I caught Inception today and I have to say, it's a rather amazing piece of cinema as well as being a wonderful story. I agree with Roger Ebert's 4-star rating. It's the best film I've seen in quite a long time and the one movie you'll be talking about with your friends for weeks.
No spoilers here, but I will say this is a movie you want to see in the theater. The sad part is like last year's District 9, Inception is that rarity in Hollywood these days: an original work, not a sequel, not a remake of a film from decades past, not a retread of a Boomer pop culture icon or SNL skit, not an 80's TV show or a live action cartoon, not a reboot of a franchise and not the American version of a foreign smash either.
Most of all it accomplishes what a truly great summer flick should do: it's a hell of a ride AND it makes you think. See it with people whose opinions you respect, which is as far as I'm concerned, the highest accolade you can give a movie.
