Inception Vs Dark City

There has been a lot of talk recently about Inception. The net especially Facebook has been abuzz about how awesome the movie is. Here is the trailer:

But still i don't plan to see it. Firstly after reading the review by Karl Quinn on SMH titled "Going deep — to a place that’s too silly for words" here are a few clip from the article:

"HOW old was I when I first wrote those words? Eleven, 12, maybe. I should remember because it was also the last time I wrote them without irony. ‘‘What an appalling cliche,’’ said Mr C, my grade 7 teacher, as he ordered me to stick out my hand so he could caress it gently with the cane end of a feather duster six or seven times.

Clearly Christopher Nolan didn’t go to a primary school run by the Sisters of Show No Mercy because he appears to have missed that little Pavlovian lesson in which crappy ‘‘it was all just a dream’’ scenarios are indelibly linked with a throbbing palm. As evidence, see Inception.

Nolan’s latest film has been called ‘‘the intellectually tantalising movie The Matrix wanted to be’’ (The Sydney Morning Herald), ‘‘so intense and unnerving it’ll have you worrying if it’s safe to close your eyes at night’’ (Los Angeles Times), and ‘‘confusing as all f---’’ (the guy next to me at the urinal afterwards). But I know what Mr C would say: ‘‘Nolan. Hand. Out. NOW!

Sadly, no one planted this thought in Christopher Nolan’s mind: ‘‘Mate, it’s too silly for words.’’"

So that is one reason why I am not rushing to the cinema and the second reason is because the trailer strangely reminds me of this....

Above is the trailer for Dark City (1998) a B grade sci-fi film staring Rufus Sewell (gloomy looking English guy) and a naked Melissa George in one of the worst films I have ever seen.
