Managed to sneak into a press preview of one of this summer's big blockbuster-y things, Inception.
It stars Little Leo DiCaprio, who still has a squeaky voice and can't, for me, carry an action movie.
But it also stars Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, two of the most interesting actors around at the moment.
Alas, the whole thing is a farrago of nonsense. I found it utterly baffling. Something about dreams within dreams, and someone who has the ability (through using what was described as a military machine but might as well have been a "magic box") to get into the dreams of other people and, er, extract things. And someone wanted to steal something from someone else, or, rather, to put in a thought rather than steal it (presumably "to incept"...?).
If you've seen the trailer with this scene:
... then I'm sorry to have to tell you that you've already seen the best bit of this preposterous and pointless movie.
PS: Little Leo and his Missus spent 50 years "building" (ie, imagining) their dream world, and they came up with something that looked like the treeless high-rise slums of Shanghai? Just how impoverished were their imaginations?!
