Finally a big budget movie you have to think your way through.

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2010)

Having seen the trailers for the past several weeks I was planning to see it but I was certainly not excited about it. The next 2 1/2 hours flew by with a movie that entertained like a big budget movie and challenged the mind like a small "indie" flick. As I tried to figure out exactly what happened (which of course will be my opinion since this is the kind of movie that will be open to hundreds of interpretations) I realized I needed to give it another look so I went back the next day and watched it again. I noticed a few slight "flaws" the second time through but these were small details that can be rationalized depending on your point of view as to what the movie really was about. Is this a all a dream? Is it real and everything went as planned? Are portions real and the end a dream? There will be countless debate on this and we know Mr. Nolan will never tell. What I do know after this and the sensational "Dark Knight" I am now in the "Christopher Nolan is far and away the most creative person in the film industry" camp. I strongly recommend to everyone - go see this and form your own conclusions - this movie does not preach, but just entertains and challenges. The best movie in years - nothing has been close!
