    In an industry filled with sequels and remakes Inception dare to be original, and for the most part it delivered!!! The only problem that I had with this movie is that it was way to long, and the ending was a little far fetched even in a fantasy world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay the film is brilliant, that's all I have to say about that. Now in a linear thought process I will try to explain what happened. 1. Cobb lived with his family in the U.S. He and Mal explored the dreamworld all the way down to limbo. In limbo, Mal came to the belief that limbo was reality. Cobb, after finding Mal's hidden spinning top (her totem) knows for certain that limbo is not reality and has grown weary with living in limbo. He convinces Mal to take "a leap of faith with him" saying that limbo is not reality and the only way to escape it and return to the real world is to kill themselves. Mal goes along with it and they place their heads on the railroad track. 2. Mal is not permanently convinced that the real world is real though and she still longs for limbo; which for her, is her real world. She writes a note making it seem that Cobb had killed her and she wrote it to a lawyer in order to make it seem that Cobb murdered her. She believes in this way Cobb will rather take his life along with her than stay in the real world, which she believes is fake. Cobb knows otherwise and does not jump with her. After Malâ Expand

    Hello. If by any chance what so ever you hated this movie then you should probably reread this at list a couple times. Inception is by far the best freaking movie of the decade. just as the decade has ended.
    whenever I see someone who doesn't like this movie is because they just don't understand it at all. Then they get all mad and just makes fun of it any way that they can like, '' it was
    a waste of time or money.'' well let me just tell you that there was plenty of action and actually a few funny parts in it as well( definitely more then the dark knight.). It was the '' total package '' and it is a movie that I think everyone on the planet should see it to just notice that nolan made it all by himself. The whole dream fiasco, the whole idea of it is incredible and that it doesn't just blow still amazes me to this very day. And we all had a decent dream once, right? Can't we just love Inception and get along? Expand

    This film is an exceptional blockbuster, with heart-pounding music, a brilliant stroyline, great acting and stunning visual effects. The concept of dreams is cleverly interwined with memories and personal experience, adding a sub story to the main 'inception' mission.

    this is the best movie ive ever watched.Nolan brings out his writing and directing ability in this movie.its quite sad he wasn't nominated for best director. :(

    Inception has its weak points and its strengths. What makes Inception good is the fact that it explores a generally unexplored movie subject. The mind. Coupled with great action and acting this movie is a wonderful. The plot may be confusing and hard to follow, and by the end leaves you questions, however the movie does its best to convey the message of the film.

    Without the relentless editing; bevy of name actors; clean, stylish direction; seamless special effects - this would have been a catastrophe. Christopher Nolan has somehow entangled kinetic action with analysis to make a theater experience beyond casual - there's a grandiosity, yet artful, almost European smartness to this film that makes for a thoroughly satisfying time. The film somewhat falters in it's last third, yet the wit involved in orchestrating such a feat is enough to make thoughtful action fan giddy with excitement. Expand

    Creative dream-sight - In a modern present time confidential information can be planted inside the human brain and a man can communicate with his deceased wife.

    Dominic Cobb is a sharp minded extractionist who makes a living of a modern technological discovery. The main goal with this technology is to capture secret information from ordinary peoples minds, but the goal is rotated 180
    degrees when Dominic receives an irresistible offer from a powerful Japanese, which involves inception.

    After the box office hit "The Dark Knight" (2008) my expectations were great when it was announced that Christopher Nolan was making a film with Leonardo DiCaprio, and he certainly delivers. "Inception" looks good on the big screen and lacks nothing when it comes to the films technological and aesthetic aspects. The films versatile acting ensemble engages with their energetic and well articulated interpretations. Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe and Cillian Murphy stands out, while Leonardo DiCaprio continues to prove why he is hired by masterful directors. "Inception" is 220 minutes like the speed of light with thriller, drama, comedy and action, that describes and visualizes the experience of being awake and in dreams at the same time. Nolan's dream-sight and level of creativity can be associated with "The Matrix" (1996) and "Vanilla Sky" (2001). Intellectual dialog, progressive editing, sublime architecture photography and a thought intensive screenplay are some of the strongest elements in this ingenious film.

    Inception is a great film but while I was watching this for the first time, I was saying to myself "What is going on here?" I was saying that to myself the second time I say it as well. Still a great film though.

    A pretty good idea. The movie seems to present a parallel universe which tends the reality. The special effects and the characterâ

    I can't believe someone actually said that the Matrix was better............ I must admit the first Matrix was awesome, but then by the next two sequels it went "Hollywood" I swear those fight scenes in Reloaded looked like Keanu Reeves was on "Dancing with the stars" It was like no one on the set even attempted to make the fight scenes look real. (It looked like really bad dance moves especially with the sountrack blazing in the background behind each fight scene) Now Inception obviously came from a Hollywood that has become "Matrixed" out(And I'll give that much for the matrix trilogy, for setting a new standard) But Inception has a really great flow about it, its quite smooth in its distribution, Its like walking right into a dream that someone has created. The creators of this film obviously truly thought this film through, which today doesn't seem to happen much, the truth of this is that by the end of the film , you realize that they were the "Architects" and you were the patsy whose mind they've manipulated by a dream they've created.

