Superb

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2012)

The film is brilliantly told. And I'm only refferring to the story concept. That's not to forget the outstanding editing, music, acting, design, and action sequences. All fit perfectly making it one of the best films I have seen in a long while.
Cobb our hero, is a dream extractor. His team enter the dreams of others to extract info while they sleep. He lives away from the United States because he has been accused of killing his wife Mal. All he wants is to return home to his children. So when he is offered a seemingly impossible job in return for the clearing of his name, he cannot refuse.
The job is Inception, the planting of an idea inside the dreams of someone else. He and his newly selected crew must convince the heir to a major corporation to dissolve his father's empire. They must enter deeper into the dream world than ever before. The situation is made even more complicated by the fact that Cobb's dead wife, Mal, is breaking into the dreams through his subconscious.
It would be easy to get lost in the intricacies of the concept. Nolan, however, is able to successfully pull it off with very little inconsistencies. Apart from the complexities of the story, the filmmaking techniques are entertaining and stimulating.The editing, is rarely tricky (I mean, how can you successfully show a van falling off a bridge for half the movie), but it couldn't have been done slightly better.
There are a few inconsistencies that, whether there is an explanation or not, is not clear. For example, why is limbo so dangerous if all you have to do to leave, is kill yourself. Also, while the film is brilliant, it can be a little difficult to follow, especially on the first viewing. The ending is not entirely unexpected, but extremely aggravating nonetheless. However, in my opinion, there are enough clues to give away the answer to that final question, so keep a lookout for those.
But to summarise, SUPERB!!
