One of the best mind-benders in recent memory. "Inception" is that rare film that blends explosive action and eye-popping visuals with a well thought out story.
As a J.J. Abrams production, I figured this 'reboot' of the "Star Trek" franchise would be long on flash and short on brains and it pretty much lived up to those expectations. As flimsy as the story is, the movie moves at a breakneck pace, so you don't really notice it. But it must be said that the whole enterprise (pun intended) is held together by the excellent interplay between the cast members. They all seem to be comfortable with each other and with their characters and convincingly convey their potential as a cohesive crew. In the end, perhaps the film's greatest achievement is setting up a solid stage for the inevitable sequels.
