An architect's movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2010)

I just can't say how pleased I felt with my self for choosing to watch this movie despite everyone who had watched it and told me it's incomprehensible. In my experience so far, "incomprehensible" is a title given to movies by people of very limited concentration skills and when I hear it I generally take it as a good thing.
Inception is a movie that combines many genre's and cannot be said to be pure science fiction or even fiction. It deals with some classical (and for some, detrimental or outdated) philosophical issues with a very exciting and engaging way. The structure of the plot and the unveiling of information is done masterfully, and even the most fictional aspects are given in a very down to earth and "solid" way so that they don't undermine the climax of the viewer's emotions. Superb acting is happily married with breathtaking and very believable visual effects and photography that will satisfy even the most demanding of audiences.
If I had to point out a problem I would say that it is a movie that demands attention as the plot is so thick that even a momentary distraction can limit understanding. That being said, it is not a "cerebral" movie since the emotional narrative with it's many bitter-sweet pleasures is what shines in the end and makes this architectural fantasy a movie that anyone should see.
