I went into this movie expecting quite a lot from Inception. It delivered and then some.
The special effects were amazing and the story was a TOTALLY new concept, at least I’ve never heard or thought of it. Interestingly the movie was sort of like Terminator Salvation in that it seemed as though they wanted us to pay attention to Leonardo DiCaprio and Ken Watanabe, but really Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy really stole the show. throughout the movie I kept thinking about how bad ass Eames and Arthur were. This is not to say that Ken Watanabe and Leonardo DiCaprio were not thoroughly amazing in their roles, they were quite amazing.
This movie will definitely do well, I really loved it and so did my girlfriend. I am more of a scifi hardcore addict and my girlfriend is a romantic comedy girl. This movie seems to somehow tailor to a wide array of audiences. It is not like the normal hardcore scifi movies, that I love, but tend to alienate non hardcore scifi moviegoers like Star Trek 7-10. But I must mention that throughout the movie I kept trying to figure out why Tom Hardy looked and sounded so familiar. As it turns out he played Shinzon in Star Trek X (Nemesis). But seriously go see the movie, twice.
And in case you are wondering, I have decided to only mention movies that I actually like on my blog. This is why I am not mentioning such crap as Avatar: The Last Airbender or average fare like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
