//Inception // was a PG 13 movie that came out July 16, 2010. It was highly anticipated for its bold previews and for a relatively minor concept that they blew up for an entire plot, dreaming. The movie in its opening week produced about 63 million dollars on the 3792 screens it was shown on, and about 300 million total. __“ Here is a movie immune to spoilers: If you knew how it ended, that would tell you nothing unless you knew how it got there. And telling you how it got there would produce bafflement.” __ This was a quote from a man named Roger Ebert. I believe this movie is exactly how he describes it. In just about any other movie, you can tell somebody how it ends, you could reveal plot details that ruin everything. Like //Shutter Island//, for example. The movie leads you in one direction for the entire length of it, but then jerks you in another way to end it all. Telling somebody how it twists at the end would ultimately ruin everything. That is completely untrue for a movie like //Inception//. Nearly every detail is crucial to the plot line, and if you don’t witness the details as they happen, you will miss out on the whole movie. My favorite thing about the movie though is; even if you catch every detail, even if you understand how the movie is progressing, you need to actually stop and think about what is going on. The first time I watched it, I thought I understood it to an extent, then I watched it again, and I learned even more that I had previously missed. __“The movie is all about process, about fighting our way through enveloping sheets of reality and dream.”__ The movie does have its flaws admittedly. One example would be how difficult it is to really understand. Most people aren’t too enthused to watch a two and a half hour film once, much less twice because they missed something and didn’t understand.  __“Inception is a shoot 'em up masquerading as a thinking person's sci-fi film.”__  Another reoccurring problem I have with the movie is that it tends to go with a senseless killing, grenade chucking, guns blazing kind of theme at some times. That means //Inception//, randomly branches off into unnecessary scenes where everyone is really just fighting with each other. While some films strive to be like that, Christopher Nolan did a fairly decent job of keep his film centered on the plot. Thankfully, aside from those two mostly minor details, the movie doesn’t do much other then impress. Personally, I would recommend this movie to anybody who wants to see an action film, with a deeper, intellectual side. Without any doubt, this film will make you think. If it doesn’t then you are definitely missing out on something. Overall I would rate this a 8.5 out of 10. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
