Review of Inception

  The fascinating aspect of dreams is not restricted to research and the internet. The mysterious idea of dreams has captivated the masses through cinema. The movie opened in theatres in July of 2010 and grossed over $60,000,000 in the first week. Inception was a long movie. There, I said it. That being said, it didn't leave a lasting impression on me, but it certainly was an enjoyable two and a half hours. Christopher Nolan (writer and director) certainly new how to take the mind for a trip to Mars and back. Sometimes the plot seemed to make me think a little too much actually. Personally, I like movies that are simplistic, yet satisfying. With the combinations of the futuristic technology that they used, and the different stages of dreams, and all the twists and turns I admittedly got legitimately confused a few times. However, that's not to say that many, many, other people like that mind challenge. About 86% of critics liked it, and 93% of audiences liked it. So the twists and turns and brain challenges obviously wasn't a big deal for most people. Some critics described the movie as "thrilling", "smart", and "captivating." I truly believe that Christopher Nolan couldn't have picked a better lead actor for the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio brought some of the twitchy melancholy over from his most recent work before "Inception"("Shutter Island"). Also, a personal favorite of supporting actor of mine had to be Tom Hardy; he certainly knows how to embrace a role. Inception was a journey into the subconscious and Christopher Nolan showed that he is a tactician in making the brain think twice before it makes a decision. Overall, a movie that I enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed and would watch again. I think this movie brings many options to the table for future movie directors and producers. People are intrigued by dreams, and right now are hungry for another mind-bending movie based on the subconscious act of dreaming.
