A perfect water-cooler conversation starter

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2010)

I am stingy when it comes to awarding 10 points for a movie, but in this case I have no choice. Have seen quite a bit of movies over the last 2 years, but none of them ever incited me to discuss it with my friends, or even if they did, not the way inception is doing now.
People rave about avatar, but other than the fancy graphics the storyline was very bland. None of that's going to happen with inception. From the start right till the end, it will keep you wondering as to what might come next. Makes you think as well. You don't have to be super smart to understand the movie. An average person will surely absorb it pretty decently.
Leo has been amazing as always. He's a brilliant actor, probably the best currently. Nolan and leo both deserve Oscars for what they have achieved here. Levitt has been damn good. The last I saw of him was in 500 days of summer. Was pleasantly surprised to see him in a mature role. Not sure about Ellen Page. Nothing in her role made me say "wow, she's damn good". She was okay. Ken Watanabe was decent. Tom Hardy was good. I liked the way he portrayed being a more serious/jovial kind of person as opposed to how Levitt is, especially all.
I am damn happy for watching the first-day-first-show for this movie. Planning to go down and watch it again tomorrow. Worth every extra penny i am spending on it :)
