The Film Equivalent of Fine Dining
PostedAugust 29, 2010

from Los Angeles, CA
This film is one of the most stunningly brilliant, complex, and intense I have seen, ever. I'm not even sure what to compare it to. A lot of my friends chalk it up to a Matrix rip-off, but that is doing it such an injustice. I would put it more in line with The Usual Suspects, but without the final reveal scene where everything becomes clear. This is a movie with so much complexity that you almost need to see it twice to even begin to understand what is going on. Where most films these days are fast food, this is fine dining for your brain.
It's impossible to go into it without revealing too much, but the initial question at the end of the film is: "What was real, and what was imagined." However, the even better, and far more intriguing, question is: "Who was the Inception being performed on?"
You can argue over the details of gunfights and performances (I highly enjoyed the performances of the ensemble cast), but the complexity, depth, and subtlety of the story are in a class of their own. The intensity of some of the scenes, and of the movie as a whole, is amazing. You can enjoy this film strictly on the basic action/love story level, or you can dig deeper and get so much more. If you want a movie that will make you think, I could not recommend Inception more. If you're looking for something mindless and banal, look elsewhere.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
