Mind-Bending

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2010)

Think Vanilla Sky meets Matrix meets The 13th Floor meets Shutter Island and you have Inception. The cast is fantastic and Nolan does a good job weaving the story into a complex tapestry. Page and Cottilard are counter-balances to the struggles of DiCaprio's character. Leonardo is brilliant in picking movies in which to act in. The concept of creating a dream world is great, though not original (what is nowadays). A dream within a dream within a dream, with adjusted time within each is a interesting slant of the concept. The movie started off a little slow, but once into the plot, it took off like a rocket. Without giving away the ending; it is the appropriate way to end this story. Though I was beginning to see it happen before it ended. What is real?
