Christopher Nolan's Blockbuster: Inception

I made a point to go into this film and bypassing all critical interpretations. I didn't want to be drawn to its flaws, susceptible to any hype, or biased in any other way. I feel that's the best way to watch movies, especially those that you know you are going to watch and most likely enjoy no matter what you read. However, I didn't go in completely unbiased, I happen to be a huge fan of Christopher Nolan's films (Dark Knight, The Prestige, Memento) and also a fan of DiCaprio and Ellen Page. I also glimpsed a 4.5 star rating in a local newspaper, but anyway, back to the movie.
Without giving too much away or confusing myself or anyone else involved, Inception is a movie about extraditing and at times planting information from and into individuals through dreams which extreme lifelike appearance allowing a deceptive maze of opportunity to derive someone of anything from their vault's code to...well, anything. DiCaprio stars as the troubled master thief of this new method of crime which began as a program set to train and allow military's to experience the very horrors of war without the dying part, pretty good deal really. However, the drawback, there always is one, is that too much dream delving can leave one uncertain of what is in fact reality, along with a couple other drawbacks discussed and shown in the movie. All in all, its a wonderful work of creative effort on Nolan's part in this banal movie age, and he manages to make this movie, somewhat to my surprise, without his usual non-chronologically time-bending flashes through the future and past. To be finished later...as if you were reading this anyway.
