Definitely One To Watch.

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2010)

I'm not usually one for giving a 10 out of 10 mark, but having seen Inception three times, i can definitely say it deserves full marks. Having read the reviews on here, i've decided i'm not going to write a synopsis since almost every other review has at least a simple summary.
Many are a saying Inception was just boring; the characters didn't mesh well; it had so much potential; too much going on; too long; how can it be 3'd best film ever, yada yada yada. I don't agree with any in the slightest. If you found it boring, then you didn't grasp the whole concept of the movie and the ideas it brought up.
I first saw the trailer back in early July, was immediately intrigued but went on holiday for 2 weeks. As i came back i learned it had been on the Twitter trending topics the whole time i was away, so i decided indefinitely that it was time i went and saw it myself. Having read an extremely short synopsis saying 'The film follows a man who steals, not material objects, but ideas and dreams', i didn't know what to expect. But it was more then i had ever imagined it to be.
Not once did i look at my watch whilst in the screening. And if i did, it was because i was checking how much longer was left as i didn't want it to end. The story i personally think is simple. It doesn't take a genius to work it out. But its the intelligence within it that's released from the the characters that make it what it is. Graphics are brilliant, especially with buildings exploding here and there in slow motion. Not over the top but without a doubt satisfying.
I do have a soft spot for Ellen Page. Since i saw her in 'Hard Candy', i've been intrigued in the work she chooses. She was beyond perfect for the role of Ariadne; an innocent, dedicated student who definitely helps the audience out with questions that needed answering. Leonardo DiCaprio, perfection in all it's glory. Perfect choice for Dom. The cast as a whole was well put together. They each make their role their own. I wouldn't have chosen any better in all honesty.
But i can write as much as i want trying to persuade you to give this movie a chance regardless of some mindless people's reviews. But the decision does ultimately lie on your shoulders. Whether or not you think you may enjoy this movie, i would give it a go in any case. You may be pleasantly surprised.
I adored the soundtrack to this movie. All orchestrated. Pure brilliance. The impact it made on each scene was astounding. I highly, highly, highly recommend you listen to it whether you decide to watch the movie or not.
I don't think i can create a review that sums up it's impact it had on me. I could sit here and write all day how brilliant i thought it was and talk about every minute detail that engrossed me, but then i would be here all week. How do i bring this to a end though... An eventful, non-stop, intelligent, incredible, jaw-droppingly, engrossing film, with an ending that will leave you pulling your hair out and wanting more. This is how i'd describe it. I do hope that they leave it at one Inception though. Making a second one would ruin it entirely for me. It's always a tragic mistake.
I must also add that it took me three viewings to finally suss out all the characters names! Complicated in that aspect.
