The Diamond of Summer 2010

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2010)

If you liked Nolan's previous films "Memento" and/or "The Prestige", you will love Inception. Like those films it does a good job of setting the ground rules for the world so you are never confused but at the same time reality can be distorted but it never does at the expense of the story. Deep down this film is about forgiveness and letting go but also has a great sci-fi sheen that never takes that idea away. Even if the story doesn't hook you than you will be in awe of the set pieces that put many other films to shame where you never can predict what will come next. Overall this is a great film that will stand out this summer of lackluster films by being smart, action packed, and containing real emotion and heart. I can't recommend it enough.
