A True Accomplishment In Filmmaking!

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2010)

Each film Christopher Nolan makes just keeps on getting better and better, and Inception is indeed his current masterpiece, Christopher Nolan could not have made it any better.
Filled with mind-blowing effects and a captivating plot (although complex, the plot still keeps the viewer on the edge of their seats), Inception brings a whole new level to the genres of Mystery and Sci-Fi. The plot cannot be described, it's one of those films where you just have to go see it for yourself and revel in its originality: Inception has to be one of the best original ideas in cinematic history.
As for the acting, all the cast were fantastic! We see Leonardo DiCaprio star in the emotional role of 'Cobb' alongside Academy Award winning actress Marion Cotillard who plays 'Mal', Cobb's wife. Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Cillian Murphy also star, and they were all nothing less than brilliant. Ellen Page was her usual best and, we even see Michael Caine and Pete Postlethwaite in small but significant roles.
Wally Pfister (Christopher Nolan's right hand man) has yet again outshone himself with the exceptional and purely beautiful cinematography, which to me was probably one of the best features of the film.
Hans Zimmer composed an incredible score, marking his third collaboration with Christopher Nolan (following the two Batman films). The score was very electronic and Zimmer really did unleash his imagination in the best possible way. The main song in the film, Édith Piaf's "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" fits in with the theme of the film very well (Zimmer even put some elements of the song into his score).
Inception is a thoroughly enjoyable film in which the viewer will still be pondering / thinking about the events that have taken place long after the credits have rolled...
5 out of 5 (exceptional) and definitely on my top 10 list of films. A definite contender for the 83rd Academy Awards.
