All I can say is the writers, director and cast must have had a *LOT* of fun with Inception. Some of the creativity was really out there and just so much fun to enjoy.
Very few movies are worth a 5 out of 5 or even a 4 (in my book). But Inception was easily worth a 5+, it was fantastic! So many movies waste time with filler stuff that has little or no bearing on the movie. Inception didn't waste a single minute, needing every one of it's carefully crafted 148 minutes.
Inception started off a little slower as it needed to build its back story. Basically a little better than an average movie to start, but not an overwhelming beginning. But as it went on the pace picked up and the movie slowly built to a fantastic and fast paced crescendo.
I'm not normally a DiCaprio fan, but he, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe and the others all helped make up a great all star cast.
I'm disappointed that the Oscar voters didn't get this movie. It was so complicated, but that's what made it so mind blowingly good! I'm afraid they didn't follow it because of its complexities.
I was lucky enough to see Inception in the theater and I'm so glad I did. I'd have hated to have had any "home" interruptions or distractions while I was watching it. A job well done to everyone involved!
What's great about it: Entertaining, edge of the seat excitement
What's not so great: Nothing, it's great. Not a wasted minute in Inception.
