Inception: A bit out, maybe

#INCEPTION REVIEW

*SPOILER ALERT: This review may ruin the fun for you if you understand it.*

Nolanity:

• Layers of existence
• Noir elements
• Questioning of reality
• Brilliant pacing

Anti Nolanity:

• Relatively linear timeline
• Lack of closure
• Non-retroactive climax

Notable:

• Best gravity-less sequence EVER.
• Yay for teamwork!
• Love Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Cane, Ellen Page (in that order).
• Love Cillian Murphy, even though he’s not a good actor.
• On the fence about Marion Cotillard.
• Still hate Leonardo DiCaprio, even though he’s an amazing actor.

Last Word:

• Not the best Nolan. Both Prestige and Memento are conceptually superior.
• Still, miles ahead of regular Hollywood.
• Special effects are amazing, most realistic to date.
• Limited rewatch value.
