Yes the actors are great, yes the visual effects are fantastic, yes the idea of putting ideas into other people's minds is eerie -- but the movie is boring. I lost interest when I figured out that gun battles were the only thing that seems to be happening. My question about the movie became -- when is the nonsense and noise going to stop. I never felt better as I left the dark movie and got out into the silent day light. Spending sometime at a local park after that was a great relief.
I think this is the kind of movie that no one understands but that everyone claims to understand.
All of a sudden everyone is a genius and this is the best movie in the world. I think what they are saying is that -- hay look at me -- I understand this movie and therefore I am a genius as I have always suspected.
This movie incorporated terms from psychology and it is obvious that the writers have studied psychology -- but they purposely payed no attention to scientific accuracy, and in fact seemed to deliberately get every thing about sleep science wrong. I think it is wrong to say that this movie is a sci-fi movie. It was a car crash movie. It was really funny to see the bad guys toting the aluminum brief cases with a red light in the middle. I want one of those.
My experience in seeing this movie has really got me up in arms. I want to seek out people who liked this movie and argue them down.
