Inception - Movie Review (A Christopher Nolan Film)

[@NEEKNerdGeek]

One of my favorite movies of all time

[@MovieMicah]

Top 10 for sure

Me too

[@ani-po1td]

Even my favourite

[@jeremymuhr8177]

christopher nolan+hans zimmer= perfection

[@aah3703]

Truth. This is my favorite movie of all time. And Time is my favorite song of all time. Coincidence?? I think not.

[@asifkhan4822]

AA H Me too I love that score, it's the best one in the entire 🍿.

[@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

[@SaurianStudios1207]

Inception, the movie that created the whole “thing within a thing” meme

[@deffonotluke]

As well as "bwaaaaaaa"

[@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

[@LakshyaJain533]

Exactly

[@onur_osman]

This film confused me alot. And I love it.

[@ryeguy2256]

A lot of Nolan’s movies do this, the best movies are the ones that leave you thinking when they are the finished...

[@doritochipgamer474]

The internet theories make me even more confused 😂😂😂.

[@OirichEntertainment]

And I don’t love it

[@apecentury228]

How was it confusing?

[@onur_osman]

@@apecentury228 It just was. My brain was frazzled after watching it.

[@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.

[@vedantg3042]

Inception is and will always be my favourite film...This is the film that got me into movies. It is really a masterpiece

[@deffonotluke]

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

[@greg28]

Same!

[@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.

[@sumneetnirankari4098]

It’s hard to believe the film is 10 years old

[@YashSingh-yj3kg]

Its so true, PEOPLE COMPARED THIS TO DOCTOR STRANGE. A movie that came out like 6 years after.

[@ladismakita9583]

@@YashSingh-yj3kg Now it’s 11

[@colinmitchell1276]

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

[@z_6077]

What makes it not flawless lol?

[@colinmitchell1276]

@@z_6077 a bit too much exposition. Most people agree that is the only flaw.

[@z_6077]

Colin Mitchell fair enough

[@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!

[@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!!

[@jetslayer5444]

One of the best films I’ve seen

[@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!

[@jacobdranoff7286]

This is definitely my favorite movie of all time

[@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

[@Jimmy.22]

My favorite KZbinr reviews my favorite movie. Awesome!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@NightwingTV]

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

[@petermad7476]

I just love how easy to understand is 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+

[@noahzubairi3731]

Great review. I love your long in-depth reviews on movies you love.

[@doritochipgamer474]

Just finished the review, one of your best, well done!

[@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.

[@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

[@thesentry6475]

Interstellar and Inception are my favorite Nolan films

[@tonatiuhnino3711]

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

[@ovierdelacruz7158]

Imagine

[@ryeguy2256]

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

[@zekegonzaldi6230]

No chance

[@deffonotluke]

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

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@oso-goodcinema848]

I love your reviews. You teach about the behind the scenes. I always learn something I didn't know before. Then you talk about both sides of the movie the good and the bad.

[@teamrainbow7674]

Sure parts of this movie can be nit-picked but for me it’s one of the most creative, satisfying and just awesome movies ever with one of the best ending of all time

[@deffonotluke]

This will forever by one of my favourite films, this had the same effect on me that Memento had on you of opening up my eyes to what cinema can do

[@whosjmann]

I saw inception a day before you uploaded this, and my god that movie is so good and I can’t get enough of this, keep up the good work

[@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

[@Battlefield3isdabest]

Speech to text 💀

[@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

[@markuskosmo]

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. The last time I watched it was last Wednesday, as it was re-released in theaters, and that was one of my favorite theater experiences ever! I've reviewed it on Letterboxd every time I've watched it. You can find me there at the same name I have here, Markus Kosmo.

[@imbadwithnameslol736]

I’m watching this in Imax tomorrow! I’ve seen it on my smart TV but I’ve never seen it in theatres. I’m so excited!

[@zekegonzaldi6230]

My favorite movie of all time!

[@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

[@camattwood]

For me, the most emotional Nolan film is Interstellar - man, Cooper watching the video letters from Murph. ooof, heartstrings!

[@hajack6588]

Inception is quite possibly the most genius movie of all time

[@rajbhatt7596]

I would give that to 2001:A Space Odyssey

[@Jhordanshmu]

That title belongs to Synecdoche New York way more than Inception

[@hajack6588]

[@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

[@takenboat1]

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)

I wanna become a film director and make profound films . To be brief, I was inspired by Inception. This is a fabulous film that full of ingenuity, tension, interesting plot sequences. By the way, after I had watched the film, I used to have dreams where I was able to control it and was aware that it was a dream. It how a good film can affect audiences.

[@YuvrajHaldankar]

What was the repeating of the line at the end. Was it on purpose?

[@mediamaniac898]

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!
