Inception of a New Genre of Movies

Could barely get a breathing space today after a hectic weekend full of quizzes and assignments. Well this is by no way a sign of resignation from the mores here as we have our mid term coming up at a break neck speed. But today we finally decided to let go off our procrastination and watch Inception, something we have been waiting on for long. The four of us finished off our submissions and hit out of the campus for the 9:30 show at a nearby theatre. I have hardly critiqued a few movies till date which includes the likes of RDB, Lakhsya and few others. But I can't help myself from sharing my views on Inception.

Brilliant! To say the least. The writer-director, Christopher Nolan, has conceptualized the movie in his mind so well that on screen it merely seems as a seamless rendition of his thoughts, rather dreams. Dream sharing or multi stage dreaming has only been spoken of very randomly till date but Inception is a breakthrough in this genre of movies. Unlike Matrix and other movies, Inception though equally complex manages to keep the audience engrossed till the end and ensures complete flow of understanding throughout each events as they transpire in the movie. Moving from dream extractor to dream implanter,Rob- the main protagonist has done a very sharp role. I do not think I am qualified enough to comment anymore. Nolan is one director, whom I admire and especially more after Inception. Having watched Matrix, Hypercube, Cube, and others, Inception has everything blended into it. I am sure, we would have more of this to come. The wait would definitely be worth it!
