My Re-Review of Inception: It's Chris Nolan's Best Film; And My All-Time Favourite!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2018)

Inception is what cinema wants the audience to feel and more: a dream that ceases to be fake on every conceivable level. It's a meta-film that comes full circle with its implications as to what the audience can take away from a truly impactful movie, whether all the story was a dream or not, whether most of it actually happens until a certain point, or whether the story has no 'right' way to interpret it.
The story is relatively simple for Cobb: he's a man trying his best to clear his name and return to his family in America, and he needs to plant an idea into the mind of a media mogul's son about to inherit his father's empire. The rest is something else entirely; Cobb is a master 'dream-thief' who has inner demons of his own and he keeps these demons at bay even if it means risking the mission at hand.
Inception is a blockbuster that has the makings of an art film populating an action-adventure story, and making the absolute best of the scenes Nolan's given. This film has classic moment after classic moment; the dream-elevator, the rotating hallway scene, the car-chase, the snow fortress and Limbo make for some of the film's many golden moments. The set pieces are amazing, the direction is flawless and the imagery does evoke the sensation of dreaming. Nolan makes his films have a beating heart to them and Inception is full of it through and through.
Inception is the kind of reason that I can say is the reason I love movies. From its ambitious story to intricately done characters and set-pieces add up to one of the most well-made films to ever grace the planet. This is Nolan at his very best; and more!
Inception gets 5/5 gold-stars.
