Inception Review: The greatest film since "The Dark Night" this one will take best original screenplay and soundtrack on Oscar night!



"Inception" is a incomprehensible puzzle of a film and the best original science fiction since "The Matrix" but don’t be fooled this film is nothing like matrix. Inception began 10 years ago as a 80-page treatment but Writer/Director Christopher Noland decided that he didn’t have the skill and resources to make a large budget film so he honed his talents on "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Night" then having proved himself a bankable director Noland polished his script and now it is legend. "Inception" is the covert planting of an idea without the mark (the person) knowing about it, the trick is to get into the mark's psyche and plant the idea and get out without them knowing and beliving they came up with the idea on their own.  Now that is a very high concept approach!  How exactly did this film deliver the goods when so many other summer films did not?

For starters the cast is amazing Leonardo DiCaprio does angry and confused extremely well his character has lost everything his children, his nationality and the woman he loves... his latest inception will allow him to see his kids again but his guilt may compromise his goals, without giving too much of the plot away the story is amazing the concept of a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream... then limbo is brilliant along with the Hans Zimmer score with its loud BRRMMMM... BRRMMM it's dark, brooding and overpowering bass line gets into your head and stays there I must see this film again its already bought on DVD.

The SFX team on "Inception" have achieved greatness but I didn’t like one hiccup the scene where the characers Dom Cobb and Ariadne (the dream architect) walked up the wall, it was a little cheesy but Noland is allowed a hiccup or two another scene I'm baffled about as to how they did it was the weightlessness scene.  It looked so incredibly real I'm guessing they built the set on some kind of cargo plane and they did a steep decent to create the effect but it was so real kudos to the FX team it's up there with "The Matrix" bullet time effect if they're smart the FX wizards should keep that magic trick under they're hat.

I give this movie an A+ and expect this one to win Oscars in best original screenplay, best score, best costume design but the FX are great but not Avatar great and finally THANK YOU CHRISTOPHER NOLAND FOR NOT MAKING THIS FILM IN FREKEN 3D!!!!!!!
