How wonderful sleep is, death and his brother sleep

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 2010)

A decade ago first time I watched "The Matrix" which can be best summarised "mind-bending plot meets mind-numbing experience". It took me a good couple of viewings to get the gist of it and a few more to get it right. After "Inception" I feel the same, its puzzle which would keep me engaged for sometime to come. No two ways about it, the concept is clever and complex at the same time. Only a maverick can pull the spectacular feat of translating on the screen, and Mr. Christopher Nolan makes use of CGI quite effectively (without being risked as overdose).
Di Caprio was good with his restrained look and demons to battle within. Michael Caine role could be termed as special appearance. Ken Wantabe forces over-the-top expressions in the initial reels. Marion Cotillard character initially gets portrayed with negative shades.
The process of extraction could have been a prequel in its own right. I say this because the explanation of the concept was too quick and it moved to the "Inception" part hastily.
So far the conventional plots were wrapped in a single climax. "Inception" has nail-biting "mother-of-all-climaxes" - it has three and failure in a single dream can collapse the entire proceeding like a pack of cards.
I was advised not to even think of using the men's room as I would risk losing the narrative. My advise, don't even blink!
PS: Forget super-heroes, you should make more of this sorts Chritopher.
