Movie Review: "Inception"
****** out of *****
Yes, I know it's 6 out of 5 stars, bear with me, it's that bloody good.
This was the movie of the summer that everyone was raving about, but I didn't get a chance to see on the big screen, and now I wish I had. Might get the DVD and watch it sometime on our flatscreen downstairs, since there are some visual shots that need a big screen to be appreciated.
It's like the George Clooney version of "Ocean's 11", with hints of every "What is real...?" movie from the past twelve years, from David Cronenberg's "eXistenz" (layers within layers reality), "The Thirteenth Floor" (the hazards of surfing between layers of reality), "Dark City" (bendy urban landscapes), to -- of course -- "The Matrix" (gravity-warping stunts that dovetail into and define the movie's philosophical premise). There's even a little bit of "Blade Runner" in there too.
I wanna see it again. Soon.
