I caught INCEPTION when it was released but didn’t get around to writing about it until now because… well, you know why.
First, thank the gods someone made a decent summer blockbuster for adults. This one wasn’t aimed at the MTV or CW crowd. This one was for adults that can hang on to more than one thought at a time.
Chris Nolan, thank you.
So… obviously I have a few criticisms. While the film was a complex puzzle that was never confusing (again, thanks Mr. Nolan) the movie wasn’t mind blowing. Why? Because its emotional center was as cold as the film was visually precise. It’s something I’ve felt (or “not felt”) from just about all his works except for what I think is still his best film, THE DARK KNIGHT.
In short, yeah it was amazing but I’m still waiting for this guy to blow me away–but I’m glad he keeps trying. Bravo Mr. Nolan.
