Inception (2010) The first major feature film from Christopher Nolan in which he has both written and directed has landed at #3 in the IMDb Top 250 in the first two weeks of release - echoing his prior success with The Dark Knight. An incredible feat regardless of whether it is deserved. I loved the cast, the unconventional plot which was challenging without being too difficult to follow, and of course the mind-melting effects. But this gravity defying film carries no weight. At some point Nolan made the choice to sacrifice the kind of character depth that made Memento a success, in favour of a convoluted plot, all too cliche action sequences, and a cheap-trick finale.
