"Inception," at its most basic, is two things. It is a heist film dressed in science fiction conventions; and it is a study of a man trying to free himself from a near-suffocating past. "Inception," at its more complex, is a cerebral pop-masterpiece. It is an enthralling combination of thought-provoking, layered story-telling and sumptuous aesthetics enhanced by near-flawless editing, sound design, effects, and musical score. Driven by a pitch-perfect cast and the confident directorial hand of Christopher Nolan, "Inception" is a brilliant and unrivaled piece of filmmaking.

watching this at a low volume has many (two) benefits a.) you can test to see if you really do know every line and b.) you don’t have to hear BWWOOOOMM BWWWOOOMMMMM every three seconds like hans we get it the movie is suspenseful please stop leaning on your keyboard

“the dream has become their reality. who are you to say otherwise?”

cillian murphy: no dad i'm giving up on YOUR dream!

Nolan has this bad habit of telling some concepts in a very didactic way. He uses Page's character, who is ignorant about the concept, to tell the audience how it works. It's a sacrifice he has to make, since the film needs a lot of time. If he stopped to explain in a more intelligent way, the film would last about 3 hours. It was a sacrifice, but it is still difficult to swallow those parts.

But other than that, the film works very well for all the other parts. My favorite part is the projection of Mal, interfering with dreams, disrupting the plan. It reminded me of Silent Hill 2, where projection ends up being a burden.

So yes, a great movie. Nolan used the things he knows how to do best, along with a very interesting concept, and a well-dosed drama that I liked.

apenas: 🤯

Didn’t realise I had never reviewed this. It’s an excellent Sci Fi action movie. An excellent example of Nolan’s mastery of the craft. No major complaints.

I couldn't watch this it was waaaaaay to fucking boring

I loved this movie so much. It is so clever in the way it was executed and written. Also the freaking ENDING 😤

interesting concept, but the story is so bad and there is too much action going on all the time; i couldn’t even finished it. this is a movie for the 30 years old guys who likes guns and tarantino.

Can't believe its been ten years, but this still hits like the first time in the theater.

I said, I can do homework or I can watch inception and stay up too late even though I have an 8 am. I made the right decision
