Review of Inception (2010) by Xenne P — 29 Jun 2017
Confusing in the best way possible - yes, I complimented its confusion including the film's own ambiguous ending -, Inception remains every bit as entertaining as Christopher Nolan fans have come to expect.
Like Batman Begins, there's not much CGI here. THAT'S NOT HOW MODERN SCI-FI MOVIES WORK, NOLAN, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT TONS OF CGI EVERY TIME THERE'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR IT. Although, to be fair, the practical effects are pretty good.
The zero-gravity dream which Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a big part of is breathtaking since we also get some fun shots out of the bargain. The action sequences are as well choreographed as the ones present within The Dark Knight Trilogy and Leonardo DiCaprio delivers an effective performance.
In fact, the main villain in the film is...himself. Well, his subconscious anyway since his wife Marion Cotilliard won't leave him alone continously messing up their plan to plant an idea in Cillian Murphy's head.
I kinda accepted its complexity since before the actual story begins, the dreams are revealed as surprises. What do we call Inception, then? A sci-fi flick that manages to tease your brain and boast enough thrills, intelligence and action for your eyes to feast upon at the same time.