    A mind-bending, intricately constructed film. Nolan's surreal imagery, deeply layered story telling, and compelling visual style make this a must-see. Top-notch acting, superb direction, and fantastic special effects.
  13. Feb 26, 2011
    A really interesting concept, but the movie falls short in many, many aspects. Character development, apart from Cobb (which is only adequate), is non-existant. Therefore I wasn't emotionally invested in the movie at all. Dialogue is a bit clunky, with so many expositions at the beginning of the film. The SFX were nice, but we've seen a lot of it before. They lacked the wow factor of say the Matrix, Avatar or Terminator 2. The climax felt rushed and there was way too much actiona and big explosions for what is supposed to be a thoughtful sicence fiction film. Plotholes in a complex plot such as this are inevitable, but for me, there were simply too many.

    In summary a great idea, but too much action and not enough character development. The ideas in this movie and the 'setup' at the beginning felt forced in a way that, say, the Matrix never did. This is a clever film for a blockbuster, but its execution falls well, well short of the user reviews on here. The critics are nearer the mark on this one.

    This is one of the best movies ive ever seen. if someone tells you its too confusing, then they were probably told the same thing and over thought it. it isnt hard to get. the acting is superb as is the writing, directing, and score, there is no words to describe what Nolan has done with the effects of this movie and the fact that he did as little of CGI as possible is commendable. an instant classic, a must buy.

    Innovative and intelligent, Inception is both thoroughly and imaginatively written and visually breathtaking. Pros: Brilliantly written and directed, as expected from Christopher Nolan; breathtaking special effects; marvelous climax; outstanding performances. Cons: Inception is not just for looks, in fact, it may come off as "boring" to audiences less interested in its complex use of narration and dialog. Expand

    Nolan's brainchild is the most original one-off we are likely to see in a long while; perfect in it's pin-point and unnerving defiance to pander to everyone's needs. As one door closes, another opens filled with mysteries for us to obsess about. This is a well-executed and obsessed over piece of work from a modern wizard of film. It often falls somewhere between the hyper-aware and unpredictable 'Vanilla Sky' and an excellent modern action/thriller with some great stoic appearances from Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy; their strong, yet under-developed characters fitting brilliantly within a half-remembered dream. Expand

    This was, to say the least, a mind-blowing and fantastic movie. I hate to say it but anyone who gave this a negative score should really think about watching it again, because you really need to be smart to understand it fully and should probably watch it at least three times, because after that the story and dialog become crystal clear and it becomes much more clear overall. You can't just go in and think you'll be able to watch it like some mindless action movie, because this is so much more than that. I for one enjoyed it the first time I watched it a lot and it got better each time I watched it, so for even those who didn't like it because they thought the characters were shallow and the plot was bad because they didn't understand it, give it a second chance, you'll find a marvel of a movie. Better written than most movies ever made including The Dark Knight. Expand

    I thought it over like fifty times, but it just cannot be any different than a ten (10). First time I watched it in cinema, I was a little bit baffled or misoriented. However after getting the DVD I watch it once a week I think. I just can`t get over this flick! Where do I start - maybe from the best. First off, performance worth of an Oscar by Leonardo DiCaprio, excellent acting by Marion Cotillard and Ken Watanabe, above average by all the rest, especially Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy. All of the characters without exceptions are engaging in their own way. Each of them contribute to make the viewer experience something special. There are couple of wonderful scenes here which I view from time to time just out of boredom. There are all kinds of emotions I especially appreciate. Second, the music. I just can`t get it out of my head. It succeeds wonderfully in both assisting the action scenes and dramatic ones. It perfectly manipulates the viewer without him noticing. Third being the story. It is just brilliant. Somehow Christopher Nolan managed to make an action-thriller-drama film in one without going overboard. The love story is there - it doesn`t get in the way, it is touching. The action scenes are ok, without no needless effects. The chain of events is overall well thought. The idea of dream in a dream has been executed with excellence. The viewer experiences all kinds of emotions : fear, sorrow, intrigue, happiness, doubt. I didn`t find a single hole in the story. Everythin with a cliffhanger scene and a never-know end to it. Easily one of my 20 all time best movies ever made. Perfect. Expand

    If you want to be spellbounded by a complex and riveting spectacle than you've found your naker because this film displayed wonderful special effects and moving perfomances! It challenges the intellectual to think out side of the box and takes a few watches to understand completed. Evidently, Christopher Nolan breathed life into a well-crafted wonder that diserves all the critical acclaim the world has described! Expand
  23. Mar 22, 2011
    One word: Masterpiece!!! Christopher Nolan once again serves up another action blockbuster and if truth be told its possibly the best film of 2010. Nolan gets it spot on in almost every sense, visually its just mesmerizing, it is an awesome achievement to do what Nolan does in this film. The characters are engaging from the very beginning and immediately draws you into the world of Inception, leaving you pondering what is dream and what is reality. The idea itself is intriguing and in a film you would doubt it would work but this is sublime film-making. Di Caprio is as grand as ever in the lead role but the star of the show is Tom Hardy, who brings a more light-hearted and ironic approach aboard he seems destined for big things. And a mention for the beautiful Marion Cotillard who is terrific as Cobb's wife lost in limbo. This is without doubt one of the boldest and bravest films ever made and for that reason it's certainly one of the best films of all time! Expand
  24. Mar 23, 2011
    This movie draws an 84 score? No way. Plot is too complicated and goofy to be followed by anyone who wants some context with reality. Ellen Page is annoying as the new talent brought into the IM force as the last minute and turns out to be the smartest one of the bunch while playing a game she didn't even know about a few days earlier. Best way to watch this move, if you must, is with the CC on so you can follow the thin plot somewhat. For my money, watch "12 Monkeys" again. Expand

