Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2010)

Christopher Nolan is back again, this time with Leonardo DiCaprio. It always spark when two talented stars meet. The astonishing director who presented some masterpieces such as Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight etc. has astonished us again with this new age sci-fiction thriller Inception. Nolan always commit himself on a different kind of film-making technique, from his own views and angles, ultimately gets successful to attract all type of audiences.
Inception has been promoted with tag-lines of "James Bond meets The Matrix", or Nolan himself termed it as "Ocean's Eleven meets The Matrix". Definitely the movie has both the touches of James Bond series, and somewhat with Ocean's series, mostly in the introduction part. Which is why some scenes deeply remind of the Ocean's series. Nolan used this perfect idea for marketing the movie. But actually, as the story moves forward it stats to gain it's originality and unique concepts.
What make Inception so unique is it's storytelling techniques, though sometime confusing, with many twists and turns, mix of several special effects and it's thrilling background score. Background score keeps the viewers constantly stare at the screen, and to the edge of the seat. Many disasters and action scenes were represented perfectly with rich graphical interfaces. Locations and aesthetic environments in several parts of the story with twists also need appreciation.
Not everybody will understand the main concept of Inception unless they curiously focus and concentrate on the happenings. What you can never miss in Inception are it's rich graphical effects and serious roles of all the actors. They all deserve adequate attention.
Nolan is perfect in his casting as always, and Caprio fits the bill as the protagonist of Inception. Caprio understands well which role suits him, and selects the movie accordingly. His facial expressions and body languages with the character and the story are simply amazing, and always to the peak. He has returned to the audiences who can remember him forever. Joseph Gordon-Levitt too has a meaty role which justifies the main story and cannot be ignored. He is nonetheless than Caprio in terms of performance. But unlike in Nolan's Batman series, Michael Caine is limited to offer here for very short duration, but still in prominence. No idea why his role was not expanded so that we could watch more of his versatile performance.
With Inception, Nolan proved that he has his own ways of creating a story, then forming it into a smooth directorial venture. Finally bringing out the finished movie product to the audiences. He can also enter inside their psychological state and win their applause and rewards. After Memento, Inception would certainly remain as a landmark in Hollywood as an all time psychological and sci-fiction thriller.
