Twisted tale of subconscious mind

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2010)

Inception is probably one of the most complex, yet one of the best science fiction motion picture. Chirstopher Nolan's forte is science fiction, mind bending thrillers, but without any doubt this picture is on the top of his stack.
Kudos to Nolan for his tight intelligent script, with great emotional impact as well. If you see this film for first time, you will observe a clean storyline with a 'happy ending'. But after repeated viewings, the whole 'idea' of the film will come forward to you.
I can see numerous of people having different theories about the end of the film - whether it was a dream or reality. But Nolan simplifies it, and you hear this line in the film 'The dream has become their reality'. That's it. I won't go on discussing probable endings for the film, but the film is simply what you think it is. And that is the beauty of the screenplay.
The film has some great show of Leonardo's acting skills. The top notch acting from the supporting cast makes the film more special. And the details that Nolan has thrown to us is just outstanding. He has created the whole 'science' of dreaming, and different terms -- Nolan has become a scientist! Another commendable, in fact great job is done by production designer Guy Dyas and man behind the camera Wally Pfister. The atmosphere of the 3 layered dream with a limbo is amazingly put forth towards the audience. Lee Smith, the editor of the film, must have scratched his head for a long period of time for getting this multifaceted dream scape film in right pacing. And he hits the hammer right on the nail perfectly.
One thing worth mentioning his how Hans Zimmer got the whole score persuasively right. The whole blend of Edith Piaf's 'Non, Je ne regrette rien' in the score is fascinatingly beautiful. And the fact that the song does have a great significance the film as well makes this film more extraordinary. And the score has one of the best use of brass I've seen in recent times.
I will quote from another IMDb reviewer who wrote, "In a Decade, Inception May Be A Religion". The film will probably attain an epochal position in the history of motion pictures. Undoubtely, Inception is not a film to be missed in theaters, and only bad thing about his film is that it requires very, very careful watch, otherwise, as Eames said, it will make your brains turn to scrambled egg.
Don't miss this film. It will blow your mind away. An idea will be incepted upon you. Definitely. And what is that idea? - The film is brilliant.
