Damn, Nolan. You have yet to disappoint me.Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a thief who is an expert in stealing secrets from a person's subconscious. The job has put a strain on his personal life, but his final job -- where he plants an idea rather than steal it -- may be a redeeming moment.
I got two words to describe Inception: HOLY SHIT. This blew me away. Everything works together perfectly: the acting, the story, the visual effects, the music, EVERYTHING. This beat my expectations by a mile. And the fact I saw it in IMAX (which nearly made my head explode from the sheer epicness) made it more astonishing. The originality of the story saves us from a summer of sequels, remakes and just downright bad movies. And yes, I'm aware a majority of this review makes me sound like a fangirl.
My Rating: *****
Indeed a very good summer blockbuster. I will see it a second time in a week or two to see if it holds up to multiple viewing, a staple of most Nolan movie.
ReplyDeletedefinitely an awesome movie! the effects were off the hook and i need to see this again!
ReplyDeleteI was suitably blown away myself. Part of me wonders if I missed out on the communal experience of this big release by seeing it in a half-empty theatre.

Thought it was excellent as well.
