More than anything what stood out to me about this film was the quality job done in the editing lab. Right from the outset one can tell that this film is anything but simple. The editing of the multiple story lines flows through the film with utter fluidity. The actors of this stellar cast complement each other throughout the film. The special effects are elegant and not overused. One thing about Nolan's films is that he only uses special effects when he absolutely needs to, which is admirable in an age when so often special effects overshadow actor's performances and story. The story can be confusing due to multiple storylines that are cyclical throughout the film, but if you simply pay attention and listen clearly, by the time the 2-1/2 hour film comes to its grand conclusion, there will be little left to answer. Inception is a quality blend of blockbuster appeal, and Unique filmmaking auteurism. The editing of this film should be a sure fire Oscar contender. This is Nolan's best film so far.
