I've always watch the same movie back to back in the cinema. Inception was no different. But after the first watch, I changed the second ticket to Predators instead, which I've already watched. Personally for me, Inception doesn't worth my second viewing.

I've no complaints about the plot. I mean, I'm all for mind-bending, fantasy-reality mixups, but the rest of the movie left a sour taste in my mouth. Dark Knight was a different note. Nolan nailed it perfectly to balance action with great storyline and great acting. In Inception, the only strong point is in the story, but even with so much details go into the plot, in the end there are too many loose ends left for viewers to wonder.

Honestly, here is the ONE thing I felt very dissapointing....


Simply put, I can't feel any sympathy or even feel any connections with the characters. Everyone came out heartless/emotionless. And herein lies Nolan' weakness in movie-making. He kinds of lack in putting emotions into his movies. Even in Dark Knight, I can't feel the sadness in Bruce Wayne nor do I feel sad when her woman dies.

For all its worth, I'm looking forward reading the novel and enjoy myself recreating the dream world for myself.

because these action scene took up 30% of the whole movie, which totally was unnecessary in the first place and doesn't play up perfectly to the dream state enigma. It'll be more awesome if the architect or even the dreamer can conjure some sort of Matrix type of scene.
"Tank: So what do you need? Besides a miracle."
"Neo: Guns. Lots of guns. ..."

Now that's what I call dream. That stupid snow scene was even worst. How the hell that these elite team, chosen for their own expertise, ends up being just another shoot-em-up macho men?
