I am not going to discuss any particular event or reveal the beginning or ending to this two and a half hour ear & butt buster . However , I will warn anyone from walking into the theater unaware of what the storyline is about . I saw Shutter Island and really enjoyed DiCaprio's performance despite some negative reviews it got from professional critics . ...... So I paid my $12 bucks and bought a ticket for Inception and walked in without knowing what to expect . I thought this film would be more of a psychological thriller but I was mistaken . I found myself trying to play catch-up with this confusing plot from start to finish . I remember seeing people floating around in zero gravity, machine guns blazing , bombs exploding , buildings collapsing , numerous car crashes , and lots and lots of chase scenes , fights, falls, and natural disasters . Just about everything you would expect to see in any big budget summer action flick . By the time this long movie ended I couldn't have cared less . As I exited the theater I looked at the faces of my fellow movie goers . No one commented on how good it was or how much it stunk . They just looked relieved this unnecessarily long nightmare was over and quietly left . Most people here who took the time to review this picture apparently were not disappointed as I was . So I guess I'm in the minority of unhappy of Inception reviewers . If I could re-edit this movie I would 1) Chop off one hour . 2) Remove all dialog . 3) Speed up the film . 4) Change the soundtrack to that of The Benny Hill Show . ......... The next time I feel in need of another nightmare adventure I think I'll take an Ambien and hop in my clothes dryer .. I gave this movie a 4 because of some really good special effects ... ( Not so Hot ) ... P.W.H.