    This movie confused the heck out of me! It was still enjoyable to watch though and see what was going to happen next. But seriously? Dreams inside of other dreams? Get real!
  26. Apr 19, 2011
    This is the best movie I have seen in awhile. The characters are engadgeing and you end up careing for them and feeling the plight. The ending is ambigious as the scene cus before in order for the viewer to determine. Great movie.
  27. Sep 18, 2011
    Clever and entertaining mix of sci fi and thriller with plenty for fans of both genres. If anything the side plot of the main character, while giving him some depth, distracts from the main focus of the movie. Well worth watching and and nice to see an original concept although the fight scenes are not up to the standard of the Matrix.
  28. Apr 20, 2011
    Inception is one of those films that captures your mind from the beginning. Some might say its a hard movie to understand, but that only makes it better. When you combine great acting, great directing, and superb music, you get Inception.
  29. Jul 8, 2011
    I don't understand how this film can have a Metascore of 74 when so many ignored critics are giving this film full marks. What do I think? It's fantastic. The acting is perfect, blending high-grade celebrities with lesser-known but very good actors. The story is one of the film's greatest strengths, bringing together common themes and morals with a completely fresh, Matrix-y plot. The special effects are simply ground-breaking. They are so good, they are almost as much of a technological leap that (the aformentioned) The Matrix was. Any weak points? The story can be quite confusing sometimes, but it doesn't detract from the film's excellence ONE BIT. Everything in this film is judged perfectly. Miss this fantastic film and you will regret it forever. Expand

    Christopher Nolan's Inception quite clearly is a masterpiece. Originally different, excitingly action-packed, and definitely fascinating, Inception is a film like no other. In order to understand the movie, you have to follow it, not just look at the screen and figure out what's happening. And that's the goods Nolan brings to the screen. He wants the audience to feel the movie, not see it. And I did connect. There's so much good stuff to this film. Let's start with the plot. Inception is about a team who go into people's dreams and steal ideas or similar things that you can access from the mind (security numbers, thoughts, etc.). But when one of their jobs fail, they flee. Just when they thought they would have to start new lives, they receive a job offer. Team leader Cobb (DiCaprio) and his right hand man, Arthur (Gordon-Levitt), are told by Saito (Watabe), that he has a proposition. He wants to incept an idea into someone's mind. Arthur believes it's impossible, but Cobb says it can be done. So they take the job, but they need a new team. So they go round the world and find an elite team: Ariadne (Page), the architect, Eames (Hardy), the forger, and Yusuf (Rao), the chemist. And after weeks and weeks of planning, dreams, and secrets, they commence their plot. But once they enter the dream, not all goes according to plan... So, truly, the plot is brilliant. Full of action, drama, and emotion, Nolan wrote one fantastic script. Then comes the acting. Surprisingly well done, the whole cast acted every one of their roles to the fullest. 'Nuff said. Then the 4 Oscars they received were worthy. Cinematography:excellent. Sound:excellent. Sound editing:excellent. Visual effects:outstanding! This is the film with the best visual effects since Avatar, and Avatar had the best visual effects since, well, anything! The collapsing of the buildings, the movement of the floor turning into a wall, all looked so freakin REAL! Now, I move on to Nolan. He was robbed of a nomination from the academy, and that's just wrong. Other critics can definitely tell you the same thing. His endless work on this film was so giving to the audience, and worth aol the money he rolled in from it. He's one of the best directors out there, up with James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, and Clint Eastwood. Everything he does turns to gold (or at least in Hollywood). Can I stretch it enough? No. But It would take as many reviews as you can read to stretch it "enough". Now, to the final part that made this film great. The message. This film has such an emotional feel through out. Cobb and his wife are loving people. But little does the audience know, what truly happened until the end. This causes Cobb to flee from his friends, family, and children. The last glimpses he has of them are there backsides playing in the sand. All Cobb now wants is to go back to his family and see them, one last time. And in the end, when he sees them, he leaves his totem spinning. He doesn't care if he's in dreamer not anymore. As long as he gets to be with his children. He just needs his family. The message sent is all that matters, In any circumstances, is family. And despite all the dreams in the film, that's more reality than anything. 10/10 Expand

    Superb! One of the finest films ever made! Regardless of all the theories on story originality, this film is a masterpiece nonetheless. DiCaprio gives an excellent performance supported by an awesome cast! This picture is beautifully filmed and scored, and it accomplished what so many films fail to do these brought people to the theatres!
  32. Aug 2, 2012
    It's not a perfect movie, because I don't think we will ever get a perfect movie, but Nolan's latest work combines a complex, intriguing idea with a personal story and huge action scenes. The acting, particularly from Di Caprio - who has matured a significant amount since Titanic as an actor -, Hardy - who never fails to put in a strong performance - and Murphy, was consistently good. The plot is cleverly written and keeps you glued to your screen, and finally the ambiguous ending is a good move by Nolan as it means the film is open to individual interpretation. Combine this with brilliant music and visuals and you have Inception. Expand

  34. May 12, 2011
    While the visuals and the general idea of the plot are unique and brilliant, the execution left LOADS to be desired. The characters (with the exception of DiCaprio's) have almost no personality and I found it impossible to connect to anyone. Both Paige and Gordon-Levitt were one dimensional and lacked chemistry. Also the ending was sentimental hogwash, and entirely predictable. Nolan was ambitious in this project, however he failed to make me feel anything except relieved it was over and somewhat angry at losing more than 2 1/2 hours of my life which would have been better spent watching The Fly for Christ sakes (and not the good one, the Jeff Goldblum one). Save yourself and avoid this turd of a movie. Expand

