#39. Inception - Review
Although I think Nolan's Inception, a follow-up to literally one of the biggest films of all time The Dark Knight, is an exciting twist on blockbuster filmmaking, I do recognize it is not a perfect film. The incredible action, mind-bending premise, and amazing special effects almost makes up for the fact that there is basically no character development, some pretty serious plot holes (Why doesn’t Cillian Murphey’s character not recognize Saito? Or how does Saito know at the end of the film if the inception actually worked or not?), or the fact that Ellen Page’s Ariadne is basically an exposition automaton simply employed to provide explanation for the audience.
That being said, Inception is a lot of fun, and there is far more to appreciate than denigrate. Joseph Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy continue their rise to superstardom, and I absolutely love Ken Watanabe in everything he does. I’m not going to talk much more about Inception, if for no other reason (Like The Dark Knight) I just don't have much more to say that hasn’t already been said. I wanted to post some of my favorite Inception inspired poster and artwork from around the web. Some of these are pretty fantastic, and if you are like me than you are a huge fan of the minimalist movement taking over the poster scene. Enjoy
