Movie Review: Inception


Christopher Nolan’s Inception blew me away! This is his latest film since the Dark Knight. It goes to show his film making integrity has wavered unshaken, despite having one of the highest grossing films of all time under his belt. In other words, I’m glad he didn’t take the M Night Shyamalan route.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film from beginning to end. What I liked about this movie was that dreams were brought into reality, as if they were tangible objects you could see, touch and smell. It then asks you the question, what is the definition of reality, and does it make a difference if one or the other makes you happy?

Nolan's famous for being able to layer character development, and there is no exception with Inception. An original story, that he wrote and directed, I was kept on the edge of my seat at every turn. In addition, the visual effects were top notch in it's own subtle matter. Another signature film style of Nolan was to keep special effects as organic as possible. If there was an opportunity to forgo CGI, Nolan did, and it paid off very well in this film. Combined with a perfect cast to deliver, you’ll be wanting more up to the very end.
