Nolan and DiCaprio collide with an explosion of genius and brilliant film-making

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2010)

There are so many things that are right about this film, it's hard to depict which is wrong to give note. As much as I like to focus on the metaphorical aspect of movies or the brilliant acting performances; the effects in this movie were jaw dropping. Joseph Gordon Levitt gave a phenomenal performance (500 Days was good, but this could be the best of his career.) And to highlight the direction of this movie, Christopher Nolan proved once again that he is capable of nothing but brilliance behind the camera.
As someone who has a large "man-crush" on Leo, I still try to be a bit skeptical about his films that I have yet to see, out of respect. But once again, Leo leaped and bounded his way to another stellar performance, his character once again made me feel like (as he always does) that it was fit, almost exacted for his persona, and his skills alike. I try my best never to spoil, only to hype and influence a visit worthy of the movies reviewed, which this movie certainly falls into the category of. Films can always be reinterpreted or seen differently out of theatres, and this is one that deserves your ticket price, an absolute must-see in theatres.
The combination of Nolan, DiCaprio, Levitt, and even Ellen Page who broke through with an outstanding performance, this movie captivates that which we all wish to understand-dreams. Whether it is a dream you can't forget or a dream you can remember, this film will explore the depths of human capability, and more importantly, human emotion. If you can have the ability to dream, then you can have the ability to thoroughly enjoy and thoroughly understand the depths of this movie, which are nothing but spectacular. I HIGHLY recommend
