Inception

Well I am not a die hard fan of Leo, so for fans who are expecting a huge amount of ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaahs’ might be disappointed. Coming to the movie it took me and the poor man a good 15 minutes to understand what the movie was all about – I strictly protest for a narrative before the scenes start to unfold or fold. It would not hurt the image of the movie if it had an epilogue of what “extraction” or “inception” is all about before the plot thickens.

I cannot give credit to the protagonist for his immense ability of mesmerizing or at least acting. On the other hand, I found the concept quite intriguing – who can think of weaving such a complex mixture of frames from dreams? The editing and special effects in the movie were awesome; especially when the movie comes to an abrupt end before the top stops (or not) revolving.

Highlights of the movie include the anti-gravity kick in the elevator and the run in of water when the white van touches the river in the end. The editing and clarity of the image magnifies the situation and the magnanimous set is glorified with the story line. I would not know who else would have made justice to the character other than Leo but he certainly is not my favourite for this kind of screenplay which is quite heavy and complicated.

It certainly is worth watching once but I would not bother to view it again just to understand the plot when there is Wikipedia on my fingertips.
