Inception (2010)
10/10
This is one of the most brilliant films ever made.

I won't describe the plot, I won't describe the characters, I won't describe anything about this movie. You've seen advertisements for this movie. They are freaky, complex, mind-bending, but nothing in these advertisements make sense, and they won't until you actually see the film.

Nevermind the visuals of the film. They are not even the most effective thing of this film. Granted though, they are a spectacular sight, and I never thought for one second I was looking at actual CGI. That's SUPER effective. Nevermind the acting in the film. However, I never once thought I was actually watching people act, I actually thought I was looking at something real. The most effective point of the film is an idea, an idea that takes our brains for a wicked little spin. This idea entertains us, intrigues us, and plays fun little games with us. It's a sheer delight.

A lot of people are going to ask "Is this film better than Nolan's The Dark Knight?" In my personal opinion, yes. This is his best film, and it is better than "The Dark Knight", which was a masterpiece itself. I'm proud to say that "Inception" is a step up. For those who are looking for something simple, something plain, and something that won't require a grand extent of their brain power, they will get bored with "Inception". This is an adult film in the regard that it requires your full attention, and your brain must be plugged into it, or you are going to miss it ALL OF IT.

I believe that this film definitely deserves a place for the "Best Picture" nomination at the Oscars this year, along with more recognition to Nolan as a director and a writer, for he has made the most original film I have probably seen in a very long time. His writing is impeccable. His direction is brilliant. His movie is the ultimate masterpiece.

Inception is the smartest $160 million dollars that a studio has ever spent to make a film. It was also the best $7.50 I have ever spent. Bravo.
