Inception

I just came back from the theater and since
I can't fall a sleep anywayI figured I write a
little review on the movie.
I saw 'Inception' the new movie from
Christopher Nolan with Leonardo DiCaprio.
Here is the short intro from IMDB:






Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.


I thought the movie was well made. The story was not as complex as I
thought it would be. After the initial confusion about what is a dream,
the flow of the movie was pretty straight forward. I mean, having seen
movies like The Matrix or Memento, the concept of 'virtual' realities is
not that new. Some of my favorite movies were made by Nolan and this
one is very good, but not great. For me it misses the real blow-your-mind
concept of 'Memento' and the perfect villian vs. hero of 'The Dark Knight'
Still, worth seeing. I give it 4 stars.

Oh yeah, I forgot. The ending was clever. Nuff said.
