Movie o' the day: Inception

I'll keep this brief, because, as many have said before me, trying to describe this movie adequately is a fool's errand. The basic structure is a "heist movie", but dealing with secrets and beliefs in dreams (and dreams within dreams, and...), but, much like the action in the movie itself, there are multiple layers beyond that. All in all, it's great sci-fi, or maybe fantasy, without devolving into space opera or swords and sorcery. Better still, I only left the theater with one hole in the mechanics of the film, which could have been explained away with a throwaway line of dialogue, but they chose to focus on the action at hand instead, and I honestly can't fault them for that. So, if you're looking for action, intrigue, sci-fi, or a nice dense mix of the above, go see this film.
