Inception review (2010)

I have heard about this film for so many years but I have never had the chance to actually see it myself, I finally have and I must say I think this may be one of the greatest films I have ever seen.

The premise sees a man who can steal secrets from peoples dreams with his consciousness. A business man makes him plant an idea into another business man's dream which is called an inception. This is all I am going to say as the beauty about this film is not knowing allot going into this.

Now I love Leonardo DiCaprio, I think he is one of the best actors working today and this is proven in this film. He is the most developed character in the film and he really carries the emotional weight of the film on his back and you really empathize with his character, even though he has done some bad things.

This is possibly one of the greatest casts of all time and this is further emphasized by just how good the supporting cast is. Ellen page is really the second most developed character and she is an architect of dreams and she was really good in the film with her and DiCaprio's chemistry really working. Ken wantanabe is the business man who hires DiCaprio and he is great in the film as well and fits his character perfectly. Joseph Gordon levitt is in the film as well and his action scenes were breathtaking and every fight he was in really left me on the edge of my seat. Tom hardy was probably my favourite character in the film, this guy is just such a good actor and he also has awesome action scenes and his character is suave and cool as well. Marion cottillard and cillian Murphy are also great in the movie but the less you know about them the better.

The story is really complicated it's true but once you piece everything together you will realise just how good it is. I love how they explained all the dreams and the causality behind everything like the time difference. It just makes a complicated narrative easier to understand, also the emotional scenes did work and made DiCaprios character someone we could relate too. This is probably one of the most talked about endings in recent memory too and all I will say that that it is all up to your own interpretation.

The script is great with some well placed humour among all the dramatic dialogue that was used. Once again I am going to go back to the explanation of the dreams and how I loved that very action had a reason and they simplified it so this film didn't become overly confusing.

The style is one of the best ever, the action scenes are just awesome and when stuff is flying about and fights going on in twisting buildings it just builds for awesome action. Also the score from Hans Zimmer is superb and utterly captures the feeling of the film fantastically.

Overall I love this film and believe it is on par with nolans the dark knight and I think it will be remembered for a long time to come.
