My girlfriend and I went to see Inception on opening day, and we both loved it. Christopher Nolan's script is clever and original, and in mere minutes after the movie begins you are hopelessly trapped in the intriguing world Leonardo DiCaprio lives in. At first you have no idea what's going on, but the mechanics of Nolan's universe are revealed little by little throughout the story. The concepts and ideas that serve as the foundation for Inception are so complex they have to be thoroughly explained, and while some exposition is inevitable, Nolan delivers it with flare and without pandering to the audience. In addition to the wildest story you've seen in years, the acting is great, the visuals are fantastic, and the whole movie works beautifully. Sometimes, the music was too loud and you couldn't hear the dialogue, but that only happened a couple of times and I don't want to nitpick. What's a little loudness when you have the most original action scenes since The Matrix? And the action scenes were not the only thing that reminded me about that modern classic, mind you, but that doesn't mean Inception is like The Matrix. Well, it is, but only in the sense that it is as daring, innovative, and mindbending as the Wachowski brothers' masterpiece. (Hopefully, there won't be any clunky sequels coming our way, though.) Therefore, if you are looking for a great time at the movies this summer, go see Inception, and then tell us how you think the movie ends. I have a few theories, but I'm not going to share them with you until you see the movie. Enjoy!

Ya sé que no está relacionado con la entrada, pero por fin se me ha ocurrido otra buena película basada en un vídeojuego además de Tomb Raider 1 y 2: Silent Hill. Y, en la categoría de animación, Resident Evil: Degeneration, que comenté hace algún tiempo, está muy bien también. Claro que, como no te gustan las pelis de horror, vas a decir que estas dos son una porquería :)
que no me gustan las pelis de terror no quiere decir que no sepa si es buena o no, aliens es magnifica. Ya le hecharemos un vistazo a tu degeneration.
