Inception is a Dream Come True

Posted on 13:03 by Unknown
This is probably one of the most difficult blogs I've sat down and tried to post. I've waited for this movie for around a year or more. I've hyped myself up so much about this movie that I would have told you this picture was the cure for cancer. Thankfully Christopher Nolan deliver. I believe this is his magnum opus. It sailed above every movie he's made previously. Niether Momento, Batman Begins, nor The Dark Knight can compare. Nolan has set the bar so high with this movie that it will be a long time before a sci-fi movie can compare. I do believe that the only competition that will be offered to Inception will a rival of Nolan's filming.

To try and articulate how I was near falling out of my seat because I was so far on the edge is difficult. Inception is aweing, mind bending, and genius. I've never seen a movie so breath taking. Scene after scene of cinematic risks - things that I can't call a comparison for. To try and compare this movie to James Bond, Oceans 11, or The Matrix is absurd. To try and box this movie in those terms is shallow at best. They cannot compare to Inception because they are nothing like it.

The movie is a spectacle from beginning to end, but my favorite scene of the movie was the ending. It was emotional and a great pay off for such an overwhelming movie. But in true sci-fi fashion Nolan leaves you with a moment that makes you think and say, "Hey, wait a minute!"

James Cameron should take note from Nolan. This is how movies should be made. You don't have to use gimmicks. Inception was made without 3D and I enjoyed it more than Avatar, it was an original movie, and had such a fantastic story. You need to go to the movie and experience it for yourself. I've not tried to break Inception down scene by scene with this review. It would taint the movie. Inception can't be explained. It must be seen. Go see it, please. You won't regret it.

Without a doubt Inception is my number one movie for 2010:
