Inception- Ridiculously, arrogantly brilliant. Chris Nolan is a freak..

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2010)

Inception by Chris Nolan is by far the best Sci-Fi movie one would have seen in their lifetime. To compare this movie with blockbusters of other genre would be a disgrace to this movie. Having said that how good a Sci-Fi movie it is ? Well even then Chris Nolan steals the show here. How ? Coz the only movie comparable to a Sci-Fi movie of Inception's caliber in Matrix. In both directors had the task explaining a whole new concept that they have visualized. And if this story-telling aspect(if u call it that way) Inception is way ahead. The entire first half was dedicated for this purpose so brilliantly that the script in the second half was absolutely free flowing- I even turned back to see the rest of the people. Not a lid battered. Not often you see a movie where people forget everything and went into the different levels of dreams portrayed in the movie themselves.
In the first half of course you hear murmurs of comparison of Inception, by the audience, to the bible of Sci-Fi movies- The Matrix is quite normal. But one has to admit that Inception has something different that Matrix didn't have. Chris Nolan took the duty of reaching it to the audience without too much VFX and SFX and thats were it scores over matrix. In short- Inception is your next door Sci-Fi. So simple yet so powerful.
Only part of the film which was too predictable was the opening scene which you almost get a feeling that the film will again finish with the same scene, so even when Saito is dead and goes to Limbo you are almost sure that Cobb and Saito are gonna meet again.
But in the climax again you are made a fool where you think its gonna be an all-ends-well story and Nolan keeps you guessing with a tantalizingly rotating totem.
Do you need to wait. Not for long . The sequel is well on its way. If Chris Nolan is reading this- "Man pls make a sequel"
