Review of Inception (2010) by John A — 27 Jan 2018

5/5. Quite simply one of my favourite films ever made. I've watched it so many times, and each time I see it I see something new. If you have only seen it once and you somehow didn't like it, then go see it again as you may see it in a totally different way. For essentially an action blockbuster, the plot is so complex and yet holds together better than films with more basic premises. Chris Nolan's personal and totally original masterpiece makes you think and gasp all the way through. In a world where invading and sharing dreams is possible, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Joesph Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy dive deeper and deeper into Cillian Murphy' military trained subconscious in order to implant an idea. The set pieces are spell bounding and outstanding. For a film that hits the two and a half hour mark, it absolutely speeds over like freight train. Special shout out to Hans Zimmer's score which expertly integrates the fabulous Edith Paif's 'Non, je ne regrette rien'- slowing it down to create the iconic Inception BAAAAHHHMMMS, which every movie trailer now seems to.

Have borrowed. Whenever this is on the TV or re-shown at a cinema near you, you simply must watch this.
