What can I, or anyone, say about this film? Nothing. It is damn near impossible to explain this movie. Which is why it is a must-see for any movie goer.
Christopher Nolan beautifully weaves this complicated tale of dream extractors forced to delve into the unknown depths of peoples dreams to find important information. Nolan chooses to throw the narrative structure into a blender, and at times you feel lost, but that's the point. He successfully brings you into the middle of these characters dreams, making you feel disoriented yet mystified.
The only gripe is the character development, for some of the characters. Of course, Leonardo DiCaprio is great as the protagonist, but I feel some characters were just left out in the cold. for example, Joseph Gordon Levitt's character, the "point man" really lacks any real emotion or purpose. This isn't the actors fault, it's the writing.
But all in all, it's a film no one should miss out on. I see this as a film people will look back on in the future. And it could very well define this generation. This is a love letter to cinema, saying "through all these remakes and reboots, there are people that can still make great films."
