Nolan at his very best...

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2015)

I am not a massive film buff but have to put this down as one of the most immersive films I have ever seen. Fantastic and compelling plot that engrosses you from the opening scene backed up by some great acting including an immaculate performance from Di Caprio, surely one of the great actors of our generation and a very well cast Tom Hardy. Incredible attention to detail is shown in what is a very hard concept to translate into a movie. Shot with real impact and some of the slow motion that is used to depict the passing of time in different 'layers' of dreams is very clever and cool to watch. I would recommend watching in full HD on the best display you can find if you can't see it on a big screen. The ending of the film may leave you a little frustrated but like everything else in the movie it's largely left open to interpretation. You'll need to go into this one with an open mind and be comfortable indulging in some fantasy.
There are very few films out there that totally wash over you and genuinely take you to a different place - this is one of them. There are less than handful of films that I would describe as perfection, this one makes the cut with ease.
An absolute must see for any Nolan fan and for those that aren't - what's wrong with you!?
