Inception - The Movie

People have liken the movie to "The Matrix".

Well, I have to say, this is not the case. While yes, The Matrix has one person defying the machine's reality, changing things to his liking, but it is actually more bending the Machine's reality. Even ignoring the last two movies which people found to be sort of an attempt at the Messiah level... I have to say that Inception leans a little more to the following Movies:

Dark City
Dreamscape
The Thirteenth Floor
Total Recall

Dreamscape - Old 80s movie featuring Dennis Quaid where people delve into people's dreams. The Cell sort of touches that, but focuses more on Comatosed people, Dreamscape focused on psychics delving into normal people's dreams, then going into the fantastic.

Dark City - A surreal Sci-Fi Story about aliens changing people's dreams and perceptions.

The Thirteenth Floor - A virtual reality upon Virtual reality... This one is closer to what Inception is in concept.

Total Recall - Yes... I point to Total Recall because one of the things they kind of harp on it is "Is this a dream or is this reality?"

Well, not to go too far into the movie to ruin it for people, I will say this:

This is not a Matrix Rehash. Yes, there is the whole slow motion stuff, but not the "dodging of bullets". No super power play. The movie will make you wonder though at the end. I won't say more than that.

I would recommend the movie. The concept is interesting, it combines some of the elements of the movies I mentioned. The style is also pretty interesting as well.
