This review contains spoilers.
Inception is a science-fiction action film that premiered in the year 2010. The movie is directed by and written by Christopher Nolan. The movie is produced by Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan. The movie stars Leonardo Dicaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, and Ellen Page. The movie follows a group of thieves that steal information by infiltrating the target's dreams. Dom Cobb, played by Leonardo Dicaprio leads the thieves and is forced into one last heist to have his criminal past history removed.
Christopher Nolan knocks at it out of the park with this movie. This movie is both visually exciting and directorially interesting to watch. There are so many awesome set pieces and effects in this movie. All of this is helped by the explanation of dreaming. Any setting is possible and all of the scenes are creative. The main heist the movie focuses on is a multi-part sequence that works incredibly well. The movie puts less of a focus on the real-life aspects of the movie and this is not the focus.
The actual writing in this movie is excellent. This writing provides a solid foundation for the rest of the movie to work off of. Much of the writing is so well done that it makes these somewhat one-dimensional characters more interesting. The writing is great in setting up scenes, dialogue, and world. The writing is not so good at explaining and making the audience invested in the characters. The only character that the audience might care about is Dom Cobb.
Dom Cobb is played incredibly well by Leonardo Dicaprio. This character has an interesting story with his deceased wife that is explained well. This character is most likely the only character the audience will remember. The other characters are in more supporting roles that the movie does not focus on. The other characters are not given any other interactions besides interactions pertinent to the plot.
The movie may also feel over bloated with such a large cast and the point of view switching constantly. I did not find this to be a big issue but the movie does drag when it wants to set up ideas and designs. These ideas being mainly the conflict between Dom Cobb and Mal Cobb, played by Marion Cotillard.
I would recommend Inception. The movie is solid. The movie is also rewatchable with many small details being revealed on multiple watches.
