More on Inception

Inception is showing the critics’ true colors. It’s a smart film for smart people, not a genius for geniuses, but smart nonetheless. Like a good ol’ healthy math equation, bringing our eloquent, cinematic authority back down to Earth. If you scan Rotten Tomatoes or even Metacritic, the lack of a coherent assessment is alarming, yay or nay. Judgment day, folks, judgment day.

But then again, maybe it’s not their fault. Maybe Inception’s one of those films that transcend the medium itself. More puzzle then cinema.

Either way, I’m impressed, Christopher Nolan. Bravo.

The little plot holes you think up afterwards are cool. For instance, why did Leo perform inception to get his wife to agree to lie on the train tracks? Couldn't he have just shot her? Nolan did a good job though.
