Pretty cool movie, especially the visual effects. I like the scenes where the dream begins, pretty cool. A tremendously exciting science-fiction thriller that's as disturbing as it sounds. This is a popular entertainment with a knockout punch so intense and unnerving it'll have you worrying if it's safe to close your eyes at night. The film is easier to admire than to fully grasp or be moved by it. Still, it's worth surrendering to the dream. Everything he (Nolan) does is forced and over thought, and Inception, far from being his ticket into hall-of-fame greatness, is a very expensive-looking, elephantine film whose myriad so-called complexities -- of both the emotional and intellectual sort -- add up to a kind of ADD tedium.
