PURE GENIUS!

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2019)

GENIUS! That's the best way I can describe Inception. Christopher Nolan has crafted one of the most widely original and unique films ever.
Inception is pretty much near perfection. Everything in this movie is handled with immense care. The plot, characters, sets, score, visual effects and direction are all masterfully helmed. Christopher Nolan's story is special. There isn't anything quite like it. The plot has so many layers and complexity to it that I found it so enjoyable piecing it together. I love how Nolan decided to let us work everything out instead of spoonfeeding us all the information. This way we would have to pay attention closely to what's taking place which I find more satisfying. There are many moments throughout the movie where Nolan builds character to each role. That added depth allowed me to understand each character's decisions and get a better feel as to what some characters are going through.
Leonardo DiCaprio shines in his role of Cobb. He adds so much more to the character through his expressions. He truly is a talented actor. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was amazing as the more reserved person of the group. Tom Hardy was really good and funny. Ellen Page did really well and Ken Watanabe was fantastic. It didn't feel like anyone outshined anyone. Each actor was given a time to shine. A stellar cast like this were bound to give praiseworthy performances.
The cinematography was gorgeous. Not once do you feel like looking away from the screen because of how incredible it looks. The special effects are jaw-dropping. The effects aren't just there to make the film look good but it also complements the story. Hans Zimmer's score, which is perfect, accompanied with the cinematography and effects create an experience that you won't forget easily.
Inception is one of those rare films that change the Hollywood scene. This is a film which I feel the masses and filmmakers will remember for a long time. Nolan proved once again why he's one of the best filmmakers working today. His vibrant script combining the genres of sci-fi, action and heist come together in perfect harmony. The sheer complexion and ambiguous themes will definitely get people to think and discuss what it all could mean. Christopher Nolan has outdone himself.
