Now it's easy to say that Christopher Nolan is officially my favorite director.He has directed my favorite super-hero film The Dark Knight.And he has made probably my favorite film of all time Memento.Memento was released in 2000 that was 10 years ago.This time with INCEPTION he once again starts the Decade out with A BANG!
Now im BRIEFLY going to tell you the plot to this miraculous film.Cobb(Leo Dicaprio)is an expert in going into people's sub conscious stealing their ideas.But he is fed up with it and wants to go home to his kids who he cant see anymore because he is accused of a crime he didnt commit.But Saito(Ken Wantabe)gives him one last job in exchange for him seeing his kids again.Saito wants Cobb and his team(Tom Hardy,Joseph Gordon Levitt,Dileep Rao,and Ellen Page)to go in to the sub conscious of the son of the late Maruice Fischer(Pete Pothseltewaite),Robert(Cillian Murphy) Who will take over his father's cooperation.Saito wants them to perform Inception which put it simply is to go into somebody's sub conscious and plant an idea in their mind and when that person wakes they'll think that it was their idea.
The plot to this film sounds complex but luckilly this is a Christopher Nolan film.He takes the most difficult idea and makes it so simple for the audience to understand.Now the visuals in this film are ama-za-zing!The visual style of the film is accross between Nolan's own The Dark Knight and Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.Also,the tension is so palpable it makes the tension in the A Nightmare On Elm Street tension look like it has the same amount of tension in Marmaduke!To help that tension be so palpable is composer Hans Zimmer(The Dark Knight,Black Hawk Down),who did the musical score.The direction by Nolan should definitley earn him an oscar.The pacing in this film is so fast and furious it was like i was in a lambrogini.
Now im not going to spoil anything but the ending was so good it kept everybody wanting more and screaming"What In The Name Of Cheese Fries Is This?"!But nontheless great ending!
For the acting,Dicaprio gave his 4th best performance behind this year's Shutter Island,Catch Me If You Can,and The Departed.Even though Gordon Levitt didnt get that much dialougue, when he did you knew that he deseverved to play Arthur.Tom Hardy was funny and debonair.Wantabe was surprisingly great.Micheal Caine was in a 2 scene cameo so i cant say much about him.Murphy gave the most surprising performance in this film.Ellen Page gave the best performance in this film and should earn her an oscar.And Marion Cotillard played the mysterious and mallicious dead wife of Cobb nailing every nuance of intimidation.
Now If Your a Die Hard Nolan fan like myself then you should just see this film right away.If your not a fan go back to your precious Transformers.
10/10
