Combat in Zero-G

I saw Christopher Nolan’s Inception this weekend, what a trip! Great movie, sure to be noticed come awards season.

It’s definitely action oriented, although I wouldn’t call it an action movie. It’s definitely thrilling, but I wouldn’t call it a thriller. It has sci-fi elements, but it’s not really sci-fi. It’s all these and none of them, like if The Matrix, The Bourne Identity and Heat had a baby.

The acting is top-notch but with a cast like it has, that’s to be expected. The direction flows seamlessly from action to drama and Nolan’s script has enough depth and complexity that it should keep audiences talking for a bit. I don’t think its premise will generate the scholarly debate The Matrix’s did but it is definitely interesting.

See it!

(This movie has convinced me that I need more zero-g combat training.)
