A Work of Genius

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2010)

There are hardly sufficient superlatives to describe this film.
It is a work of genius, not only for its powerful emotional content but in its treatment of fundamental philosophical questions that have haunted people for millennia.
This very solid narrative core is the superstructure supporting the film's eye-candy of impressive visual effects and action. Yet this aspect of production never treats its audience as fools, and merely drape the narrative complexity.
Among all of this, the acting performances are entirely credible. The cast that has proved itself to be extremely accomplished at handling this material. This is no mean feat.
Nolan has surpassed himself in both screenplay and direction.
This is the best new production I've seen in many years. It will be an "instant classic", talked about for years to come.
Inception is the sort of modern myth that we desperately need to explore in this post-modern age.
