Director: Christopher Nolan
Note: There are no spoilers here.
Inception is a terrifically inventive film, showcasing Christopher Nolan's talent for building fully fleshed out worlds. I am hoping, rather hopelessly, that this does not inspire a wave of imitators, but I am almost sure that it will. Nolan locates his film in a place that no one has really tried to do in this full a fashion, and pulls it off with a minimum of hokeyness and a minimum of exposition.
Ideally, this should have been two films, but unfortunately films with this kind of budget need to be brutally successful; they cannot pussyfoot around with greatness. Perhaps two films would have ruined things - the Wachowski brothers built an incredibly elegant house of cards with the opening film to the Matrix trilogy, then spent the remaining two films piling on more cards until it all collapsed.