    Director Christopher Nolan has once again dazzled us with his new epic, "Inception". Nolan has written such a multi- layered screenplay which is sure to baffle audiences. He has managed to arrange a huge cast full of talented actors like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Oscar nominee Ellen Page, Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy and 3 time Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio. The music provided by Hans Zimmer weaves other sounds along with " Je ne regrette rien", the song sung by Edith Piaf. CInematography : simply stunning. A special mention for Marion Cotillard for her haunting performance as Leonardo's love lost. The supporting cast in this movie is not like some prop and is utilised to the fullest. Not your average summer blockbuster. The movie deals with the themes of guilt, redemption and the sheer ability of the human mind to do anything which is beyond the grasp of all of us. Good job, Mr. Nolan! Expand

    Every so often a film comes out that may change a life; this is a film that changed an entire reality. One hundred and forty-eight minutes of non-stop action, deception and philosophical questioning. This is a film that will make you ask: 'Who am I?', 'What am I?', 'Where am I?', and 'How is any of this happening?' long after the final credits roll. While the fast pace beginning may be a bit much for non-science-fiction lovers to grasp, it doesnâ Expand

    What an astonishing movie! It is my personal favourite film of all time and it can also make a case to be the best film of all time alongside Citizen Kane. However Inception will not have the same impact Kane did so it's hard to judge.

    This movie could have been so easy to screw up, the last act of the film had so many intense stories running at the same time but was flawlessly pulled off and shows how talented it's film makers are. The music, editing and acting are great. Its story has some depth and originality and many of Inceptions scenes and sets are very unique and memorable. Inception is one of 2010s best movies and will be remembered for a long time. Highly Recommended. Expand

    Not too bad ladies and gentlemen, not bad at all. It starts with a bang and never stops. From the intense fight scenes to the emotional love scenes, the movie never slows down. During the movie, let's admit it, we were all a bit confused at some point, but never make the mistake of thinking too hard about during the film or asking the guy next to you, because you'll end up missing the explanation. If you go into this movie fully prepared to think, there will be no problem. Expand

    very good film, little bit slow but when it gets going, it's exciting and action packed. With a good plotline and excellent acting, i would put inception in my top 10-15 films. see this film! one downside is that it leaves a disappointingly open ending after an action-packed film. you may find yourself a bit confused afterwards and may have to watch it again to gain a full understanding but on the whole, an brilliant film, and a definite must see Expand

    Inception is easily one of my top five, and from a visual angle it's probably the best I've ever seen. The story starts out with a scene from the end, which adds hundreds of pounds of suspense to a final hour and a half already bursting with it. The story is never truly revealed, the web is unwound into an ever-changing plot that keeps you guessing to the very last scene. Also, the performances from DiCaprio, Page, and the rest of the corp of actors are amazingly good. And the suspense never ends; the ending leaves you with one last burning question. A masterpiece.

    Inception should have opened to Mark Twain's famous quote; "other people's dreams are dreadfully wearisome". Thanks to the media machine surrounding Inception, it became impossible for me to approach without wanting to cast aspersions on the whole film. Yes, it's more intricate than the majority of run-of-the-mill action films that are released year after year, but that isn't saying much. It's an OK film, if a little boring and with its head firmly up its own arse, but throughout I was reminded of examples where the subject matter was tackled far more effectively. It's sort of like The Matrix of its time; here's a dream, a world of complete imagination! Now, let's solve our problems with automatic weapons. Expand
  49. Aug 23, 2011
    INCEPTION rarely fails to please. The only time it seriously does (and as a full-fledged displeasure) is in the last 15 or 20 minutes when it gets very, very boring and the action is no longer needed for the story line (well, maybe the last scene is necessary).

Everyone got an equal role in the film, and everyone did impressed me more than I expected. Three, the Soundtrack... This was the best music I ever heard to since a very very long time.

    Inception is trully a great film, but I just cannot summarize the plot its just to hard. If you have not seen it yet you must, its a masterpiece I would recommend this movie to anyone but be warned it is confusing I had to see the movie twice to fully understand it.

    What is given is a multi-layered cake of suspense elements, and this is what Nolan is truly gifted in. Many complained that the third act of The Dark Knight had far too many moving parts, and became exhausting. What Nolan knows how to do is pile on amounts of suspense that build on each other naturally, as opposed to employing cheap gimmicks. In many ways, it's a lot like the climax of Back to the Future: Many different variables that can go wrong, all of which affect each other, thus re-organizing the plan every few minutes. If you're not worried about Marion Cotillard showing up and ruining everything, you're worried about the amount of time (three of which to keep track of), multiple threats of life, and inner-turmoil of a lead character is interesting enough to follow throughout. With a narrative this confusing, coupled with existential ideas to think about (but not too many that it becomes pretentious), Inception requires multiple viewings, and unlike some of Nolan's other movies, which got less interesting with each viewing, Inception becomes more interesting, more entertaining, and more rewarding. And, after an entire decade of stupid Shyamalan-inspired plot twists, Inception redefines it: Inception's plot twist is that it may or may not have even had a plot twist! You've officially been mind-f**ked. Expand

    One of the most satisfying action sci-fi thrillers to date. Some people complain to be confused by the intricate but interesting plot and scenario, but the whole movie, I was so engrossed to every detail that I was never lost. Brilliant acting, wonderful special effects and a fascinating idea with plenty of twists and action along the way that will leave you interested for the entire movie, until the suspenseful ending that will leave you guessing. An incredible movie in nearly every department, and a must-see for sure. Expand

