The greatest director of his generation.
Inception was incredible. It was a thought provoking film, with enough action to keep you on edge for the entire movie. Christopher Nolan’s direction and writing were excellent as expected. The man is so consistent with quality films that it is frightening. Memento was just a taste of what Nolan can do. The film could have easily been a disaster given all the leaps back and forward through the timeline, but Nolan managed to pull it off gracefully, and became a rising star in the business. With Inception, Nolan once again introduces a complex story to his audience without scrambling your brains while figuring out what is going on. He also shows off his new visual effects toys, which were used as a storytelling device, and not as a means of flexing technical muscle (a la George Lucas).
That’s all I can give you without out spewing out key parts of the movie. Check out the trailer for Inception below.
