Inception: 9.5/10

Christopher Nolan, Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Most people will see this film after hearing the three names listed above, but I was hesitant on viewing this film when I read on imdb that it was oscar worthy and Roger Ebert gave it 4/4 stars. Either this movie is really well done or critics like to overhype overproduced films. And lately, I have been disappointed with the movies released this summer because they were remakes of an original or had popular actors attached to the movie just trying to make more money.

Inception has an original story, amazing cast and a super intricate complex idea that worked. I was hooked from the start of the film and understood everything that was presented on screen and I couldn't predict what was going to happen next.

And does it continue to spin or fall? Is he in reality or is he in another dream dimension? And am I in a dream dimension or am I awake writing this review? How am I suppose to know? This is how the movie ends leaving us thinking about the above questions and if I am thinking about a movie/characters/story after the movie is over, which is rare with movies these days, then it did what most movies these days haven't been able to do, entertain and make people think.

Side note: I had slight difficulty understanding Ken Watanabe because he seemed to mumble his way through some of his lines and I am aware English is not his native language, but overall he did an excellent job with his character.
