Christopher Nolan stuns us again with another one of his always original and different works of art. It was entertaining and well made, though not his best work i highly recommend it to anyone. The movie is based off of what I think is one of the most poetic and interesting concepts I've ever seen. That being said it's also one that could have gone in any direction, and while the direction Nolan took it was fantastic, there are countless possibilities that may have worked better. Once more DiCaprio steals the screen, so much so that it seems like he is the only character with too much development. But these are all small things I noticed, take from this film what you will. But do see it please, it is quite an excellent film.

This movie was highly anticipated especially after Christopher Nolan hit us with the Dark Knight. Inception reminded me much of The Matrix in it's cool and intriguing concept filled with action and excellent characters and storyline.

Despite this, many scenes were just not needed in the film since it was mainly just about one character. The other people's lives seemed to be distant and not really as deep as DiCaprio's role (which was astoundingly well done).

The animation and cinematography were very well executed but where the movie found it's strongest point was in the ending to the very intriguing story of Cobb(DiCaprio) and his past, family, and purpose. I don't think they could've cast this movie any better.

The parts that make you wonder are evident throughout and, upon watching again, it is very incomprehensible.

Inception was interesting, symbolic, believable, and, above all else, just plain cool. If you are a fan of action, drama, romance, or The Matrix, this is your movie.
