Brains and brawn

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2013)

This is the type of movie that invites—almost demands—scrutiny. "But why...", "How...". It doesn't want you to just sit back and let the story wash over you. 'Inception' engages your brain. Asks you to tag along. It expects things of you. So complex and delicate are its ideas and concepts that naturally there are the occasional fissures in its logic. But that's okay. Ask your self; "Did I ever examine Ernest Scared Stupid this way?".
On a more mundane level it's also tense, thrilling and just plain entertaining with an epic score and visuals to match. 'Inception' is a wonder. Not to be missed.
