Mindblown.

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2010)

THIS MOVIE IS INCREDIBLE. Oh my goodness. I heard all my friends talking about it, so as soon as I got the chance, I went and saw it. I was obviously not disappointed.
It has such a weird plot, weird in a good way. It's interesting, original, genius. The whole time I was thinking, "Wow, what mastermind conceived this??" And when I saw it was Christopher Nolan, he moved up a lot on my list of favorite directors. What a smart guy. Anyway, the plot is so complex I don't even think I can give a one sentence summary. There were some points in the movie where I had no idea what was happening, but I attribute that to my sleep deprivation. You need to be pretty alert to catch this movie, you need to be smart. I was sitting in front of some people who did not fit this criteria and they were asking questions the whole time. Don't be like that. Don't be those people.
This is a movie where the beginning puzzles you completely. You have no idea who anyone is, what they're doing, why they're doing it, and then as the movie progresses, things just click in your head. I love that feeling, that 'ohhhhhhhhhhh!' feeling. It's satisfying.
It was visually stunning, one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. There's a large portion of the movie where the characters are in a place with no gravity, and it was awe-inspiring. It is definitely one of my favorite scenes of all time. The effects that were done digitally, the CGI, were great. I usually can't stand them because they look so obviously fake, but that's not how this movie was. The CGI was actually very beautiful. This movie also had slow motion, which I love. Not overdone, perfect.
The characters were great. There was nobody I hated or wished would die. Leonarda DiCaprio was excellent, as he was in Shutter Island. When I saw Ellen Page in the commercials, I thought that was peculiar casting, but I actually enjoyed her character and how she portrayed her. The cast was excellent.
Definitely, definitely, see this movie! Probably twice. You will not be disappointed. Buy it when you get the chance! Heads up, the ending will make you stop breathing, will make you clench your fists so tight that you have indentations in your flesh from your fingernails. Interpret it your own way. That's really all you can do.
