Inception Review

Affiche Inception I throw myself into the film review for more credence. It’s more my opinion than a criticism.. For this first article of its kind on the blog, I speak about Inception

Director: Christopher Nolan. With: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine

In a world where the technology exists to enter into the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief gets one last chance to return home. This involves the performance of the work the hardest since the beginning of the project.

Honestly I expected a kind of remake of Dark City ! I had a pleasant surprise, this has nothing to do. I find in it the spirit of the Philip K. Dick short stories, who has many adaptations already present on the screen (Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Paycheck la suite sur imdb).

I found the story is well put togetherthe ratio action / story is well proportioned, the VFXs bring something to the film, with beautiful framing and a beautiful view. And more an action scene in ski worthy of James Bond, the temporal relations expressed by the editing are fantastic. This handsome bunch of actors is effective, the characters well incarnated, not too caricatured.

Music no surprise Hans Zimmer is the appointment.

I would not do more analysis, no retail venture out of the suspense. A special mention to the various trailers that do not spoil the surprise at the meeting in the theater. I leave you with one of them if you have not already seen.
