    MINDBLOWING!
    I can't believe how good this movie was! It has been on my watchlist for a long time, and I can say now that this is one of the most defining movies of all time. All acting was amazing along with the mind-bending special effects. Every part of the plot is intriguing and doesn't feel boring at all, and for a 2h 30m runtime, it didn't feel like that at all. Pacing done right. I loved the concept of how the characters delved into a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. The convincing of Fischer (Cillian Murphy) was insane. The idea planted in his mind to break up his father's company was the icing on the cake as that was the result of all the blood, sweat, and tears put into the effort by the crew to create it. Really cool ending, too, but the spinning top was definitely going to fall, you can tell at the last second it began to falter.

    The pinnacle of science fiction
    With a movie like this, there's a lot to get into, but my claim requires a lot. Starting off, the writing. It science-fictionizes the idea of lucid dreaming and gives it new rules, doing so with an airtight plot. The main character, Dom Cobb is one of the deepest and most interesting I've seen in a film, and Leonardo Dicaprio gives a near career-best performance to help complete one of the most psychologically ambitious films. The amount of detail in the process of inception on each level of the dream is astounding, and 10+ watches will all show you a different aspect of it. The side characters are also quite interesting, with great performances by Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, and the rest of the main cast. Eames is cool to watch, as he is a James Bond fan who built his dream after On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Ariadne is also interesting because the character provides a new, unexperienced but inventive look into shared dreams. Nolan is at his height here with the pace as well. For the first part of the movie, my brain always latches on because the laws and ideas that go into shared dreaming are fascinating. The second half consists of high-octane great action sequences that are way better than needed in this type of movie. All of the dreams and different sort of timelines come together in an extremely rewarding climax that sets up my favorite ending of any movie. Also the score by Hans Zimmer is probably the best of his career. I can't think of a way to make this movie better, and it has been my favorite movie ever since I first saw it. Everything in the film, from the dialogue to the set to the visual effects and everything in between is fantastic.
