So I saw 'Inception' last night and.....



....it's superb!

One of the most anticipated films of 2010, 'Inception' lives up to the hype; delivering jaw dropping special effects, a complex, gripping and practically flawless storyline as well as multi-layered, well thought-out characters.  Leonardo DiCaprio continues to prove he is one of the best actors of his generation, although his character's back-story in 'Inception' is very similar to that of his character in 'Shutter Island'.  Other notable performances were from Ellen Page, who has never actually been in a bad film and Joseph Gordon-Levitt who finally gets to display what a great actor he is in a mass-appeal feature.

There really aren't many flaws in 'Inception' apart from one or two not-very-noticeable holes in the plot and the fact the technology used by the characters to enter the dreams is never properly explained - which, with the already complex plot, is probably a good thing.  The storyline is nowhere near as hard to understand as some would have you believe, but it will have you trying to fully understand it after leaving the cinema (and I'm sure this is the intention of the films creators).

In case you hadn't guessed, I couldn't recommend 'Inception' enough.  Even if you're not up for watching a film you have to think about, 'Inception' is worth watching for the special effects and cinematography alone - it is a stunningly beautiful film as well as superbly written and acted.  Even if I was in to such things, I'd give it five stars, but I'm not so I won't.  Just go see it!
