Inception - Christopher Nolan - 2010



Inception was a film that I knew very little about when I went to see it opening day. It was a film whose marketing campaign was designed to keep you interested visually without revealing anything major about the plot. Personally I remember being a little mad that Christopher Nolan was following The Dark Knight with a new original film. However after seeing Inception the first time in theaters I quickly forgave him.

Inception was both original and somewhat formulaic. It was somewhat formulaic in the structure which was built around the heist man doing one last job, what was original was both it's setting (the mind of a dreamer) and it's execution.

The casting of the film was great and included both household names (Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Caine) and some talented little known actors (Tom Hardy).

Inception is an entertaining and multilayered action film that is easy to follow thanks to the simple goal of the protagonist (to see his kids again). It is a fun ride with an ending so memorable that you will forget all the small errors in it.
