Inception is about a band of thieves that slip into your mind while you dream and steal your secrets. At its core it is a heist movie... sort of. This time around, rather than being hired to steal a secret, they are to implant one.
I sat down in the theater and prepared to have my mind thoroughly fucked, but it never happened. The movie talks about mazes a lot, yet the plot is pretty simple. I was expecting a lot of fancy wonder, which there was some of, but not enough. In a movie about dreams, you expect to see stuff in dreams, like, I don't know, an elephant just chilling in the middle of the crosswalk. Last night, I had a dream about a ghost hopping across my ceiling and leaving cartoon style foot prints all over the place. Weird, I know, but it seemed logical at the time. The dreams in Inception are, for the most part, just like reality.
The directing, acting, and writing were all fine, neither outstanding nor terrible except for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who seems to always be awesome.
3.5 stars and some encouragement to wait until DVD
