Must watch once. The second time, it will blow you away.

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2010)

In a genre less frequented by filmmakers, and even less frequented with critical and commercial successes- Nolan succeeds- and how! In bringing out his interpretation of dreams, he effectively converts the whims and fancies of a human mind onto the visual medium. Your habits become cities, your memories become people, your resistance to open up becomes a bunch of goons trying to pin you down. Like the Matrix, Total Recall etc, Nolan creates a world all by himself and lays down its rules. The only place where he could be caught napping would be if he does not go by his movie's rules. Unlikely ever that anyone would understand Nolan's interpretation of his creation.. much like how everyone could view a same scene from Inception in a different manner. Once, twice and more viewings of this movie- we would still be searching for Nolan's needle in the haystack.
This movie demands your attention for 2 and a half hours. Every frame, every second, every dialog, every detail shown on screen looks to represent something. A little long I would say, but two days after viewing Inception I still cannot seem to shrug it off. Still finding new ways of looking at the movie.
Inception will possess you, play with your mind, bend your thinking, squeeze dry your gray matter. If you have the brains for Nolan to screw with, go watch this.
