Inception Reviews

Overall, “Inception” is a triumph, a perfectly oiled dream machine that can blow minds on first viewing and satisfy cinephiles on repeat viewings.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Apr 11, 2024

Nolan is exploring dreams and the possibilities are endless, which is why it’s a little disappointing that so much of the film feels like a generic CGI action movie, albeit a high-class one.

| Mar 20, 2024

It is, simply put, a cerebral masterpiece from Christopher Nolan. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 10/10 | Feb 7, 2024

As the corridor spins the characters as well as the audience have to grapple with the blurred boundaries between reality and the subconscious.

| Dec 11, 2023

There are thrillers, and then there are thrillers. Gripping every second and couching its pages of exposition in the smartest way possible, Inception is original filmmaking at its finest.

| Oct 17, 2023

"Inception" delivers twists that fit the evolving context of the story it's creating and commandingly wins your attention enough to not turn you off. While it may not seem like it, there is a point and a light at the end of the tunnel to this maze.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 4, 2023

This film must be revisited, talked about, analyzed, and rewatched again and again. It will surely grow upon each viewing, but it proves instantly enthralling the first time.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 18, 2023

Still one of the best original films of the last 25 years, Inception is a groundbreaking action drama with some of the most intricate plot mapping this side of dreams and reality.

| Jul 20, 2023

Fresh, innovative stories told in non-traditional ways...

| Apr 26, 2023

This is Christopher Nolan's insane, original concept...

| Apr 20, 2023

[This] caper film that heists dreams instead of treasure is surely the most cerebral action thriller to become a blockbuster.

| Apr 8, 2023

Tech achievements duly noted (and their scale is certainly not nothing), I’m drawn back to Nolan’s 2001 fixation, unveiled to truly embarrassing effect in the dire, airless Inception...

| Jan 24, 2023

Confusing nightmare. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 26, 2022

Inception’s inspiring imagination and ingenious innovation are still as staggering and stimulating today as they were ten years ago.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 1, 2022

...a modern cinematic masterpiece.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 22, 2022

Blows up completely the notion of reality based on an extraordinary overlay of Borgian levels... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 21, 2022

Nolan's "dream within a dream" heist film, not only keeps you on the edge of your seat with incredible visual effects and memorable action set pieces, but also makes you a part of the puzzle-solving team from beginning to end. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 6, 2022

It's not nearly as confusing as many make it out to be, but if you do find yourself losing the plot a bit, remember you're at the movies and just let it overwhelm you. That's part of the fun.

| Sep 13, 2021

Inception engaged on a mainly intellectually level, but that isn't to say that film didn't pack an emotional impact.

| Jun 9, 2021

"They say we only use a fraction of our brain's potential" we are told in Inception. The same will never be said of Nolan.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 19, 2021
