Inception

To those who have seen it, what did you think of it?
It's really hard to talk about it without spoiling it.
I'd have to say, and this is being completely honest, in the last ten years I haven't seen a movie this original in story. The innovation in its concept alone, is stunning. The artwork behind making the dreams up, the costuming (not far off from "The Matrix"--first one obvs--) and the cinematography was all absolutely tremendous. The originality behind the screenplay, to me, proves that Hollywood isn't just puff and smoke and finely sharpened pieces of glittery confetti. The Shit Factory can pump out summer Blockbuster sequels and adaptations, but supporting good, creative, original, films like this is incredibly important or else we'll be trapped in the "Sequel/Remake Box" forever and ever.
There are great, original, concepts out there and "Inception" is one of the best ones I've seen.
It took the entire credit reel, drive home, and the next day, for the entirety of the film to sink in.
I'm going again on Tuesday night to Imax.
