When was the last time you had your mind blown by a movie? Because when Inception ends and the lights come up, you’ll be sitting in your seat, staring at the screen, wondering what the hell just happened.
Inception does a difficult thing. It is wholly original, cut from new cloth, and yet structured with action movie basics so it feels like it makes more sense than ( quite possibly) it does.
Nolan blurs the distinction between dreams and reality so artfully that Inception may well be a masterpiece masquerading as a summer blockbuster.