    It is not Nolan's masterpiece (this title belongs to "The Dark Knight"), but "Inception" amazed me with its powerful cast, inventive story and spellbinding visual effects.
  57. Aug 20, 2011
    Interesting ending. A real conversation starter. But Christopher Nolan's "Inception" Lacks storytelling and character. I didn't care about anybody in the film. And I was SO confused at times. but the times where I wasn't, it was a thrill ride, incredibly unique, and very suspenseful with some cool twists. But it could've been written better and it was just TOO confusing. But overall, an incredible achievement visually, and a real mind bender. It was very good, but not amazing. Expand

    This is the best movie of all time! It just gets everything right. It is beautifully plotted, masterfully acted, and the visual effects are absolutely incredible! It is so much more smarter than your typical action film and it does not rely on its action and visual effects (which in this film was amazing by the way) but its storyline is strong enough to keep you engaged. Chris Nolan, you are a legend! Expand

    This is what I call an Original Film with an amazing and incredible script, and we owe to Christopher Nolan for making such a good film, with a clever screenplay, it just blow everything apart I was mesmerized by it. Everything in the movie was fantastic, i have nothing bad to say about it, it was just pure imagination and creation, and i'm very thankful for the existence of this movie. All members of the Cast were outstanding especially, Leonardo, Joseph, Ellen & Marion. This was the movie of 2010, hands down. Expand

    Although my brother in law almost gave the ending away, I watched Inception tonight. I absolutely loved it. The acting was superb, visual effects amazing and the story fantastic. I thought Tom Hardy was exceptional yet again. I really enjoy Leonardo Di Caprio's performances, and feel that Titanic was merely a blip. Ellen Page was wonderful, yet again, and the rest of the cast, particularly joseph gordon-levitt. Finding original ideas in films is becoming increasing difficult, with all the remakes and super heroes movies out there, so this was a real breath of fresh air. I can not praise this film enough, Nolan has done it yet again as far as I'm concerned a definite 10 out of 10 Expand

    I just watched this movie for the second time, and wow my opinion has completely changed. At first I got bored with the second half of the movie, possibly because of the way it goes from laying down and explaining all the dream rules into a much more fast paced action film. But after watching again I can appreciate it so much better, this movie really immersed me. I dont have too many complaints with the direction either. Thought it was a bit lame with the staircase drop and some other minor things, like goons who cant aim at all! But overall theres a lot of food for thought and it really keeps you on the edge. Expand

    You have got to love the originality of Inception, the mind-blowing visuals and the intriguing storyline. Very few movies can put that itch in your brain, that itch that makes you need to understand what's going on, that itch that makes you forget about your popcorn and soda or who and what is around you. It's that good feeling you get after watching a Christopher Nolan movie. He doesn't treat the audience to dumb-downed plots and dialogue and inexplicably intense and useless action scenes, yet he maintains that simplicity that lets his movies, Inception in this case, a movie that leaves all ages in awe and wonder.

    If you read a psychoanalysis book by Sigmund Freud, you will find that the concept of this movie is complex itself, but the characters and development and the final of the story is just non sense but it tries to make you thing that you are watching a very confused and complex story, but think about it, the final is a confused open final, why? because it simply has no end just because Christopher Nolan don't know how to tell a story Expand

    There are often summer films that succeed visually, but are not as spectacular without the addition of intellectual thought. It takes a while to navigate through all the confusion, but it is fascinating to see how everything works. The characters couldn't have been played better. Christopher Nolan doesn't treat his viewers as if they're stupid, but neither does he pretend he's so clever that he immediately confuses everyone. This is a rare summer film that thrills as well as fascinates, providing not just visual treats, but also intellectual ones. Expand

    Inception is an amazing film that has a good premisis and delivers perfection. Leonardo Di Caprio's acting is as amazing as ever. The plot is very strong and the special effects that the film has are amazing, the story can get mildly confusing at times but that is the subtle point of the movie. Inception requires a lot of thinking and accomplishes that. Overall, Inception is a great film that everyone should watch and it is a film that you will remember forever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El origen (Inception): reseña en castellano / español.

    ___«El origen» [en inglés «Inception»] es una de las películas más interesantes que vi hasta ahora. Cristopher Nolan, su director [Memento, El caballero de la noche/Dark Night] es respetuoso con el espectador, no exagera y tampoco ofrece contenido gratuito que desmerezca las capacidades intelectuales de su público. La historia está presentada de manera prácticamente impecable porque no deja cabos sueltos y los que quedan trascienden el argumento volviéndose irrelevantes [cómo funciona la tecnología para invadir sueños, en qué marco temporal transcurre la historia o el pasado de algunos personajes de los que el mismo no es relevante para el argumento]. La trama aborda los procesos oníricos de una manera muy interesante y científicamente «plausible» sin embargo se tomaron algunas licencias para justificar los sucedido en la pantalla y eso está muy bien para la historia y muy bien por parte del director porque nos permite construir con mayor fidelidad y veracidad la fantasía que surge como exposición al contenido del film. Aquellos que estén familiarizados con los procesos oníricos así como la mitología y el psicoanálisis [con fuertes raíces mitológicas] se van a deleitar con las referencias expresas, algunas de ellas tan sutiles como los sueños:

    *Ariadne, el personaje de Ellen Page que se encarga de la construcción de los laberintos oníricos, toma su nombre del personaje mitológico griego, la hija del rey Minos, que le da a Teseo una bovina con hilo para que desenrolle y pueda salir del laberinto del minotauro a medida que lo incursiona.

    *El uso del agua como conducto entre el mundo de los sueños y el real, al igual que la fuerza de gravedad que suele ser un fenómeno que despierta a la gente con bastante frecuencia.

