Extremely Interesting and Still Entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2015)

I'd been told this movie was very forgettable and not really anything special, but I owned it so I thought I should probably watch it. I was and wasn't surprised to find that it was very close to perfection.
Inception is not a movie where you can afford to zone out. You need to pay attention to get the full enjoyment out of this film. I found that I still zoned out at times, but nevertheless understood most of it and was able to enjoy it immensely. It's epic, with interesting characters and a very unique concept.
However, it takes more then a good idea to make a good story. Inception, however, had both. It set itself up to be an epic, yet complicated, movie, and thus it succeeded. It showed the audience that it would be part action right away, which allowed it to make more sense for the plot to involve a good amount of action, and largely revolved around that. Christopher Nolan knew what he was doing with his idea, and that's something that can be hard to find these days.
Overall, Inception is great. I've heard too many people I know say its dumb or nothing special, but I feel like they say that simply because it got high ratings that they may not entirely agree with (or to be the devil's advocate). But when you get down to it, Inception is fantastic. The visuals are great, the concept it great, and overall it's just really well done. Sure, the characters could use work, but that's about the only place where the movie lacked. If your looking to sit down for over 2 hours to think and enjoy something epic, then look no further then Inception.
