Pseudo-intellectual nonsense

There's a difference between an intelligent plot and a plot that's convoluted for the sake of being convoluted. It's a shame Hans Zimmer wasted his beautiful score on this exposition-laden drivel.

It is not a bad movie but it certainly is overrated. They took the element of "trying to make the story sound smart" a bit too far.

I agree with that statement.

the more times i watch this film.. the more I agree.

it's fairly overrated. even when i try to follow all details and character motivation, etc.. i still find the plot pretty convoluted and weak.

cool visuals tho . .

In all sincerity can you be a bit specific? I loved this movie when it came out and I saw it yesterday at the theater and still love it.

What is "trying to make the story sound smart" a bit too far?

I am not looking to argue, I’m honestly curious.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you keep watching it if you don't like it?

Y'all too stupid

Yeah, but it was great-looking, marvelously atmospheric nonsense!

I like the movie overall, even though it doesn't do to look too hard at the script.

Meh it really wasn't that interesting visually. For a movie about dreams it was incredibly sterile and unimaginative.

I always found it to be a weaker, more pretentious, less impressive version of The Matrix.

I could say the same about.

About what?

agreed

[–] papamihel (1579) 3 years ago

I am beginning to think that it is.

Was it really convoluted though? A dream within a dream isn't all that complicated to understand.

It is for the poster and others here. "Pseudo-intellectual" Really.