    *El empleo de la canción «Non, je ne regrette rien» de Edith Piaf como alerta que tienen los personajes para salir de los sueños porque Marion Cotillard [Mal, la esposa de Cobb] ganó el oscar como mejor actriz protagónica en 2009 por el rol principal en la adaptación cinematográfica de la vida de dicha cantante «La vie en rose».

    *El hecho de que la esposa de Cobb se llame Mal y represente la fuerza destructora del inconsciente de Cobb; fuerza que puede ser comparada al arquetipo de la sombra en la psicología Jungiana.

    *La ralentización de la percepción del tiempo en el estado onírico y su factorización exponencial a medida que se incrementan los niveles de profundidad del sueño.

    *La preparación anticipada que hace Cobb a Fisher antes de la inmersión en el inconsciente de este último: lo hace recordar a su padre y procesar cierta información respecto del mismo para que sea lo último que recuerde antes de dormirse y lo utilice como material de acceso inmediato en la construcción de su realidad onírica.

    *El personaje principal representado por Leonardo Di Caprio se llama «Cobb» [un tipo de araña] y su función es moverse por los laberintos construidos cual telas de araña para confundir a su presa, atraparla y obligarla a que se rinda para que ceda la idea que está buscando.

    ___Si bien en ciertos puntos se puede comparar esta película con la trilogía «Matrix», sólo puede hacerse si uno se basa el similitud de algunos conceptos como el de las realidades irreales y la presencia de mecanismos de defensa dentro de cada realidad que se manifiestan como proyecciones antropomórficas no obstante «El origen» ofrece una experiencia diferente que está basada en el conflicto interno que surge cuando la realidad que nos rodea es amarga e indeseable y una realidad alternativa es lo que más se añora, la capacidad que se tiene para influir la vida de los demás con una simple idea y las consecuencias catastróficas existenciales que eso puede tener tanto para la víctima como morales para el victimario.

    ___«El origen» es un film que debe ser visto porque es generoso, respetuoso, delicado y gratificante aun si su final no es lo suficientemente contundente después de todo lo que hay que atevesar como espectadores; toda la experiencia vale sus 146 minutos de duración. La realidad fantástica que nos propone Cristopher Nolan requiere de una módica cuota de voluntad y atención considerable pero retribuye con la sensación de haber visto algo complejo en un lenguaje simple, rico y directo que sin duda alguna gratificará a muchos.

    INCEPTION is an original, well-acted, well-directed and interesting film that is one of the best films of 2010 and keeps you watching from start to finish.
  72. Dec 28, 2011
    Inception is terrifically directed, brilliantly acted and bloody confusing. But, it's a multidimensional film that can be watched over and over again. And each time, you pick up more and more parts of the story that you missed or didn't quite understand. 4/4 stars.
  73. Nov 3, 2011
    This is truly a thinking movie. It is abstract. If you don't want to use your brain, than don't see this movie. It's about planting a dream in someone else's mind. While that may seem odd/stupid, Christopher Nolan expands on it. He uses great detail, and pieces that humans can understand. You don't know what's real and what's not, which makes it that much more powerful. The effects are fully driven to capture your attention. It's not the whole gun-chasing,explosions thing that leaves you as soon as you walk out of the movie. No, it's more than that. It's a movie with a message that needs to be fully understood. You can watch it again and again and still see the same points that made you love it. Original, brilliant, and exceptionally well done from the talented Nolan, it's not too far fetched to say it's one of the best movies of all time. Expand
  74. Nov 5, 2011
    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Christopher Nolan another time proved that his ideas are terrific. Inception is an unbelievable fantastic movie which shows the ability of mind in dreams. The idea and the movie story are close and the truth about the main character has been involved incredibly. Tom Hardy , Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotilard have a really good performance and the others are good enough. I think Inception is not the best but its the most important movie of past decade (2000-2010) and I'm sure Christopher Nolan nest movies will be masterpieces. He is talented and deserve more chances. Expand
  75. Nov 18, 2011
    THE film of 2010. Original and imaginative filmmaking at its finest. Christopher Nolan is going places, and I'm beyond shocked he was snubbed for a directing Oscar nomination. The film is great because of it's different approach to telling you its story, and of course, messing with your mind. By the end of the film, you yourself will wonder if you are under the effects of Inception.
  76. Oct 1, 2013
    Inception is amazing movie with a quite well thought out plot. Originality shines upon the script and the storyline in this movie and it is like no other you have watched. The actors have done a fantastic job with the acting and the production team was keen on the special effects and sound effects. This is truly a sci-fi movie worth watching especially for those who are in love with the aspect of the human mind and the dream state. Expand
  77. Nov 20, 2011
    One of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. It is original, and a real brainteaser. The ending of the movie is so fascinating, it's like the director just wants you to finish the plot. Really great movie!

