Chris Nolan‘s Inception is the type of movie where you need to see it from start to finish in order to have a firm grasp of how brilliantly awesome it is. In fact, no matter how many times I say ‘It’s awesome!‘, it’s not even going to amount to anything close to how awesome it is in reality. 
It’s not even about the obvious stunning visual effects and the flawless execution of the film. To me, it all boiled down to the story itself which is by far, the most original one I’ve seen in a while. Put that together with a superb cast and the same director that gave birth to The Dark Knight and you have yourself one epic film that deserves a spot on your DVD collection.
It was a little reminiscent of The Matrix but showed more depth and complexities, but it’s not that TOO complex that you’ll be left scratching your head at the end. The entire thing felt like a dream that I wouldn’t mind not waking up from. The awesome visuals merely supported a plot that was well executed and conceptualized. Nolan wouldn’t have to worry about matching the success of The Dark Knight because this has clearly surpassed his previous masterpiece.
If you’re only allowing yourself to watch at least one movie a month, then this gets a very strong recommendation from me. To hell with The Last Airbender! Save yourself the trouble of tormenting yourself with everyone else’s review about the movie because it’s all going to be the same, see for yourself but like all other movies, let go of great expectations.
Seriously, watch it as soon as you can. It doesn’t matter if you’re alone because you probably wouldn’t even notice the people sitting beside you.

Inception is a must-see!!!!! I’ll be waiting for your review also! :3
Well, Sorcerer’s was okay. It was better than expected, to say the least. Haha.

Pure awesomeness!
What did you think about the totem at the end? Did it stop? :p
I AGREE! ANG GANDA! It’s my new favorite movie, replacing Tong Tatlong Tatay Kong Pakitongkitong.
Di ko pa napapanood yan, may mga invites ako kaso busy-bisihan..i read great reviews, must see i guess.
Yep. Definitely a must-see for this year. =)
Hey Creative Dork,
I was researching about the movie Inception and I found your review.
Great review, I totally agree – it was awesome! I link your review in my site at http://myfabself.blogspot.com/2010/08/movie-review-inception.html
tc!
Wow… thanks for linking back to this article! My review was very spontaneous and over the top but I’m glad you liked it. Hahaha.
Now I’m really torn between Mr. Nolan’s Memento and Inception! Urgh!
The loved the concept of the totem and how it was used differentiate reality from a dream…
