A modern classic

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2019)

Inception could honestly be considered a modern classic. It is a shame that DiCaprio didn't get as much recognition as deserved for this movie because he really did do a fantastic job. The supporting cast is very, very strong as well, this includes Molly which as a character makes the movie even more engaging. The premise is super unique and makes for an extremely interesting and different action movie experience. As a movie, it plays out similar to a heist film but with no actual heist and a much more complex plot.. Thanks to the dreaming concept, there are some points of special effects that are actually done really well and look/fit perfectly. This also applies to the well-timed speed changes, going from regular speed to slow-motion without feeling at all out of place. It is paced well and hits every beat that it tries to hit. Even if you don't particularly like the idea or genre of the film itself, I feel that it is a movie that everyone should see at some point as a representation of well-made film that takes advantage of modern effects without using them overwhelmingly.
