That could be it, but personally, I'd much rather watch your much-hated
Donnie Darko (my score - 8.5/10) than that forgettable flick.
(
MINOR spoilers below)
Sure everything looked pretty, they toyed with the concept of subjective reality, and people were floating around a lot... but I've seen much more intriguing dreamworlds portrayed on the big screen before (yes, I do understand that the dreamworld was supposed to reflect reality). I was stuck watching boring, unlikable characters spend hours convincing a guy to take down his father's corporation, through his dream.
...
Laaaaaaaame.
So yeah..."nothing special". It was like they crossed
The Matrix w/
Eternal Sunshine, but ended up with a product with less enthralling action than the former, and much less emotional beauty than the latter. The concept they set up was intriguing, but they honestly didn't do all that much with it.

In my

But yeah, I heard. It really, really sucks. Hopefully it's only a temporary funk that he's in.
