Inception is EASILY my most anticipated film of the summer. Check that, this has been my most anticipated film of the year. I’ve been talking about it since I started this blog and have been intrigued from the start. I don’t have a clear view of what it’s all about, but it seems to be the love child of Dark City and Dreamscape.

The Director

Christopher Nolan simply has not made a bad movie. Following, Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight — all truly amazing films. Nolan is able to bring intellect into the mainstream, which is a fine tightrope to walk on.

The Cast

Mr. DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Goron-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Lukas Haas, Michael Caine — this cast is unbelievable. Not only does it tout the future of Hollywood’s Power Actors (Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page) it also has some of the best actors in the game (Leo DiCaprio and Michael Caine).  This cast should prove to you that this film is at least worth a shot.

The Music Score

Get ready to be pounded in the skull by Hans Zimmer once again. Just like he did with Dark Knight, the score is pulsating, nerve wracking, and perfect.

The Story

Who knows?! And that’s what’s so great about it. This is a summer blockbuster film opening in July. Watching the trailers, reading the synopsis, it doesn’t matter…this film looks bat-shit crazy. Dreams…subconscious….stealing….whatever. This is going to be amazing and the less I know (a rare feat with films) the better off I am.

Watch the trailer and see if you agree with me.

By the way, the last line took me 10 times to break through that accent. When they are shooting the gun, Tom Hardy says “We mustin be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.” Fantastic.
