Adding to his already impressive repertoire of recent films, Christopher Nolan has written and directed one of the most notable films of the year. Inception (2010) concerns itself with dreams, and the possibility of using someone's subconscious to alter their fate. The film is a visual feast of rich settings, striking action sequences, and some remarkable filming techniques, and the acting is pretty good too.
Leonardo Di Caprio is excellent as the lead role of Cobb, who is an expert dream invader, on one last mission. Of the performances within the film, the most notable is Ellen Page, who plays Ariadne, a talented, yet naive, dream architect. Her career to date has been impressive, and Inception promises to be a sign of extraordinary things to come.
Movie viewers should note that this is not a film to relax with, it is intelligent, deep, and lenghty. The storyline demands attention, and I feel at least a two-watch minimum. However, for those looking for a film worthy of a modern Cinema ticket price, Nolan has given you a film you can definitely sink your teeth into. The complexities, layers, and intrigue make this a lasting movie, and a summer Must See.
