Review: Inception

Baffling. Mind-bending. Complex.

These three words pretty much sum up the experience of watching Inception.

Without giving anything away, let me just say that as you're watching this film, you'll be saying to yourself, "What the...?" only to be answered sometime later in the film.

The main cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy and Tom Berenger are all outstanding in their respective roles. Christopher Nolan directs this seemingly impossible-to-make film with precision. His working with DiCaprio helped to eliminate the usual 'that's just Leo doing his usual acting;' instead replaced by an older, better Leonardo on the screen.

My praise to the script supervisor and the editors for maintaining the look, feel and movement of such a complicated production.

While not a great movie, it is good. The story will keep you in your seat, while the special effects will have you gasping at the complexity involved. I heard a LOT of 'Wows!' in the theater throughout the film.

I don't really know what else to say. This movie has to be viewed at least once. After that, it will chew on your mind, and drive you crazy thinking about it. There's definitely something to be said for an average film if it does that to the viewers who have witnessed Inception.

I may or may not see Inception again. I have to think about it more.
