Inception



Inception is well on its way to being the most talked about film of the summer. It doesn't really matter if you've seen it and were completely lost, or you haven't and you detest when movies receive so much hype and critical acclaim so early after their release, but it's difficult to deny my earlier statement because the movie has certainly been a major talking point over the last week and a half.

It's already garnering a bit of Oscar attention, and some are anointing Christopher Nolan, the movie's director, as the next "big thing" and potential candidate for Oscar's best director next March.

The performances were very much on point with DiCaprio leading a cast including Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Tom Berenger, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, and Cillian Murphy. But, it was arguably the plot and imagined world that Nolan created, that so satisfyingly and enigmatically immersed millions in that has movie-goers singing its praises.

Inception is without a doubt worth seeing, maybe even worth seeing twice to fully digest and understand the plot progression and conclusion.