    It's easy to get lost in a feature like Inception.
    No, not because of its apparently complex storyline and premise, which I find rather simple to follow, as it is clearly explained throughout the film. Rather more its gripping tale of taking a simple idea in our mind, and create pretty much whatever we see fit.
    Leonardo DiCaprio stars as 'dream thief' Dom Cobb, an expert in extracting
    information from a subjects subconscious. To return to a life of peace with his children, Cobb is asked to commit 'Inception', planting an idea inside a subjects subconscious while they are asleep.
    Christopher Nolan has created not necessarily something to baffle and dumbfound the audience, but a big-budget look at what we can create using something that will never go idea.
    Cobb, with the aid of his associate Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) pull together a team to help infiltrate the mind of Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy). The team consists of Ellen Page as the architect (creating the dream world) Ariadne, expert forger Eames (Tom Hardy) and Mr Saito (Ken Watanabe), the business man trying to remove the competition of dissolving Fischer's fathers corporation, through Inception. While stunning visuals, epic set pieces and superb storytelling are all a-plenty, its the source which created these excellent moments that is the most wonderous part of the film, the unique, mind-provoking, yet simplistic plot of dreaming. It's all a wonderfully scripted puzzle which we, the viewer, must piece together, make us think and question what we believe to be real.
    It's also the way in which its portrayed onscreen that they are trying to tell as if we should already know that this is all possible, they don't overkill the idea, they simply remind us that it could be a dream.
    Christopher Nolan doesn't try to simplify his film at all, he merely wants the viewer to grasp its concept and think what they will for themselves.
    DiCaprio puts in a stellar performance as Cobb, he brings the sense that his character has been there too long at what he does and portrays this through his avoidance at direct open ended conversations with Ariadne, who suspects the whole operation could be blown due to Cobb's unwillingness to let go of his wife Mal (Marion Cotillard).
    Spectacular set-pieces set up a thrilling finale to this outstanding tale, and what culminates in the story will be seen as a cliff hangar to some, but a sense of closure brought about by excellent storytelling and convincing performances from the ensemble cast , Inception definitely asks the viewer to think about it for a while, and even then you still might not be able to explain what exactly you seen, but that it definitely needs to be planted in your subconscious.
  79. Jan 27, 2012
    Inception is visually dazzling and original and fantastically entertaining. And it features acceptable performances, but I can't help but feel the whole idea of the film gets lost in the main characters own dreams. I give this film 76%.
  80. Dec 8, 2011
    I think this move is really incredible. To make up an entire different world, with 4 layers of a dream, is something a few directors can do. And Chris Nolan does extremely well. The way he builds up the excitement, and manage too keep you confused, yet still on the edge of your seat, since you have no idea, what's going to happen. Usually when i watch sci-fi / action movies like this one, i tend to get "bored" through-out the talking parts. But even second and third time i watched Inception, none of the talking bored me. I also think this might be Leo's best movie so far, I think he was perfect for the role, and this probably the first time, I've seen a movie, where i couldn't think of anyone better fit to the role. The soundtrack was amazing too, but what else can you expect from Hans Zimmer. Over all, I think far the best movie this year, and it's definitely a must-see. Expand
  81. Dec 15, 2011
    Once every so often there is a film which just takes the breath away from all who watch it and inception is by far one of those films. The story line and concept is truly remarkable and sounds like something you would learn in A-level physics. The director (Christopher Nolan) has made another oscar winner along with the dark knight and batman begins. Yes the film isnt a easy-watch by any means and it runs for a meaty 148 minutes but it is 148 minutes of: clever plot, sensible action scenes,superb acting from di caprio and put all that together and you have the greatest film of 2010 Expand
  82. Jan 24, 2014
    This is one movie that when I walked out I felt I just experienced a rare classic action/thriller. In Nolan's best movie to date Inception is the next Matrix.
  83. Dec 19, 2011
    Very complicated movie for some people. It's also very entertaining and good for a weekend movie. Nice scifi blast and complicated and interesting stoyry. Just rent it, you'll propably like it.
  84. May 2, 2012
    "Inception" Is the ideal movie to watch on 1080p bluray for an extreme-kindly-logic adventure to the three layers of inception to two man's mind, and each one of them is full with secrets that have long wait to be revealed.
    After two hours of the movie, I was sure it went only 1 minute from my life, and I believe in some point, that the movie has managed to plant the seed deep in my mind,
    truly a great idea for the perfect movie. Expand
  85. Jan 15, 2012
    The movie is definitely the most thought-provoking film I have seen in a long time as its entertainment value extends much further than the two hours spent watching the piece. The encompassing concept of the film is simple: dreaming; however, Nolan takes this human capability to the limit, creating a world in which people can dream lucidly whenever they please, share said dream (via machine), and craft their surroundings to their imagination's extent--literally. The movie begins with introducing this world to the audience as main characters Cobb (DiCaprio) and Arthur (Gordon-Levitt) are busy at work within a crumbling dream, attempting to extract information from mark Mr. Seito. The scene introduces the nature of dreams, the conflict between Cobb and Mal, and of course--the infamous concept of dreaming within a dream. The film develops smoothly, introducing new characters and their roles in the inception ploy, and it makes clear the ultimate goal of incepting an idea into the mind of Robert Fischer, a nascent world power. Characters Ariadne and Arthur exemplify paradoxes and real-time dream construction and Cobb and Mal's dreamscape is explored, showing the intricacies and scope of dream potential; I'll refrain from attempting to detail dream physics in Inception. The film culminates to an exciting-yet-mentally taxing conclusion which leaves many puzzled and yearning for answers; however, after a wikipedia search or two or perhaps a second viewing, MOST of your questions will be answered... Regardless, It is my favorite ending of any movie (aside from The Sixth Sense-- seriously, who saw that coming?) despite the many questions I have yet to find the answer to. Hours I have spent contemplating this film, its themes, and how they may be applied to reality, or a lack there of, and I give this a 9 in that no other movie has had such an effect. The fact I cannot find answers to my questions/potential plot holes (How exactly do the deaths of Seito and Fischer work? If the world with crumbling buildings is Cobbâ Expand
  86. Jan 16, 2012
    Nolan isn't afraid to dream a little bigger...

