Wonderfully crafted and intelligent masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2019)

This film is a wonderfully crafted adventure with an inventive plot. Christopher Nolan struck gold again making this movie. There are many twists and turns and the story always keeps you guessing through its intricate layout. It is also a film made for intelligent audiences, adding depth that isn't seen in other work.
The cinematography is outstanding. Nolan works the camera in interesting ways that keep the audience engaged. Technical brilliance and visual splendor have rarely blended together as beautifully. The acting is done wonderfully with a star-studded cast consisting of Leonardo Dicaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, and Cillian Murphy. The chemistry between the characters adds an extra sense of realism in this film. The thrilling music in the film is provided by none other than Hans Zimmer, who also set the mood for Nolan's previous film, The Dark Knight. Zimmer's emotional score draws the audience in and toys with their emotions at the same time. This masterpiece has a multi-layered plot, quite literally in fact. It focuses on the emotional journey of its lead character, Cobb, but at the same time thrusts the audience into multiple levels of action packed story- telling, very distinct from one another, but all finely connected. Inception is an extremely complex film, delving deep into the subconscious of the human mind.
