I Give It a 10/10

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2010)

Inception is one of these mind-warping, complex action/sci-fi movies that end up becoming very popular, like the Matrix. Only this film was a little bit more successful when it came to the box office. Christopher Nolan's genius screen writing allowed him to create this film that wowed me and a lot of people around me in the theater. Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a some kind of dream weaver or "thief" who, with his partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) go into peoples dreams and acquire important information that is relevant to their mission. But this time, he's not taking, he's planting. Cobb realizes that if he can perform Inception, than it might be his ticket home. While he has his dead wife causing problems on his missions, he also has Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy) who he needs to plant a single idea within that persons sub- conscience to make it feel as if its was his own. I have heard some negative reviews, including one by Leonard Maltin. A critic I respect, but his review seemed to be focused on the fact of how complicated it is. Many other critics have said its to complex and hard to follow. Really, these are one of those movies where you really need to pay attention and you'll get it. I don't know what Leonard and other critics were doing, but I stayed focused and I got everything that was going on. This is probably one of the best movies of the year and will definitely be showing up at the Oscars. Go see it if you haven't. 10/10 Rated PG-13 148min
