Inception is one of those movies that doesn't come around often. The whole movie fits together so well, and does every aspect from good to amazing. The plot is intricate but not overly complex, the characters original, the visual effects amazing, etc. the broken down review:
- Plot: 10/10. The premise is completely original, the movie has you hooked for its entire duration. The pacing is excellent, the plot unfolds and develops beautifully. Nolan has shown he is very good at non-linear timelines and complex plots, and shows it once again with Inception.
- Characters 9.5/10. the characters are likable, each in their unique way, and all different from each other. The movie generally avoids the overused typical types used in some other movies and there is good character development. Some details are left vague but I think this adds to the movie's plot and feel. - Visual effects and presentation: 10/10. The visual effects are incredibly slick and very well integrated in the movie,giving Inception a unique feel and scope. The cinematography is also very well put together, with some truly excellent scenes in the movie. The sound is also great. - Lasting appeal: 10/10. I have watched Inception many times and still am not tired of it. I know I will keep watching it many more times years from now, and so far every time I've watched it I was just as hooked, just as into it, and it was just as good.
