Inception: my opinion on the movie

Waring: the comments might contain some specific refences to plot details and might spoil your experience while you watch the movie. Reading after watching recommended.

Using virtual Immersion (In this movie, the virtual world is Dream happening in the brain of the person instead of a External simulation like in the movie Matrix) just to steal Information from a Rich guy !!! WTH ??

One smart concept wasted on one dumb motivation.

This is not a sci-fi movie if you interpret the word sci-fi in its true sense. I've read a review about this movie and christopher Nolan, in one popular media source- that went something like.."....Stanley Kubrick would have been proud". I say -"Kubrick would have regretted for being so less understood about his dedication to purity of presentation of a sci-fi concept (like in the movie -2001 space odyssey)". Actually, this could be a very good test that you could give to yourself to find out whether you like the sci-fi movies for the respect of pure novelty in science element or for how good they stimulate your emotions even at the expense of week rational justification of motivation for the whole plot. I fall in former and i believe Human emotion should just be a part of the sci-fi plot but not overcome the novelty of science element (Human emotion got greater weight in the movie but then christopher nolan didn't say that Inception is going to be a Non-commercial movie)

If a movie demands 2 hours of continuous attention, that doesn't mean there is two hours of worthy stuff. The concept underlying Matrix has far more potential to be projected in a complex manner by giving some convincing justifications for going deeper into three or four levels of simulated worlds. I am glad the makers of matrix stuck to just to one level and have given more importance to explaining or justifiying the motivations that drive the creation of virtual world, Matrix.

Anyway again, One smart concept wasted on one dumb motivation and on excess weight to human emotion over novelty in science element.
