Best piece of 2010 thus far... not that it was hard....

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2010)

Honestly coming into Inception I didn't have a clue what it was about, but I knew it had to be good with Christopher Nolan directing and Leonardo DiCaprio starring (funnily enough I didn't care for him until I watched Shutter Island). Despite my assumption being based almost entirely on names the film did not disappoint! Inception is the definition of summer movie and Nolan created an intelligent film with an actual plot behind the orgy of special effects fuelled explosions (which there was plenty of). The storyline is very matrix-esquire and Nolan manages to weave a story with dreams within dreams and the whole concept of implanting an idea seamlessly. Although aside from DiCaprio's character many had no real personality, but the performance is mostly on DiCaprio in the end and he manages to succeed in creating a character still lost in his dreams pining over his love. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you should definitely see it because its a wonderful blend of action adventure, science fiction themes, plot (!), and explosions.
