I really enjoyed Inception. And you're right, it is a fairly straightforward film, which I don't think is trying to outwit anyone. Instead it's got some fabulous ideas and doesn't treat its audience like idiots. I thought the characters were great and was actually quite emotional at the end. I completely bought into the whole desperate to see his kids bit.

The zero-G fight scene is particularly awesome, because they actually did it. No special effects - all filmed in a freefalling plane as far as I know. But I have heard it's real, and it looks real - it has that visceral, jerky nature to it that makes it all the more thrilling. I think it tops the Matrix in that sense, as when I go back and watch the Matrix now, it's still great, but it's the ideas that entertain me more than the effects-heavy fight scenes which are all camera-trickery and CGI. The effects in Inception are mostly quite subtle and underused, and I loved that look to it.

More of that sort of thing please.
