Review of Inception

Watching Inception I was endlessly intrigued by the plot and the idea of implanting or stealing thoughts through dreams. With the introduction of a new character, Christopher Nolan cleverly explains this idea in a way we can easily understand. Although as it went on I began to tire of the constant revelations by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and after so much going on and introducing so many plot points, you begin to lose sight of why these characters are engaging in this "Inception" in the first place. By the end it almost seems to be a moot point. And I thought Ellen Page was woefully miscast, she just doesn't seem to be on par with any of the other main actors. And without spoiling it, the ending just seems like an insult to the audience after spending more than 140 minutes of our time.

8/10
