Am I Still Dreaming?

whoa.
I have to say, I have seen quite a few amazing movies in my day (which doesn't count for much) but Inception just might top them all. I went into the theater not really expecting much from the movie, I had heard mixed reviews so I didn't know what to think. Let's just say I left the theater with a very distinct review of the movie in my head, which was "genius..." or in other words "HOLY SHIT that was very possibly the best movie I have seen in my short, but i think adequately cultured, life"
There were points in the movie where I had to remind myself that I was, in fact, in a movie theater and I wasn't going to be stuck in dream-limbo if the unnaturally good-looking guys/girl on the screen failed and/or died. With the cinematography and the pace of the movie, I felt like I was in it. The suspense and the thrill I got from scene after scene had me on the edge of my seat from the first few moments of the film to the last second.
I don't want to ruin the film for anyone but I just want to add that I thought the last few moments of the movie were a work of art. The emotions bottled up into just a few minutes of footage really made my mind tick and the second the screen turned black one word popped into my head "genius." I have taken film classes and I have analyzed multiple films and everything that one would want to achieve with their film was there, in those last minutes.
So to anyone that has been doubting whether this movie is worth spending $10 on, it is. Go see it, just in case it blows your mind like it did mine.
