What is the Most Resilient Parasite?

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2010)

I want this to be a very accurate and very constructive review of Inception, because it seems like people are either overly bashing it or overrating it out there and I don't think that's right. Personally, I wouldn't listen to any critic (not even me) when it comes to Inception because whether or not you like this movie depends completely on you. If you're looking for deep and complex characters, I don't know if Inception is for you. If you're searching for an action film full of explosions and exciting car chases, I'm still not sure if Inception is the right movie for you. But I could be wrong.
Inception cannot really be explained in words without giving much away because of the story's complexity but I will tell you this.. Don't go into Inception totally blind. Know that you're about to watch a confusing movie that will make you think. You should also know certain aspects of the plot. For those aspects, I'd go to the synopsis located at the bottom of this review because it is the best description you will find on the internet. Okay, now that I got that over with, here's what I think about Inception: It is a truly mind blowing experience. Some scenes in this movie will leave you with your jaw dropped. I can assure you that some of the stuff that you will see in Inception is like nothing you've ever seen before. With that being said, it doesn't save Inception from falling short of a fantastic movie. This isn't a mindless action flick, but there is little emotion in some characters. When it comes to the main character, Cobb, you do have a lot of emotion and his character does have some depth. But when it comes to other characters like Ellen Page's Ariadne, you'll get almost no emotion at all. Some characters are only present in Inception to provide exposition or do something to allow the story to move forward. Because of that, it's hard to praise Inception as a masterpiece.
I should let you know though, just because the emotion isn't really there, every actor did the best they could with their role in the film. The other performances are a bit overshadowed by Leonardo DiCaprio's, which was no doubt his best performance to date, but they were still great. And because I'm on that subject, I should add that Watanabee and Hardy have very strong accents in this movie, that are a little hard to understand at times.
Exspeaking of accents, Christopher Nolan's directing was top notch. (Don't ask why accents have anything to do with Nolan's directing because I don't know either, I just needed a way to get on the subject.) Nolan has improved drastically since The Dark Knight in terms of directing action sequences. They are no longer choppy, they flow very well and are some of the best I've ever seen. (I mean that.) And Zimmer is there to help out, with an incredible score that I believe is one of his best. I believe that this is Nolan's second best movie in terms of directing, just behind Memento which was masterfully put together.
To sum everything up, Inception is fantastic when it comes to action and suspense but falls a bit short with emotion, but it's made up for by great acting and the depth of Cobb's character. (which is really the only character that matters...) However, because of this, Inception is far from a masterpiece. I'm going to reward Inception with four stars (ten on IMDb) because I believe it is the best films of the year so far, and is one of my personal favorites.
