- "Variety": "Inception" is a very clever movie, rich in details and intricate narrative, which brings the audience into a subconscious labyrinth. Nolan created a surreal world of horror, which is a bit similar to Jungian theory, challenging the viewer on multiple levels of reality and unrealism. Quick editing and quick narrative express the surreal world heartily, and the virtual image technology presents the consciousness of the human brain to the utmost.
- "Empire"This film is like "The Matrix" plus "New York Synonymy", anti-physics discussion, wonderful action scenes, impactful emotions, and Leonardo’s amazing performances. People are addicted, this is a brand new field of Nolan film.
- "Hollywood Report"An extremely complex, but very fascinating journey of science fiction dreams.
- "New York Times": The film borrowed some of the ideas from "Blade Runner" and "2001: A Space Odyssey", but Nolan's exploration of philosophy and depth of the film appears to be very sleek, too courageous, and too hasty.
- "Times Weekly""Inception" continues Nolan's long-standing exploration of paranoid emotions and enthusiasm for surreal themes. The temperament of the film also adheres to the "independent film style" as much as possible: wisdom and reflection are the key points. Actors' performances are placed in an important position; ignore the 3D trend and love traditional technology; do not define loyalty and evil, walk in a gray area, and point to the entanglement of people; seemingly random and chaotic editing techniques.
- China News Network: "Inception" is more like Nolan’s tribute to the 24-year old Borges, those carefully designed psychedelic bridges, the connection between dreams and dreams, the relationship between dreams and reality The docking is very much like Borges' novels; the labyrinth and the mirror are even more famous labels of Borges. The biggest difference from the novel is that Nolan uses extremely exaggerated image elements to restore the vague and magical dream. The most wonderful thing is that the Mercedes-Benz bus that fell in the second layer of Fisher's dream connects the first, third, and fourth layers. Dream, the infinitely prolonged falling process completely invalidates the law of gravity and becomes the most fascinating and swaggering iconic event in the movie.
- "Youth Daily": This is a film that is "not afraid of spoilers". The director and screenwriter give the audience many assumptions and rules for the establishment of the story, including human subconsciousness, dreams in dreams, reinterpreted "traveling" and so on. In fact, the greatest dream maker should be the film's production team headed by director Nolan, who can turn his ideas into a movie, and the audience has entered his dream when watching the film. What is worth mentioning is the joyful laughter brought by the movie, which I am afraid the director did not expect.
- "Oriental Morning Post"The story of "Inception" is definitely not as obscure as previously rumored. Although the structure of the play is quite complicated, from the perspective of audience experience, the surface story of this movie is still a typical Hollywood genre. Because of its exquisite story structure and almost perfect composition of movie elements, "Inception" also has a variety of possibilities for interpretation.
- "Guangzhou Daily""Inception" is hailed as an inflection point, just like "Apocalypse Now", "Blade Runner", "The Matrix" and other inflection points in the history of movies have done, proving that it has always attracted audiences It's still a core of ideas full of creativity, not a brainless blockbuster flooded with technology.
