The thinking man's Matrix
PostedJuly 24, 2010

I have not seen a movie since the first Matrix that was of any intellectual challenge whatsoever, and it was refreshing and inspiring to be gradually seduced into some degree of critical thought as the complexity of the "Inception" increased. Granted, the acting wasn't the best (Cmon, its LeoDi), the character development was a bit lacking, and the dialog could have used a little more snap, but once you dismiss those standard shortcomings, it is a movie that does what a movie is supposed to do - it pulls you completely in. I found, for the first time in a long time, that as it ended, I had become emotionally vested in the resolution of the plot hooks, and I had been 100% immersed in what was going on in the screen for the past couple of hours - which is very unusual for me. I usually get bored with movies and start checking my watch and wondering how much longer its going to go on. I didn't know or care what time it was, where I was, or how I got there (just kidding) as I watched that top spin at the end. Seriously though, it was an intriguing, entertaining, challenging, step outside your "bone box" kind of movie, and I highly recommend it over any of the other "action" movies that have come and gone over the past few years. Rock on Nolan!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
