If you haven’t seen the third trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming summer movie Inception, give it a watch.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z75o-F6ja2I]The movie looks great — part The Matrix, part Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, part Dark Knight, from what I can tell — but the production values of this trailer are sublime. Well-paced, with a healthy “whaa?” factor. Best of all, the music is absolutely epic. The score is called “Mind Heist” by Zack Hemsey.
It has elements of obvious tribute to Hans Zimmer, who composed the score for the film, but seems a bit edgier than Zimmer’s work. I’m rather obsessed with movie trailers and commercials as works of art. They are micro capsules of art and emotion that have to engage and move you in an impossibly small amount of time. Music can play a huge role in that feat.

I feel the same about movie trailers; although, occasionally, a trailer is done so well that the actual movie is a disappointment to many.
This trailer is phenomenal – gave me goosebumps. Knowing that it’s a Nolan film makes me feel much more intrigued and curious. His other “big-three” films are stuck in my mind, maybe forever. The deep allegorical themes are consistent and powerfully woven within the story and characters.
For those whom only enjoy the entertainment factor and may not find these things to be interesting, Nolen’s films get a standing ovation from them as well. Genius.
