REVIEW:

To start out, here are some words to describe it:
Incredible, Awesome, Thrilling, Jaw-dropping, Visually Stunning, Mind-bending, Jackhammer

Yeah, it was good.

In my opinion, Inception wasn't all that complicated. The rules of the dream world are explained basically by Ellen Page, her only job in the movie. And then you use those throughout the movie. You get the basic narrative: Technology exists where you can share dreams and steal ideas.. or plant them?!?! And it only gets complicated if you decide on an alternative that presents itself at the end of the movie. Then many things could have occurred. You just have to pay attention, and never use the bathroom. This movie makes you think throughout, and after the credits roll. You will want to see it again.

Christopher Nolan is a great director, arguably the best of the decade. He mostly uses very intelligent and innovative film noir. Inception is a bit like an earlier film, Memento, which you also need to see. Both movies use the protagonist to emotionally drive the movie because they both experienced a major loss, who also turns out to be the antagonist in Inception. Now I'm not saying Leo does a bad job of it, it's just nothing new. He portrays it a lot like in a recent film, Shutter Island. All the other leads do great; however, none play a very big role, resulting in not too much character development.

Nolan is very literal-minded. In Inception, the character's dreams are just like reality. Very sophisticated structurally and architecturally. Now this could be a good thing or a bad thing. For example, if they used my dreams, it would get out of hand. Dinosaurs and supermodels would be running wild. Zack Snyder's upcoming film, Sucker Punch, seems to be using the latter. I prefer what Nolan does in Inception.

Visually, Inception is amazing. It has one of the best fight scenes I have ever seen. And when all that dream within a dream stuff is going on, the editing is fantastic. Nolan doesn't particularly like CGI and uses practical methods, which make the experience even better. Also, like us, he is not a fan of 3D. Wally Pfister's cinematography is great, and so is Hans Zimmer's score.

A lot of critics denounce Inception for its lack of emotional resonance. In my opinion, it has just enough of it. Anymore and they would probably say it is overly sentimental. Films are always going to receive criticism, but I can't think of much to critize. It succeeds in a ton of ways. Inception is a must-see in the midst of all these brainless summer flicks (cough Twilight cough).
