Probably a film that requires the most brain activity to understand

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2010)

This film is about a man who is hired to implant false memories by a businessman into a rival businessman.
"Inception" excels on so many levels. Firstly, the plot is so intricate that it requires a lot of brain activity to understand. It is constantly cognitively challenging the viewers to keep up with the pace of the plot. I do not recall another film requiring so much thinking and digesting.
Secondly, the special effects are great, in every dream sequence there are effects to make people go wow. I particularly am impressed by the explosions in the first test dream sequence between Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page, and also the anti gravity effects. These effects do not come across as pretentious or contrived, like many other films where special effect scenes exist only for the sake of looking good in 3D.
Furthermore, the cinematography is well done. In addition, the array of great performances by a stellar cast is already well worth watching.
