I recently saw Inception, which turned out to be one of, if not the best thriller(s) I’ve seen so far.
The plot of Inception revolves around a group of experts in the field of going into people’s dreams and extracting information. They are assigned to enter a late business owner’s heir’s dream and convince him to break up his empire. I can’t speak for everybody, but for me, the best part of this film was that it was so complex. In order to understand it, you need to listen to everything and keep your mind everywhere at once. This could lead to watching the film again, just to understand certain parts. I predict a best-selling DVD…
Not much of this film really tries to surprise the audience, as this isn’t a Hitchcock film. There is quite a lot of violence, and some mild blood, but nothing too gory. (James Bond-ish) There is also a little swearing, but still, they’re just mild exclamations.
One personal debate for me is whether or not this should have been 3D. All of the effects would make for a pretty good experience, but 3D has a way of messing with the mind… One may not be able to concentrate on understanding the situations.
Age Recommendation: Any tween can see this film, so long as they are mature enough to focus on and (try to) understand it.
Final Verdict: Definitely worth seeing. 9/10
The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Wananabe and Marion Cotillard. It was written and directed by Christopher Nolan – director of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Check out the pictures from the Hollywood premiere.
