut the scene which would have showed whether Leonardo`s METAL TOP continued spinning or came to a rest leaving the audience to confusion.Moreover they do not show whether Ellen Page falls in love with Joseph Gordan at the end of the film or not-what a complete waste of a heroine!

There are many illogical scenes like the scene where Leonardo and Ellen enter into a lift and when they come out a beach appears.The director obviously left his brain behind while making this film.The editing and screenplay are the weakest point of the film where multiple layers of boring dream sequences are shown incoherently.The director is also not clear whether Marion Cotillard plays a negative or positive character in this film and thereby confusing the audience even more.


On the whole,INCEPTION is a strict one time watch just for the star cast and special effects.In the box office it will have a good opening because of Leonardo DiCaprio but will fail to sustain the audience in the long run.

2/5
