Inception
Kirk Hamilton over at Kotaku has written the best review of Inception I’ve read yet, and does an excellent job of explaining why I think the film fails.
Spoiler alert:
My problems with the story can be summed up by the spinning top. The idea is that you choose something that is personal to you and has some secret characteristic that nobody else could duplicate in the dream world. So someone chooses a top? And the secret is that it falls over after spinning for a minute? This is lazy and thoughtless.
