The trouble with films that are a trifle complex are that they can be reliant on the various characters giving a lot of exposition to let the audience keep up. I noticed it a bit in Inception but it certainly didn't detract from an excellent story. Okay... it did feel a bit like The Matrix but the acting was a hell of a lot better than it's 1999 predecessor.
Leornardo Di Caprio is proving that he is one of the best actors in Hollywood and he puts in another sterling performance as Dom Cobb the extraction specialist. At times he reminded me of his previous character in Shutter Island and again there is a similar issue regarding his wife and kids.
The plot in fact is not that complex - it is more to do with the "science" involved. A dream within a dream within a dream. The effects are spectacular but there were points where the scene changed quickly between dreams and my mind began to wander.
A very worthy follow up to The Dark Knight... Christopher Nolan is proving again that he is one of Britain's greatest directors. Go and see it!
