I traditionally eschew the action-adventure genre in favor of drama, preferring intelligent plot lines, snappy dialogue and good acting over video-game graphics. That said, I found this movie was not just visually titillating but also extremely imaginative in its story line. DeCaprio's understated performance suggests he's much better when separated from Scorcese. The balance of the cast was also convincing, and Nolan does not allow any character, even our protagonist, to overshadow the story, which is fascinating. I also agree with the earlier review regarding the captivating soundtrack. I saw the film on IMAX, and highly recommend this venue.
