A Real "Inception"

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2014)

It takes a highly creative mind to consistently keep thinking out- of-the-box. It takes a compelling story-teller to make you comprehend those thoughts. And it takes a lot of hard-work, dedication and perseverance to convert that story to reel. Put it all together and you have a gist of what went into creating "Inception". And the results speak for themselves!
A seamless, "many-layered" film, "Inception" is on one hand a dazzling extravaganza of Science and Technology and on the other, an emotional drama, with the internal conflicts of the lead characters threading through the scenes and binding the entire plot together.
This film is no exception to Nolan's unique ability of non-linear story-telling, and it takes a little getting used to. However, once you have an idea of what's going on, you cannot help but marvel at the grandeur and brilliance of it all.
Leonardo DiCaprio excelled as the highly-talented but incapacitated mastermind of the group. Ellen Page was right up to the mark playing the young, fresh and at times irritatingly inquisitive "newbie" of the group. Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's on-screen chemistry was fun to watch. Marion Cotillard and Cilian Murphy had more or less one-dimensional roles to play and they played them okay.
Overall, "Inception" is definitely worth watching, and then watching again, and again. It will make you ponder deeper about the realms of the human mind in all senses of the phrase. True to its name, this is a real "inception" of Nolan's and has the power to change the way we think.
