[@Penguin2923]

Nolan + Zimmer = perfection Spielberg + John Williams = perfection Two of the greatest partnerships in cinematic history.

[@lukaskonrad463]

The only “bad” thing about this film is that it is filled with exposition. But let’s s be honest, it’s all interesting and needed

[@Robalexe]

The exposition is not even a bad thing. We wouldn't know what's happening without it.

[@Robalexe]

@kavikiru kavikiru Nolan delivered all the needed exposition in the best way possible, as Sean said 6:50

[@Robalexe]

The film would not work if you don't explain the rules, and they're all necessary. You'd be watching a missfire otherwise.

[@Robalexe]

@kavikiru kavikiru I don't know how they could even keep it a secret. And I don't think the audience would be able to piece it together without any information about it, not even the critics. There are still idiots who don't understand the movie even with exposition. There's a fine line between confusing in an interesting way and confusing in a frustrating way. It's easy to say it wasn't all needed after you've seen it, but when you think about it more, it would be a trainwreck to not know what the actual plot of the movie is. No one would be able to figure it out, that's why it is needed exposition. It would be confusing in a very bad way.

[@lukaskonrad463]

Robert Alexe yeah dude I know. What I’m saying is like exposition is typically looked down on as a fault in most movies and in inception it works

[@brandonkoluch5811]

When a movie is so good that the main negative about it is that you can't even remember all the amazing stuff in it

Almost exactly the same as me, glad to see it had the same impact on others

[@greg28]

Same!

[@thegoodprince3264]

This is my favorite Chris Nolan film. It’s also one of my favorite films period. I absolutely love every minute of it. I also weirdly find it the most re-watchable of his films. It has some of his best action, writing, characters, and is just simply a mind blowing film that continues to inspire me more and more to become a filmmaker. I also think this is one of Hans Zimmer’s best scores. It’s tense, pulse pounding, and just brilliant in ways I cannot put into writing. I think it’s just the perfect action movie. The Dark Knight Trilogy has some problems in its action, but this movie perfects that aspect as well as all of the others. All in all, it is definitely my favorite Christopher Nolan film.

[@theupsidedownbrick9618]

i think the reason it’s the most re-watchable film of ios is because it’s so complex and confusing that you notice something new or understand something better almost every time

[@thegoodprince3264]

the upside down brick yeah that’s gotta be it. It’s just a world you want to revisit over and over again so you can really completely understand it.

[@colinmitchell1276]

This movie is nearly flawless. The story, quality, acting, and absolutely action are all brilliant.

[@z_6077]

[@doritochipgamer474]

Hey, a Nolan review! Inception is one of my all time favorites. I recently got this on blu ray, and I still love it. The premise is so interesting, and the plot does so much justice to it. The characters are interesting in their own ways, and Cobb goes on a great journey. The visuals and the effects are so good, and the settings are interesting. This movie is a masterpiece, but it has some illogical moments. Overall, one of the best movies ever made. 10/10, go out and buy it and watch it.

[@thesmellofadventure5370]

I just watched this movie last night and it was crazy. It's complex and mind bending. It's such a creative idea. The ending with the spinning top still has me thinking and was one of the best endings in cinematic history. Words cannot discribe how amazing this movie was. The action was intense, the score was iconic, the cast was great, the visuals were stunning, and the world building is incredible. It's easy to understand. What an experience! The characters are interesting. Joseph Gordon Levitt and Leonardo DeCaprio give there best performances. I'm still mind blown and don't know how Nolan pulled off such an amazing film. Ioved this movie, I give it a 10/10!

[@HeadCannon19]

Inception is probably my favorite movie ever, I can’t wait for Tenet, it looks similar

[@JarenTalksMovies]

Awesome review, Sean! My mind was absolutely BLOWN the first time I saw this film....a month ago!! One of my all time favorites!!

[@ryank278]

Forgive me if I say something stupid, but I think a theme of this movie is regret and learning to let go. Cobb has the different floors of moments he regrets and always plays them over and over. The song 'Non, je ne regrette rien' translates to I regret nothing, which is what Cobb learns to do at the end, let go and regret nothing. He manages to finally move on and find peace.

[@deffonotluke]

I've never thought about it like that, that's a great observation!

[@ryank278]

Thanks!

[@jetslayer5444]

One of the best films I’ve seen

[@davidpaterson4036]

My favorite movie of all time (kind of in a tie with The Dark Knight and 12 Angry Men though). I might actually see it in theaters on Friday.

[@Samdoesstuff978]

That's a coincidence. I rank '12 Angry men ', The Dark knight ', and 'Inception' as the 3 best movies ever made. Though my favorites would be: 1: Baby Driver 2: Lego ninjago movie 3: Revenge of the sith

[@cmzf947]

Inception is without a doubt one of the best movies I have ever seen. While it was incredibly confusing the first time I watched it, each time I watched it after that, it makes a little more sense each time. The cast is absolutely amazing, the standouts are clearly Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, but Joesph Gordon Levitt and Ellen Paige are also great (they all are). This is the first Christopher Nolan movie I ever saw, and it inspired me to go watch his other movies. The story is absolutely amazing and even though there’s multiple stories to follow, it’s still exciting. I just recently showed this movie to my mum and my little brother (I think my mum only saw the final half to be honest), and they both really enjoyed it. For the 10 year anniversary, Inception has been brought back to cinemas in my country and just last Tuesday, my brother went to see this movie with his friends for his 13th birthday in cinemas, and I’m really hoping to do the same this weekend. It’s a fantastic movie and definitely one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@jacobdranoff7286]

This is definitely my favorite movie of all time

[@onur_osman]

I'm about to conclude my Nolan rewatch with Memento, so I thought I'd share my very controversial ranking without it. Every Nolan Film (Excluding Memento): 9.| Insomnia 8.| Dunkirk 7.| The Dark Knight 6.| Following 5.| Batman Begins 4.| The Prestige 3.| The Dark Knight Rises 2.| Inception 1.| Interstellar

[@Jimmy.22]

My favorite KZbinr reviews my favorite movie. Awesome!

[@asifkhan4822]

Inception is a movie on first viewing, I found it completely confusing although on 2nd viewing I found I actually enjoyed a lot more than the first time. I have watched over a dozen times since and there is always something new to find in it. Hans Zimmer score is simply amazing too and is used insync with the films mood. It's a very complex and interesting ambitious movie - it will be interesting to see how Nolan evolved this concept into Tenet 10 years after Inception.

[@gxenick6656]

The effects and cinematography are all fantastic and effective. The score is probably my favorite of the decade. That Mombasa theme is SO fantastic. Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan are a dynamic duo. The acting and characters are played to perfection, and the direction and script are simply phenomenal. One of my favorites. My #2 Nolan film. I do however agree that it’s dreams are a little too simple. I’d easily give it an A+

[@EpictasticJoshua]

Love how informative this review is. Excellent job on the review, Sean. This is what Hollywood should be doing especially in this decade. More original stuff like this.

[@matthewritch4031]

This is easily one of Christopher Nolan's best works, it's an existential film that is a psychological Thriller that is mesmerizing and entertaining to watch while at the same time it doesn't hold the hand of the audience because he knows that they're smart enough to figure all this stuff out on their own. Easily one of the best films of 2010 and of the decade. 95/100. A masterpiece.

[@NightwingTV]

This is just an incredible movie that I still try to figure out the little things. Can’t wait for tenet!

[@palmaceiamovie]

Everything about this movie I love. The score. The script. The actors. But, I could never get why they didn't all that information from those dreams. So the tension wasn't as tension-filled for me. Any else who felt that it was a great movie, but ever could get why they didn't to get into the villain's dream?

[@garfieldarbackle3363]

Which villain exactly are you thinking?

[@okgarlic1812]

I was just wondering if I should watch this movie thanks Sean!!

[@geoffbrookswrestling]

Inception was a beast it drastically changed film making I love Joseph Gordon Levvit his performance is resiculassly the best one of the best of all time. Leo DiCaprios best preformance

[@Filmssentials]

How exactly did it change filmmaking? Also Leo's best performance? How?

[@geoffbrookswrestling]

@@Filmssentials it changed film making becuse of how brillinat and well put together it is it inspired others to use glorious visual effects and i bet you money that the mcu and how ligit the visual effects are is all inspired through inception and plus it is christopher nolans best film so far and that is alot to say look at christopher noalns track record dunkirk, inception , memento, the prestige, all near perfect films and i would give all of those an a- to a+ such great films and it is just my opinion and you dont have to jump on this video and be ready to be rude to others i also fell like that it made people and film makers to think about the plot before just saying it is dumb you have to just actually put thinking into this film and i respect that big time this is a masterpeice and ya i bet you think titanic or wolf of wall street is better i mean i do respect those films but i think leo dicaprio han zimmer and christopher nolan go together like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and leo dicaprio is so precise and as cobb he is a great leader and explains things like the dream to the cast and everyone and also it is so brilliant to make a histe film out of this i mean leo dicaprio isnt in a film like this giving it his all in all in a film every year and plus i could see you being idiotic and thinking once upon a time in hollywood is the best leo dicaprio film i maen they are all godd to an extent i do thouhrolly enjoy that film but i mean nothing lives up to inception and cobb is the most perfect a character can be written in a film and he just is do perfect for this roll but i mean you cant go wrong with inception but i think this could be the most well made movie of all time and dont respond and be a jerk if you dont have anyhinkg nice to say dont say it.

[@Filmssentials]

@@geoffbrookswrestling So you call me idiotic and assume my taste and preference in movies and then have the nerve to say that I shouldn't be a jerk. You didn't answer how it changed filmmaking because Marvel is nothing like this, it's all CGI amd green screen. Inception while being a great film is 80% exposition and 0% characters. Yes Leo was better in Once upon a time in Hollywood because that role required actual acting skills. You seem like a guy who is so in love with Nolan you can't see the man has never created an interesting character that was originally his. Dunkirk was a techincal wonder but failed at everything else, if anyone else other than Nolan made it people would admit it was no good. I don't know if you're very young or simply can't write. Next time spell check and use punctuation.

[@CD-603]

It's not even DiCaprio's best performance of that year.

[@rylan_reviews6493]

I love this movie. It’s my second favorite film behind Dark Knight. I love everything about the film. All the characters are so well developed and likeable. The ending I have rewatched so many times. BWWWWWAAAAAHHH

[@yurrskiiii]

21:46 thats because the dreams from inception are basically lucid dreams because the characters know that are dreaming (most of the time) which means they basically control the whole thing and random wacky things are simply not happening because they dont want it to happen

[@theodemetriades7370]

I feel like Inception is one of the few movies you don’t even need the action to keep the momentum going...I could listen to Cobb and Ariadne sitting in that cafe and talking about the rules of the dreams for hours! the ideas presented are so interesting!

[@priyanshjoon7828]

About the criticism of not flying in dreams - if they do something like that in a dream then the subconscious of their target would know that they are in a dream so they avoid doing something like that

[@oldnbaschool]

Well, those who never seen Inception before should never come back to this video, Sean. There are films that you just need to see as soon they came out.

[@tonatiuhnino3711]

Theory: Robert Pattinson's character in Tenet is Leonardo DiCaprio's son from Inception.

[@ovierdelacruz7158]

Bro that would be crazy if Tenet was a sequel to Inception

[@zekegonzaldi6230]

They've released his character name unfortunately and it's not James. The suspicious thing is only a few character names have been released, something is suspicious about the fact that he is one of the few

Amazing review, Sean! This is my favorite movie of all time, and I''ve watched it 5 times in total since I first watched it on April 1st.

You can find me there at the same name I have here, Markus Kosmo.

[@Battlefield3isdabest]

I truly think this is one of the best films of all time. I guess a common nitpick is that there is too much exposition but the fact that it's done so well and done in an interesting manner. I feel it's not a nitpick for me. With the opening sequence introducing you to the world. I want to know more about the dreams and how they work. The opening scene establishes not only a need but a want for exposition

At the end of this series are you going to rank his films? I think it’s a good idea because I’ve noticed in some of your other videos that certain parts of your ranking has changed(for example, on your ranking you had Dunkirk above Inception, but in your best films of the decade list you put inception at #2 and #1 was Warrior, not Dunkirk)

A+ from Sean?? Well what to say. The movie deserves it.

[@protector_of_the_realms]

It's my favourite Nolan film and in my top 10 films of all time And I agree with your sort of "issues" if you can even call them issues because in itself they can be interpreted as a kind of praise lol. But with the dreams not being as whacky I thought maybe it could be because it's more a state of conciousness similar to a dream rather than one itself. The situations are also designed and structured by an archetict so it's easier for them to do their job. I mean if it was unpredictable and indane as our real ones are it'd be pretty hard to manipulate and achieve their goal. And it's also made possible by technology which would make the craziness of what can be created by the human mind a bit harder to replicate

[@jackethanc]

Love Inception so much. Possibly my favourite of Nolan’s films. Hoping Tenet delivers in many of the same ways. P.S I’m seeing Tenet in 2 days!!! Can’t believe the wait is almost over!

Sean, I owe you an apology. A very big apology. Yesterday, I said something rather embarrassing about your thumbnail to the favorite moments in each spider-man video. And instead of telling you about it firsthand, I made jokingly comment about it which was in a very bad taste. This comment was not only not funny, but I now find it rather disgusting and it wasn't worthy of being in the comment section so I deleted it yesterday. I have the highest respect for you Sean as a passionate movie lover and more importantly, a very well respected family man. So in the future, I'll be extra careful in what I say in the comment section cause this is an awesome KZbin community with all of your subscribers and I never want to disrespect you or your subscribers. And the dancing scene in Spider-man 3 is one of the best moments in all of the Spider-man movies. LOL. So again I apologize if my comment offended you and if so I meant no harm.

Going to see it with my family this weekend in IMAX for its 10th Anniversary release (of course I’ve seen it). A little overrated perhaps, but it mostly works for me. And yes, I respect its craft more than I actually enjoy it. After all, the lynchpin is yet another Nolan staple: a woman who either is wicked or winds up dead-here, it’s both as she frames her husband for her suicide, which is heavy stuff. But it’s spectacular, and the exposition could’ve been boring, but because they are establishing the rules quickly in this dreamscape, I don’t mind. Not his best film (neither is The Dark Knight), but it’s fantastic. Can’t wait for your thoughts on Tenet, which I will see ASAP, as well as your new ranking!

I like how well made this film is and I do like the characters and the actors acting then. But, it is a little too 'exposition-ny'. I guess I found it a little too hard to follow the plot.
