Movie #294 "Inception" is probably the most unusual film of the 294 I have done for this year's movie blog so far. It's probably one of the most puzzling, as well. There's no doubt of the quality of the film (and we saw it in IMAX, too --- but it still would have been well done without that) , and the acting and script are also two pluses. But I can fault it with the amount of minutes spent on shooting/fighting/all around mayhem and violence ---- I wanted to stand up and shout "enough" --- I got it. For being billed a "cerebral" film, why did it have to fall back on all of that rigamarole? Oh, maybe because that 10 year old that liked the ending of "Avatar" would enjoy those parts of this film, as well? Other than that, I enjoyed seeing this cast working together on a layered (excuse the pun) script, including: DiCaprio (who still is one of my favorites), Ellen Page (definitely one of my favorites) , Joseph Gordon-Levitt(how can I not like this guy when he stars in most of the indies) and Marion Cotillard (becoming one of my favorites since "Nine"). I recommend this film to many more people than that 12 year old because they would like the " majority" of the film, I think!
Average rating: 4.535
I give it 4 stars
Inception
(2010) PG-13
Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) cuts a deal with Saito (Ken Watanabe) and agrees to use his ability to enter people's dreams for a special assignment involving business titan Robert Fischer Jr. (Cillian Murphy). Along for the labyrinth-infused ride is Cobb's new mind "architect," Ariadne (Ellen Page). Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy, Tom Berenger and Dileep Rao also star in this sci-fi thriller from writer-director Christopher Nolan.
