This is one edge of the seat moviea that you will have to hang on to the moment it begins. Nolan must have a cruel sense of humor when he wrote, directed and produced this movie. Anyone who likes his works previously; Memento, Batman Begins and The Prestige will know what to expect. A total mindfuck.
This movie doesn't give you any time to think or react to the thrill that seem to be overflowing like volcanic lava. Just as you are able to grasp one idea of what dreaming is all about, another concept is thrown in to confuse you and make you feel like an idiot.
There are moments when I thought Nolan couldn't pull through without being predictable but he proved me wrong. The scenes that leave you gasping for air, for more, are just amazing and they hit right between your eyes before you can even blink. So prepare yourself, watch on a big screen with fantastic sound effects, clear your bladder for the 148 minutes long feature and sit back to be overwhelmed.
The are bits of The Matrix, Dark City, The Cell, Paprika and Brainstorm (1983 film) in it but it is still one heck of a ride into the twisted mind of Nolan. Some of the best scenes for me is the one with Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page at a sidewalk cafe, Ellen Page reconstructing the world, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's fight scene in the corridor and the inter cutting scenes towards the end.
After the movie I realized the audience were all struck dumb in a daze for words or descriptions about how they felt about the movie. Like I said, it must be Nolan's secret subliminal hypnotism to make us all think how he wants us to think.
There is also one small trivia of Edith Piaf.
8/10