    Anticipators called it the movie event of the year. Sceptics called it the unnecessary cash-in following the insurmountable success of Nolan's earlier endeavour. I assure you, believe the hype. One of the most ambitious films in contemporary cinematic history, Inception engages its audience right from the opening scene like few other films
    before it. Everybody delivers their A-game in a movie that draws inspiration from Memento, The Dark Knight, Ocean's Eleven, James Bond and The Matrix (to name a few) yet remains powerfully original throughout.

    Without giving too much away, the film's protagonist Dom Cobb, a world-class thief with the ability to steal secrets directly from the dreams in which they are locked away, is asked to do the opposite: implant an artificial memory in the mind of a major corporate player, in exchange for the clearing of his tarnished name. From there Nolan leads us through a complex world of metaphysical creation; dreams- within-dreams, if you will. Indeed, it is the director's guiding yet stern hand that applies mind-bending depth to this film. By this I mean that, yes, we are required to pay extreme attention to the story at all times, but are aptly rewarded with an expertly-crafted conclusion that literally leaves your heart pounding and your head questioning the true meaning of the film long after the closing credits.

    Nolan has already proved himself an excellent director, and Inception has ensured his legendary status. But, for the film to be considered truly great, it would have to be driven by Dicaprio. This is his best opportunity to stand up and be counted among the greatest actors going around today, and he delivers in a big way. He portrays an inconceivably complex character in Cobb with such passion and professionalism that it really is a toss-up whether the Academy will nominate this, or another troubled role as Shutter Island's Teddy Daniels, as the vehicle towards his first independent Oscar. Not since The Godfather has such a standout lead performance been matched, if not overshadowed, by an equally brilliant supporting cast. Hardy, Watanabe, Murphy, Cotillard and Caine all act with poise, but honourable mentions must go to Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page. As Cobb's right-hand man, Gordon-Levitt shares the comic-relief responsibility with Tom Hardy, but never overplays his hand. Instead, he gives off an air of utter confidence and capability, taking a role supposedly reserved for Christian Bale and making it his own.

    Page plays Ariadne (alias: The Architect), the new kid on the scene who acts as the audience's window into this practice of inception. Once the introductory details are dealt with, however, her character is quickly developed into one that has great impact on the mission at hand. She adapts very smoothly in a role that couldn't be more different to her breakout role in Juno, showing exceptional versatility and a promising career in the future.

    Initially, I was reluctant to give this film the score I did because of a lapse in the dialogue department for most of the first hour. However, in retrospect, this aspect alone should not warrant a drop in the score considering there was no appropriate alternative available to the filmmakers at that point. This minor gripe of mine is swiftly swallowed up in a parallel world of grand cinematography, engaging plot and mental manipulation of the highest degree. You'll never look back on your dreams the same way again.

  87. Jan 3, 2013
    Good acting by the cast (absolutely loved Tom Hardy), It looks great, and it kept you interested from start to finish. I only watched it once and I had no problems understand the concept of inception or it's plot so anyone who is confused by it clearly failed to pay attention. It's a good movie.
  88. Mar 13, 2014
    Christopher Nolan's foray into independent blockbuster territory is a complex, definitely ambitious and more importantly a thought provoking film that might leave you scratching your head at the end but rest assured is a very satisfying metaphysical experience. A standing testimony to why the thinking man's Hollywood blockbuster isn't dead, not as long as we have a Nolan and a Cameron.

    You are not going to get much better than this. Nolan's "Memento" was a masterpiece but this isn't far behind if behind at all. You do need to contrate to keep up with the levels in the film because Nolen (as usual) doesn't presume his audience are imbeciles. The visuals are also stunning but for plot, ingenuity, intrigue and sheer watchability, this is cinema at its best.

    INCEPTION is a brilliant and entirely original film from the director of MEMENTO and THE DARK KNIGHT. It explores the fantastic world of dreams and what lies between in an elegant and complex crime caper that will capture your attention and imagination several times over. Nominated for 8 Academy Awards.

  93. Mar 9, 2012
    I thought this was massively over-rated. DiCaprio was unlikeable as always, as were some of the other main characters. The action was mediocre and I generally felt it was just going through the 'Hollywood action movie' paces. Even the soundtrack was predictable and began to grate. Nice idea, but poorly realised. Why DiCaprio keeps getting tough guy alpha male roles I will never understand.
  94. Jun 1, 2012
    Well i know this movie has been out a while now but i saw some of the reviews on here and really can't believe it. For one what is so difficult to understand? They tell you everything you need to know in the movie. The only thing you should be questioning is the ending as far if he is in a dream or in reality. Other than that I don't see how many movies could deserve a 0....especially one with such high production values as this. This movie is an enjoyable journey, well acted, especially the scene stealing Tom Hardy. I honestly do feel bad if you don't enjoy this movie because I believe it to be one of the better of recent history. Expand

    First off, this would be a 9.5 out of 10. Visuals are outstanding, and the action sequences are mind-blowing. They are outstanding to watch. Acting is good to. Leo does a good job. Score is outstanding. Some of the best music well directed by Hans Zimmerman. Story is also really good. Kind of a cliffhanger at the end. Christopher NOlan never disappoint, especially with this one. One of his best films. Overall, everything is well done. It's really mind bending as the film progress that its just so good. You should really see this movie. Expand

    Very epic, unique and action packed movie. Its truely a gem, though true it can get a tad bit confusing, all you have to do is look and listen carefully. People that rate this lower than 7 cause they didnt understand the plot must seriously have low IQ, sorry but its true. The plot was amazing, though the character development wasnt top notch, the movie is about manipulating dreams, using imagination as your weapon. Expand
