Edward 1Street Fighter Inception (Review)

You will like the 1994’s Street Fighter Movie – the one starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Kylie Minogue.
But how can I possibly convince you to like a movie critically panned by movie critics universally?
First, I’ll come over to your house. Give you a tiger kick to the chin. Hook you up to a machine I and two other friends hook up to, and enter your dream.
Yes. Your dream! But you won’t know it is a dream. Because you will wake up, thinking everything is real. The rows of books in the library you always studied at looks real, feels real. The desk you rest your laptop on, pretending to do your homework but really watching the latest episode of Dragonball Z is routine. Suddenly, I come up to you, grip your wrist and tell you a movie about the most influential fighting game on the planet, is turning into a film. You nerd out for a bit and I present to you an airplane ticket to where they are shooting the film, before my female companion gives you a spinning bird kick to the face.
Your knocked out, get hooked up to a machine, and me and my other mate get sedated and fall asleep, while the 3rd member sits back and plans how to wake us up at the appropriate time.
Then you wake up on the set of the Street Fighters movie. You wonder how you got there, but remember the ticket I gave you explains your predicament. While you look around the set, the director of the film, Steven E. de Souza, comes up to you. He tells you how film making works and why the film is different than the source material, but leaves you with final, inspirational words: that the strength of the film is only as strong as the support it has from its fans, especially you. You will have an epiphany and, when you wake up, you will have a reason why you will like the film. Despite how terribly ass it is.
Little will you realise, the library you were in was a dream. And the set of Street Fighter was a dream within the library dream. Also, the director of the film happened to be my second accomplice whom created the image you see of Steven E. de Souza.
I know it sound like a lot of effort to make someone like a crappy film, but this little gamer fan-fiction is what my interpretation of the movie, Inception, is about. Except with attractive actors with a fleshed out main character, better story line, and twists which would make you gasp. Leonardo DiCaprio and his band of merry men and woman go into their victim’s dream to plant an idea by manipulating them in the dream. This basis is flipped over its head by the director of the best comic book film of this generation: The Dark Knight. Things go typically wrong, and time is of the essence to make the victim believe before everyone has to wake up, or get stuck in limbo. Somehow, the movie's concept isn't too difficult for a casual movie goer to figure out, while there is room for extensive analysis for loyal fans. It’s a gripping film and got me nerding out after the credits role, which any great film does.
Many people might not like 1994’s Street Fighter, but Inception is a film I think gamers and film goers will like.
GamerVerdict: 5/5
