Inception: The Review.

Go see it.

Ok, that is a cop out, but seriously its my favorite film of the year. Yes, it beat Kick-Ass (which comes to DVD next month CHECK IT OUT!).

I don't want to explain the plot to you at all. It does you a disservice and I believe film review should be more about giving a person a reason to be interested in the film, rather than being a smart ass who analyzes the film while calling it a review. Of course I do that quite often, but I know how to break the rules. Usually I do that because a film sucks balls, and I need to explain why. When a film is flippin' amazing I don't need to do that, except to maybe clarify details of the film that may stand in your way for wanting to see it.

The most I'll say is I haven't felt this way since the Matrix, its the most creative film I have seen in years, and it has tons of layers. This is something I'm super interested to analyze, but I wouldn't pass that off as a review.

I will say this, there is a lot going on in this film, and while you can understand all you'll need to enjoy it, like any good art there are layers worth looking at. If someone says they didn't get this, I'm sorry but you are either ADD, dumb, or got up to take a piss. I know some people are like 'I can't even take a piss during this film' but dude, unless you are at home with a pause button, you should not be able to walk out of any film for any length of time and return and have the film be slowing getting to its next point.

If this is you, go ahead and help Michael Bay buy his next private jet, stop commenting on smart films and influencing opinions. Movies aren't supposed to be easy all the time, and this one isn't even going out of its way to be obtuse but people seem to think it is. The main plot is easy to follow, the subtext you have to dig for, and like all great works of art its all up for discussion as to what it means. That is what people don't get, what does it mean? Stop thinking about what the director wants to tell you, and start thinking about what it means to you.

Now visually I think this movie is without equal this year, its amazingly creative, exciting and just blows your mind, not just because crazy shit is happening, but because of why its happening (imagine a action scene, within a action scene, within an action scene) I can't imagine the kind of creativity it took to dream these scenes up, not just the concept but how to do it with out resorting to bad CGI fakery.

Not saying its not CGI all, but the important thing is that it only is when is has to be, and not 'oh how to get a guy to bounce around the room' ' ummm just animate it', I'm sorry but humans shouldn't be CGIed, it almost always looks awful, and if you do, Mo-cap it (like Lord of the Rings) but only as a last resort.

Anyway, final review 5/5, see it in theatres possibly Imax if available (but only if you can get good seats, because if you get to close in Imax movies are unwatchable).
