Nolan's 'DREAM' Run Continues !

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2010)

Once in a while comes a movie that changes our perception of movie-making! For Nolan, its just another day's work. As Inception, the most highly anticipated movie of the summer, gets brains and brawls just in the right proportion to make the perfect summer movie. Inception is an intelligent, innovative, ingenious, intriguing movie. To cut a long story short, its Incredible.
Dom Cobb (CAPRIO in YET another great role) masters the art of stealing ideas from a person's dream. He helps his clients in corporate espionage and that makes him an internationally wanted fugitive. But it is not only the Law that chases him, as the memories of his deceased wife Mallorie (CORTILLAD) keeps on haunting his mind. He is helped by his researcher Arthur (GORDON-LEVITT) in entering a target's mind. Desperate to get home, he takes on a daring last mission for Saito (WATANABE) that requires him to enter a corporate head Fischer's (MURPHY) mind NOT to steal an idea but to INCEPT one. He is also helped by a dream architect Ariadne (PAGE), a chemist who specializes in sedatives (RAO) and a forger who can impersonate another inside a dream Eames (HARDY) in this job. But, as all Nolan fans can expect, things don't as planned. The rest is for you to catch at a theater near you.
The story is tense, deep and disturbing. The tension is taut and it hardly ever slackens. The dreams within dreams within dreams concept is complex to say the least. It requires complete attention from the viewer if he wants to decipher every little puzzle the movie throws. The acting is top-notch. The all-star cast (with special appearances by Nolan's favorite Michael Caine and the ever-dependable Pete Postlethwaite) delivers superbly. The haunting music by Hans Zimmer deserves a special mention. The visuals are very good and intelligently made.
All in all, the year's best movie yet (and should be till the year end), that requires multiple viewing for complete understanding and is poised to be THE cult classic of the decade! Take a bow, Nolan! Your ideas will be worth the steal!
