Inception Movie Reviews, Pictures. All Critics (290) | Top Critics (44) | Fresh (248) | Rotten (39) | DVD (6) An astonishment, an engineering feat, and, finally, a folly.

Inception is a boldly constructed wonder with plenty of -- as one character describes it -- "paradoxical architecture.
" I found myself admiring the movie's stubborn adherence to its own universe and logic. Nolan, like Cobb, is an assiduous extractor, and he knows how to wow audiences. Inception is the best film of the year and one of the best films of the decade, this is Nolan's masterpiece and it is perfect in every regard. Nolan's eyes here were a little too big for his stomach.

And everyone's trying figure out what it all means. Thankfully, the Internet has also helped us make sense of nearly two-and-a-half hours of shifting landscapes, car chases and Leo DiCaprio saying the word "dreams" approximately 75 times. Cinema Blend has a nifty illustrated guide [spoiler alert] to the five levels that the movie's crack team of dream thieves operates on.
