Inception: An Infectious Conception

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2010)

Two days ago, Christopher Nolan released his newest addition to his batting average. This is a man who started with Memento, allegedly raised funds for Batman Begins by touring and taking that movie on tour, cleansed his comic-palate with Prestige, swung hard again with The Dark Knight, and now brings us Inception. It doesn't take long to notice a heavy-hitter with that kind of consistency in making great movies, and so when a completely original idea roots into our minds – shared dreaming – I trust him with pruning and nurturing that idea to completion. This is the new Memento/Prestige.
If you haven't seen the movie, go see it at a theatre with dang good speakers. Few movies these days persuade me to spend the $14.50 – $18.00 it takes to get my wife and I out to the show. This one did. What follows is a low-shelf literary analysis of the entire flick, so I'm assuming if you continue to read, you have watched the movie in its entirety, and are okay with reading intimate details about the plot. I'm not responsible for spoiling the ending, so consider yourself warned!
