Inception

[certainthings]

I watched Inception today. I don't get it.

I mean, it was a good movie ... I guess. And the actors did a good job and the effects/graphics were uh, cool?

But I don't get why people were and maybe still are so flaily over this movie.

Please tell me what I didn't get, what I failed to understand ... what I missed.

I really enjoyed it and bought it on Blu-ray, but about a week after I saw it in the theatre, I was over it. Also, I think it loses a lot in the translation from big screen to small. There are just some movies that need to be seen on a big screen.

Huh, perhaps that was what I missed. Seeing it on the big screen.

I've noticed I don't find movies like that as enjoyable when they hit DVD. I felt the same way about most big budget action movies. Iron Man and Iron Man II, while both good movies, seemed to lose something when I saw them on DVD.

I liked the dream world concept, it's something that's fascinating to me and I've used it in fan fic a few times, but I felt myself comparing the movie constantly to a flick that came out in the late 90s called The Thirteenth Floor. I know they were totally different ideas, but I couldn't stop thinking about it either way.
