Inception can suck it

Woah. This is really cool :)

It is a little crazy, but it is just beautifully complex and just so good

♥!

The original title of the film is Papurika.

what in the giddy hell did i just watch?

I liked the ideas behind the plot even though the presentation could have been better. It's nothing too complicated, but the surreal elements explained poorly, and the flow of the narration is a bit hard to follow at times. The charm of this film is the way it visually alternates and blends completely different domains of imagination during the dream sequences. It's really something that would be almost impossible to do in a live-action film.

The real problems arise in the last thirty minutes, when all expectations get brutally raped and killed as everything is resolved with a good vs evil showdown full of anime stereotypes (Godzilla-sized king of the darkness, semi-apocalyptic setting with skyscrapers falling apart, boobs in the air, etc.). And to make things even worse, they even decided to paint the ending with the colors of love and add a completely random romantic subplot in the last five minutes.

Still worth a watch for the visuals and concept, but felt like a wasted opportunity.

This is the definition of a film that is all about style over substance and dragged down by a poorly executed story.
The main story was supposed be a mystery thriller where the protagonists are forced to try and find and apprehend the dangerous thief who stole a DC Mini, but it was all over the place. It was full of clichés, plot twists that could be seen a mile away, character revelations that came out of nowhere and a romantic subplot that was so out of the blue. It felt like it was trying to do too much in a short period of time, and sadly its detective Toshimi psychotherapy subplot (which is a problem in itself; a film with a complex plot and a 1 hour and half run time does not have the time to expend on subplots) was more focused and engaging than its main storyline.

It gets confusing at times but I admire its boldness and big ideas.

Paprika goes a little too hard for my taste and I'm not a fan of "Inception-themed" movies, as I classify everything that dives too deep in the dream realm.
Overall is a beautiful piece, colorful and somehow overwhelming.
Not my first choice, as I said, but it's not hard to figure out why people make a big deal out of it.

only been watching for half an hour, already can give it a ten, a movie like transition between time and space, ahead of its time, if time ever exists...paving the way for Inception
