If you believe in the voting on major movie websites, Inception is the highest rated maze movie of all time. Do I need to write anything after that ? ok…
Inception (2010) IMDB
At the time of this writing this is the highest rated Science-Fiction movie of all-time on IMDB. It won 4 Oscars, and although it didn’t win, it was nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. It has won 159 awards and was nominated for 220 awards according to its IMDB page. So, does this need a review ? No, it is outstanding.
But what is the movie about and how are mazes involved ? Well, the movie revolves around a group of thieves go into dreams to steal corporate ideas from the minds of people. This time they need to plant an idea in a CEO’s head during a dream (what they call an inception). To do this they will need to circumvent the maze of subconscious dream worlds they’ve created - a dream world within a dream world within a dream world. Sounds like that will be easy to execute. This is a solid script, well acted (packed full of stars Leonardo DiCaprio,
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine, Tom Hardy, Tom Berenger, Marion Cotillard, E. Page and Ken Watanabe), well shot, well paced, has great special effects and multiple outstanding action scenes. One of things that make this movie so loved is the concept and premise. This is not a story concept you have ever heard of before. You will not be guessing what is going to happen next because you have not seen this before.
And the ending !!! Perfect. 9.5/10. Thank you Christopher Nolan.
