Now This Is Reality..

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2010)

Now This Is Reality.. After I saw the Cruise-Diaz duo's unfortunately unimpressive Knight and Day, I was disappointed. Really, I mean its Tom Cruise, a careful actor who picks his roles with care, something went wrong for him this time I guess; and to speak the truth, the film didn't turn out to be the expected 'action-comedy'. But then came out the 'multi-level' dream project of Chris Nolan. A completely different genre and, of course, everyone was indeed looking forward to it. I read that he took around 8 years to formulate this masterpiece. 'The Idea', that's right the concept , was brilliantly structured, incorporating logic and humanly experiences and though it was a bit complex, its presentation was marvelous. Warner Bros. must have been delighted to get back almost half of their budget in the opening week itself.
Now talking about the movie, there are thoughts. Not much different from the usual Sci-Fi flicks, you know, dealing with the mind and future and stuffs like that. But Nolan's version was a bit more complicated. I'm not saying that that made the film bad, but that's what made it look different from the rest in its genre. DiCaprio, with his style, has easily gelled into his character, Cobb. Not just him, but everyone else in the film have done their parts really well. The cinematography, not to mention, has always been outstanding in all Nolan films. The Audio- Visual effects are not sky-high but they are good enough. The storyline is quite interesting. As I said before it's the concept that's a bit complicated and not the story. So you need to have a tight grip on it, or else you might end up in a dream of your own. Now, I don't wish to give a full synopsis of the Inception right here...Coz it'll ruin your experience. My verdict...it's worth watching the movie in the cinema and it's a 'must watch'. And after you've watched and if you're not saying you were amazed by this movie, then give yourself 'the kick'. I'd give it a score somewhere around 8.5-9. Surely it could be awarded with the title of the best Sci-Fi until now, and it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
