Inception


Folks-Went to see Christopher Nolan/Leonardo Dicaprio's "Inception" on a free screening last night. Here is my Review of the Movie.

This is the most Intelligent movie I have ever seen- therefore don't go see it when you're tired. Inception is unlike any movie I've ever expereinced and KUDOS to Christopher Nolan who both wrote and directed this layered movie. Gotta give him props in both roles as there was A LOT to keep track of and he absolutely nailed it! The movie is complex and layered and completely believable despite the implausability of the plot. The idea, which is the central crux of the movie, is absolutely brilliant. I can't stop thinking about the movie and how deep inside me there is an idea like this that needs to come out in book form.

You must see this movie. It is fantastic! I will never again be able to tolerate loose ends at the end of a movie. The juxtaposition of the timelines was a stroke of genius! I waited in anticipation of the end to see how they were going to tie up all the mastefully created loose ends, of which there were many- oh they tied them up alright!

Simply out, I have been inspired and have spent most of the day lost in thought as to how to write a book or otherwise tap into my creative potential. One of the best praises I can give of the movie is even though I saw it for free, I fully intend to pay to see it again in IMAX so I can follow the craft, rather than the plot this time.

Again, this is a thinking movie- it fully engages you and draws you in and, in fact, messes with your mind (in a good way.) If you don't like this movie it's because you are stupid- literally-it's because you didn't get it and the concepts went over you, you got lost and weren't thinking it our for yourself.

Go see it. In IMAX. Though I don't recommend it in 3-d (ours was in 2-d) but there was a scene which we agreed would be great in 3-d. Go see this movie, and later read my book that I'm writing after being so inspired. Plus the poster and trailers are somewhat misleading. The scene of the Crime is in your mind- only the tip of the iceberg. But you don't have to take my word for it.
47 stars out of 10!
