Mesmerizing!!!

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2010)

Although considered a more complicated Matrix, this film has a lot more to hand us than it, such as a plot 10x more complicating from the beginning, and getting more and more complicating, tremendous performances by DiCaprio, Levitt, and Page, and excellent effects.
This movie goes quite further into the story than most films, dealing with peoples dreams, subconscious's, and emotions. Only someone like Nolan would create something like this, especially after the movie Memento, and the Dark Knight. Of course quite lengthy, it still manages to go through with the story as planned without getting things in the way. Right at the beginning, I was immediately confused, but as the movie goes through, things get explained and leave you positive.
Leo DiCaprio plays an experienced thief named Cob, who lives in a world where the technology to go into people's dreams exist. He, along with six other people use the device known as Inception to enter the dreams of each other to gain intelligence to save their world. Going deeper and deeper and deeper, their always on their toes to make it out alive.
Like I said, the movie is quite confusing, since it starts off the plot soon. There's a lot more to go into, of course, such as the conditions required. The characters are all likable, it was tough to choose which one I like the most. You would think I like DiCaprio, but I honestly like Levitt's character the best. Not just because he's pretty awesome in that film, but also because he's Roger from Angels in the Outfield.
From beginning to end, your always on edge, trying to learn and get everything. It will defiantly be hard to keep up with the plot, but it will all be solved soon. Its a movie you really need to see twice. The first time, to understand the concept, and the second time to just enjoy the film. I appreciated the editing job they put into this, by making it so dramatic and intense, helped out by Hans Zimmer's music score.
Although long, it kinda has to be to fit the quality of the moments. It really doesn't have any pointless scenes. Every scene just about contributes to the plot in anyway. But don't get me wrong, it still manages to keep its cool on the ground level, but even for a well edited film, it still takes awhile. The plot starts off well, but the movie itself takes awhile, and by that I mean the time.
One of Nolan's greatest films by far and one of the best blockbusters of this summer!
