Amazing original blockbuster!

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2011)

Nolan proves once again that blockbusters don't have to be just plain CGI (Transformers anyone?), and actually have am engaging script as well.
Inception was pretty good. I would not consider myself as the biggest fan of Nolan, but i have liked all of his films, so maybe i already fall into that category. Having seen all the praise this was getting, i was expecting something grand in the theater... and something grand is what i got, and more.
While the acting isn't the film's strong suit, it's not by any means bad. Leonardo did a very convincing job as Cobb, and i was impressed by Marion's performance as Mal. Joseph Gordon did good, and Tom Hardy was just amazing. I might get bashed here, but i also liked Ellen Page. Cillian Murphy was amazing for me as well.
But what this film did for me was having me real tight on the edge of my seat. Nolan scripted the film in an amazing way, filled with ambiguity and just plain awesomeness that i don't know how to describe. I liked the whole mission and how Nolan boarded the dream levels. I found it very original, although i haven't watched that many films about dreams. I found the action scenes pretty good and all the technical thing in the film are great. I'd like to see Harry Potter 7 get the Oscar for either Art Direction or visuals (because i am a fan), but i know that won't happen because inception does really deserve them.
I won't lie and say that even though i did understand most of the film, the saito business left me confused, so i backed my theory up by reading some threads in here. I actually thought he was not dreaming anymore, and even if he was, it was a happy ending to see him with his kids once again.
Needless to say the audience gasped at the totem both times i watched it.
The score was really fitting, but i still want John Powell's How to train your dragon score to win the Oscar.
Pretty amazing blockbuster film, showing how Nolan pretty much is one of the best filmmakers of our time. Inception shall be remembered for years, and very much deserves so.
