Inception: Go See It

07.19.10

This movie has the gravity of a black hole and you will be absorbed into it if you see it in an IMAX theater.  I had very few expectations for it other than some trailors and commercials that I had seen that really didn’t tell what the movie was about.  However, my brother-in-law was so enthralled by the film that he wanted to see it the next night with me and my wife – so we did.  It is a mental mind-job movie that wastes little time but allows you to follow the progression.  I really don’t want to say much more, but I think if people have the opportunity, they should go see it.

Here are some reviews (spoilers included), but read after you watch:
