Nolan's imaginative creativity at its best in this mind-bending thrill ride!

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2010)

Inception is a brilliant movie in so many ways. The director, Christopher Nolan, did a superb job with the story. The plot starts off at a fairly quick pace and from there it can be challenging to keep up. You will have to pay (close) attention to fully ascertain key plot details, similarly to Memento. The soundtrack seemed very appropriate and was also impressive. Leo (Cobb) and Cotillard (Mal) both delivered dramatic, arresting performances. Overall, I thought the entire cast did a great job, displaying real chemistry. The way Nolan weaves this intricate plot together with all the action scenes and multiple levels of dreaming is quite astounding. In the end, I view Inception as an "abstract painting." You can simply look at it and you'll appreciate its creativity almost immediately. However, the longer you watch it the more you realize that this is a seriously complex film. In a sense, it can go almost as deep as you want it to. It is so imaginative at the end of the film I wondered how exactly I should classify it. The ending might frustrate you, but it will undoubtedly provoke genuine curiosity out of the viewer. This is a must-see film, don't miss it!
