A deep story with unfathomable dimensions

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2010)

Inception is a ridiculously detailed movie, that is helmed by as much of a star (Christopher Nolan) than perhaps even his own all-star cast. You travel to the depths of the mind as far as no movie ever traveled before, and the concept is so mind boggling that you leave with doubts about your own existence. And without the help of the top stars of this movie, which you're sure to like at least one, I'm not sure that I would enjoy the rattling of my skull as much.
It is a considerable task to determine all the symbols and reasons before the events actually occur, and they occur at different rates of time, and reality is warped. Without spoilers, I will say that the places you travel are disturbing, and epic.
Inception requires a heavy dose of story build up, and the multi-dimensional climax is something to behold. And it takes some will of the viewer to follow along, but that is also one of Inceptions rewards: Is that it is challenging and worth the brain power you put into it.
Yes, Inception travels along at its own pace, and yes it can be overwhelming at a point, but the scenes are so masterfully put together, that it works. This movie is a lavish, unforgettable puzzle. At some point, you don't care about why they are there, only about how it will come to fruition. After all, it isn't the characters you decidedly care about, it is the ultimate climax of this deeply conceived movie.
The ending is full of question, but not frustratingly so. I say this with full regard of its affect, that the ending is appropriate, and should never be tampered with again. I do not ever want to see some directors cut out there that has a more "Hollywood" ending. Unbelievable
