So I went to the movies tonight and saw Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Caine, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cottilard, Tom Hardy, Tom Berenger and Lukas Haas. Now, as this is my first movie review, you should be a little worried at this point. It was either really good or really bad. Well, worry no longer, the movie was AWESOME. I don’t give many movies 4 stars, but this one is top notch in my book. This is one of those movies where when it is over, and the lights come on at the theater, and you just sit there wondering what the hell just happened. I mean seriously it really blows your mind away.
The story is about a man named Dom Cobb (Leonardo) who is known as an Extractor. He goes into people’s dreams, and steals their corporate secrets. Now, he is hunted by the law, and is constantly on the run. If you can steal something, why not be able to plant something as well? That is the basics for the plot, is he must go into somebody’s mind and try the reverse. If he succeeds, he will be granted immunity and all charges against him dropped so he can go and see his children again. Sounds easy enough, but from the moment they enter the dream, things start to go wrong, and they are fighting the clock. The suspense is non stop from that moment on until the very end of the movie.
The special effects are amazing. One of the best done so far that I have seen. Spectacular scenes of whole cities created and destroyed including shuffling staircases, and bending and twisting bridges.
My only disappointment of the entire film, is that it was cut short by about 10 minutes. It seems that the authors, were pressed for time and just abruptly cut out like 10 minutes of the final scenes. I don’t know if this was actually the case, it just seems that there is a few scenes missing. It doesn’t detract from the ending however, it could have been just extended a little bit. Even thought the run time is 2 hours 22 minutes (142 minutes) it doesn’t seem like the movie was that long. The action scenes are so fast paced that the time flies by.
So to sum up, 4 stars (****) from me.
All I can say is that Inception is insanely brilliant! Christopher continues to out do himself, time and time again! I was a little skeptical going into the movie, I love Leo and Nolan, their movies are always good. The whole idea sounded a bit out there. But then you see it and it is like wow, that worked better than you could ever imagine. It really is mind blowing! 10 stars!
All that stated, it happens to be in fact refreshing to view a video not based on a comic book, not depending on an aged television reveal, and not only a remake that never needed that should be created with the 1st position. This is certainly it, folks, the an individual blockbuster this summer that are going to be really worth the funds you set down for it.
This storyline and idea that Nolan continues to be operating on considering that he was a teenager is executed beautifully. It’s an Authentic idea that is NOT based away of a book, comic, or older motion picture. I ensure you will have to check out it twice to totally understand this wonderful, 2.5 hour movie flick expertise. I will without a doubt be seeing it once again. You may perhaps feel dropped at details during the tv show, but stay with it. Inception is very a thought-provoker.
This is really an insignificant scene in the movie (and not really worth arguing about) – I’m sure Chris Nolan just put it in there for fun. You’re entitled to your opinion of what it meant but I’m pretty sure Chris Nolan was trying to show amusement on her part and smug self satisfaction on his part after the kiss. I’ve only seen the movie twice but that’s what both my wife and myself saw the second time when we were really watching that scene closely.
I think I’m gonna go and watch Inception one more time. I really loved it!!!!
