Inception Review

Every so often there comes a movie so smart and so incredibly thought-provoking that you think about it weeks after you've seen the film. Usually these movies are lost in the shuffle with remakes, sequels, and movies based on something else. These smart films never make it as big as mediocre movies like Transformers (dare I even call it a movie?), and its a real shame. Movies are made to tell a story, not show off how a computer can make some realistic looking explosions. What makes Inception so great is that it tells an incredibly intricate story while delivering exciting visuals and action to keep our brains from completely exploding.

Inception is a completely original idea, not a sequel or anything, and Christopher Nolan (director and writer) has been working on this for 10 years. And now after seeing this masterpiece, I understand why. The story is so complicated that it is impossible to understand everything happened, why it happened, and how it happened, with only one viewing of the movie. The awesome thing about Inception is that you can watch it again and again and get something new every time. I mean, they go inside someone's dream, and in that dream they go into another dream, and in that dream they go into another dream, and finally, well, I won't spoil it.

The amazing thing is how Nolan crafts his storytelling. If anyone else made this movie, it wouldn't make any sense and it would be too confusing to appreciate. Somehow, Nolan had the audience in mind as he created this story, but at the same time let his story have no bounds. There will be no one who can tell what happened at the end, except for Christopher Nolan himself, who is the only person who fully understands it.

The visuals are also stunning, even more after I found out that nearly no CGI was used (hotel scene, exploding tables at the outdoor restaurant, that was all real). I even read that the actors actually had to sleep during the epic car chase scene! But seeing the hotel room changing gravity as two actors battle is an unforgettable sight, and that has to be one of my favorite action sequences of all time.

If you've seen any of Nolan's movies before, you probably noticed that they dont really have much heart, and while the stories are always well told, you dont always care about characters that you were intended to care for. Nolan knew this was his weakness while writing the script, and with the help of Leo DeCaprio, created a backstory that really does give the character personality. You actually really care for every character in the movie, and many scenes are extremely sad (but like I said, no spoilers!).

If you are debating whether to see this movie, then here it goes. If you have no brain and just like special effects, go sit on your couch, eat some potato chips, and watch Transformers 2. If you are a person that actually does have a brain, and perhaps maybe even uses it, then Inception is THE best movie ever made. There, I said it. Nolan has topped his Dark Knight masterpiece and created the most astounding visual and cerebral experience the movie industry has ever seen. You honsestly cant watch any movie the same way after seeing Inception. Because of this, I am awarding Inception with my first ever A+. If you dont see this movie, well, I hope bad things happen to you. Just kidding! No really, I'm serious.

Toy Story 3 Review

Anyone who grew up with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the crew have been eagerly awaiting the sequel to our favorite childhood movie. All the voice actors returned, and everything is just like how it used to be. But is the 3rd film in the series enough for Toy Story fans, or is it dissapointing to the fans?

The story of Toy Story (thats a lot stories!) has Andy going to college, which ultimately has the toys going to a what seems like a toy's heaven, but of course its not what it seems. There aren't too many twists, but was anyone really expecting any? Actually, towards the end I heard some people crying (not me of course), but I'm not gunna spoil that. The film ends bittersweet, but it is completely satisfying (there's no Toy Story 4, is there?)

The voice acting is as good as ever, with all the same cast as the original. Looking back on the old ones and seeing this new one, CG animation has improved since then but not a whole lot. I guess thats what happens when something is revolutionary.

So the story's good, the visuals are good, whats a negative of this movie? Well, besides the slightly sad ending, the only thing that I disliked was the omission of Emperor Zurg, who was my favorite character growing up. But I guess the Ken doll makes up for that.

While Toy Story 3 certainly didn't exceed my expectations one thing is for sure: Pixar is the king of animated movies, and everything they make is genius. The third Toy Story film is no exception, and if you liked the originals, you cannot miss this.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Movie Review

Mostly anyone who knows me knows I am a huge Prince of Persia fan, and if you ask me any question about the series, I'll know it. That why i was looking forward to and dreading the film based on the first game of the PS2 trilogy.

The thing is, it really isn't based on the games. While it has the same title, there is virtually nothing the same as the PS2 game its based on. Heck, they didn't even keep the same names (besides King Sharaman)! The only thing similar is the dagger of time, but even that is different from the game.

So needless to say, I was disappointed. I thought the plot of the game could easily have been made into a feature film, if not the whole trilogy. But instead of doing a comparison to the game, I decided to review the movie as its own. The hard part about that is that this movie is compared to so many things (Pirates of the Caribbean, the game of course), so forgetting that, here's my REAL review.

Prince of Persia follows Prince Dastan, the adopted child of the King of Persia. The prince has never been good at following orders, and often goes against the plan. This is where Prince of Persia becomes formula. The Prince gets framed, goes on a journey with a princess to prove his innocents, becomes the hero, etc. There isn't anything here that hasn't been done before, unlike the game, which was revolutionary at its time.

But, like most summer blockbusters, your here for the visuals. This is the redeeming factor of Prince of Persia. Every action sequence, especially the finale, is absolutely incredible. This is one of the few similarities of the game, with amazing visuals throughout.

So while the story isn't original, but the visuals are amazing, Prince of Persia fits in with the average summer flick. While it isn't a memorable experience, and it certainly is disappointing seeing its potential, Prince of Persia accomplishes what a summer movie usually does: createsa visually exciting experience that will soon be forgotten once the next summer movie comes out.
