Ahhh, I’ve become stupidly behind on my film reviews lately which is a shame, because if you’ve not already seen Inception at the cinema, you’ll have missed a real cracker.

If you want to avoid cheesemares, avoid eating cheddar just before bed.

The other night, I dreamt a girl at work ate my lunch. I wasn’t pleased. Why do I mention that? Well fortunately, films don’t tend to get made about my boring dreams.

Let’s get this out of the way – Inception is just a teeny bit complicated. It’s all about the manipulation of people’s dreams in order to extract valuable information. There’s not much standing around wondering who just snaffled your sandwich, but there are dreams within dreams… within dreams. And that’s just the simple bit. We’ve got characters in different dreams, extractors, architects, chemists, time dilation and kicks all making your brain hurt. And surprisingly it all eventually does make sense (well, admittedly the last ten minutes or so did start to lose me!).

That said, it’s still the best film I’ve seen for a long time and it’s hard to pick any real fault with it. If there’s one film to see at the cinema this year, it’s probably going to be Inception.

9.5/10.

Don’t believe me about the complex plot by the way? And be warned here as the following may (or may not) be a spoiler. I say may not be, as this infographic still only just about makes sense even if you’ve seen the film!

Yeah, good luck with that.
