This is probably the best blockbuster (i.e. not an independent film) to come out in the last ten years. It has everything: an exciting and fastpaced plot (with a storyline that actually holds together), great acting, mindblowing special effects, great music and settings. I saw it twice in one weekend--the plot is just tough enough to "get it" on the first see-through, but I really appreciated how solidly put together the plot was upon seeing it the second time. Hopefully this is a wake-up call to the rest of the big production companies that it is possible to make an intellectual action-thriller that grown ups want to see. I would spend a lot more time (and money) at the theater if I got to see more films like Inception!
