Surprising complexity
PostedAugust 22, 2010

from Falls Church, VA
Starting with what I consider an improbable premise -- the idea that dreams can be interactively shared, the film builds an exciting complexity of dreams within dreams that compels the willing suspension of disbelief. As the different levels of dreams (I count five, including the last two wholly unplanned ones) become more and more complicated, you begin to lose hope that this will ever sort itself out and then suddenly, in rapid succession, the denouements come one after another (six of them, counting the "real-world" one at the very last), and neatly tie everything together. A thoroughly exciting and satisfying film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fun but over-rated

A very well-done computer game/comic book sort of movie, a lot of fun but hardly a great work of art. Exciting in spite of the tiresome political correctness. Every cliche in the book is painfully employed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Outstanding production

This is a dramatic, energetic performance of Carmen. The singing and acting are wonderful: warm, nuanced and convincing. The sets are very good too, though perhaps not quite so spectacular as the Met's previous Zefferelli sets. I hope to see this production again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
