Christopher Nolan found a way to make this movie both inherently believable and suspenseful. The subtle humor was extremely tasteful, and Leo's acting was impeccable. On the note of acting, Ellen Page's performance was incredible and very worthy of Best Supporting Actress. The rest of the supporting cast made this movie so incredibly emotional and likable in so many ways, that this movie made me wish that fantasy dream science was possible. Well done.… Expand

Multi-faceted genre with a great musical score, excellent acting, titillating action sequences, original concept and seamless storytelling. For it's complexity and the multitude of linear parallel story aches but with different parameterizations with respect to time, it was pleasantly easy to follow along for the average movie-goer, which I believe is testament to the great foundational strength of it's logic, directing, and execution. This movie had a lot of interesting themes to ponder over too, but more than anything, what amazed me was how in the process of watching it you find yourself in wonderment at the elegance and how it brings it all together seamlessly (if you look for the loose thread, you'll be looking for awhile, as if you were trying to find the 2nd side to a loop of paper twisted and fused at the ends). Whereas other movies will intentionally over-complicate a movie and cut-it up and mix it up to create abstraction, Inception has the complexity, but in a almost natural order, or mathematically, like a function f(a(b(c(d(e(x))))).… Expand

Inception is a masterpiece. After one viewing I can't wait smack down another 10 bucks to unlock some of the deeper narrative themes.

Yes, Inception takes from the best movies of recent history, but does so in an artful and thoughtful way. Nolan is building, not copying.

People are always whining and complaining on how confusing Inception was. Well obviously those people didn't even watch the movie because if people actually paid attention, they'd actually understand what is going on. Second of all, if this movie isn't up for any Academy Awards then I'll be pissed. The Dark Knight wasn't up for anything 2 years ago, and Chris Nolan was ticked off. Although, the reason why he didn't make another Batman movie was because he wanted that academy award that he should've got 2 years ago. Nolan wanted to go even deeper, so the Academy would actually for once give him credit for something that no one has ever done. This movie is as good as the Dark Knight, but goes even deeper within the realm of mind. The Academy better be right this year because I'm not watching some crappy britain movie that no one even knows that somehow is better than Inception.

"Inception" is absolutely astonishing! It's "Mission: Impossible" with a screenplay by Franz Kafka and Carl Jung. Those with room temperature I.Q.s should probably avoid it and wait for the next Roland Emmerich movie for their action fix.

Easily one of the best movies ever made. But I will say you will either love it and think that it is a original idea for a movie or you will hate it.

It has a nice balance that I find very hard to find in movies anymore.

All of these things build up the climax to a peak that honestly left me breathless. See it twice.… Expand

Words can't describe how much I love this movie. I knew I would enjoy it, but to have it rank among my all time favorite movies is a testament to its greatness. Truly, a work of art, and one all should take time out of their schedule to see.

I was afraid that the commercial success of the "Dark Night" C.

Nolan will fall (like other promising directors) into the blockbuster with lots of stars with big budget with a useless story, just to make the Studio happy to gross money on his fame alone. None of that. I believe he has delivered one of the best movie in the last ten years. I can understand some critics that say he could have gone further into the "delirium" of the story; or others who believe he went too far to be watchable. But if you keep an open mind, appreciate the actors play (All the cast is really good), and give credit to Nolan's details of the script, you will enjoy that movie a lot.… Expand

I absolutely can not stop thinking about this movie. Just as there is multiple layers in the dreams there is multiple meanings that can be taken from it. Really makes you think... amazing stuff.

This movie is a masterpiece. Confusing at first, but it turns into a smart idea from beginning to end. And the ending is genious, but not spoiling it.

A movie to pay attention to, literally, or you might miss something! "Mal" is French for illness, and is also the name of Dom's wife - was she even real, or just an illness in Dom's psyche??

Every time Nolan seems to be steering Inception off the path of solid narrative into an aesthetic world of fantasy and special effects, the plot always takes a twist that throws everything back into perfect rationality. An instant classic.

I think that's crazy. From the beginning to the end this movie does a good job of putting you in the story without being over the top. The action seemed more lifelike than other movies that make their action to be unrealistic. The end really got me though.... Great ending. This movie is definetly a masterpeice and I feel bad for whoever disagrees. Best movie I have seen in a long time.… Expand

Amazing piece of art from Nolan. It's a bit risky to make movies like this when pople's brains are totally destroyed by sequels and remakes. Go on, Cris.
