    If you're a fan, you'll love it

    Even though it's only based on Nolan's work, it actually did feel like Nolans creation. The original soundtrack by Zimmer works great wiht this prequel. If you're a fan of Nolan's work as well, then you're going to love it!

    Continuing the greatest movie ever

    This is a short that continues a great movie (one of my favorites of all time), the combination between Leo Di Caprio and Chris Nolan is AWESOME (beside of the great cast that the movie has), i think it must have a second part because of that. Well focusing directly in the short, this is a short in animation where you can see almost all the cast (Leo Di Caprio, Joseph Gordon-Levit, Marion Cotilliard, Ellen Page, Ken Watanable, etc.) of the movie turned into cartoons, it is very interesting and it tells a story after the movie with another mission for Cobb and all the characters, i really recommend for all the ones who liked the movie, for the ones who didn't liked it I don't because you'll get bored, I give it an 8, I hope you like it. Greetings. maxi0305
