Inception (2010)

Inception is a science-fiction movie directed, written and produced by Christopher Nolan and features actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The movie is about a team of dream extractors leaded by Dominick Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) who’s on a mission: to plant an idea in another man’s mind. Mr. Saito is the man with the money and wants his rival to split up his dying father’s large corporation. To do this, they need a serious plan, because inception is possible – but just barely! 

With this plot, Nolan created a universe that allowed him to create a sandbox to play with. The characters could do pretty much anything, as anything is possible in dreams. Nolan’s new universe does not let us down, and he shows us what he’s capable of once again. To finish of this paragraph I’ll mention some of his earlier films that has harvested good reviews: Memento (2000), Insomnia (2002) and The Dark Knight (2008).
Once again Leonardi DiCaprio appears in an amazing film, because that is what Inception is. It is a movie with a great plot set in wonderful surroundings, and even with its 2 and a half hour length it never gets boring or uninteresting. The movie is thrilling and filled with action, and the only snag could be that the story might be a little too complicated for some. It’s really complex, and you should be sure to pause the movie if something interrupts you.

Quite confusing, huh?
The movie consists of a nice amount of special effects. In several scenes the characters are testing the boundaries of the nature’s physics, creating things such as paradoxes with staircases etc. We also see a train driving through a trafficked block in a large city and a large avalanche. The movie is a bullseye for those who likes the type of action that is satisfying as well as it forces you to think a bit in order to catch the drift, because you really have to think while watching this one.

Nolan has a created a brand new universe that we haven’t seen the end of yet. Inception is a labyrinth of hot action sequences and romantic memories in a great film that portraits a picture of the human mind as a confusing, complex object that can be breeched at any time, awake or asleep. Nolan has already expressed an intention to develop a video game set to this dream universe, so the idea of dream infiltration is already moving over to different platforms.
Gunfire is one of the things you will see a lot of.

This is definitely a good choice for any viewers that like action movies and movies that are playing games with your mind. One of 2010’s best, and if you call yourself a film lover, this can’t be missed!

  2. Yeah, I agree, and I also agree that the ending was a bit weird - it forces us to think. Will the spinning top stop spinning, or will it continue? It's an open ending, and in one way I hate the idea of not having a clear end, but in another way this makes the movie even more epic in a way!

  3. I totally agree! I think we may be asking the wrong questions.. Maybe we should rather think about does it really matter if it's in a dream or not? Won't it feel like the same thing?...

    Because I used to ask myself if he was in a dream or not.. But there's no answer to that specific question.

    I guess that's my conclusion of the film.

    I'll be looking forward to your posts in the future mate!

  4. Yeah, that sounds smart. As you said, we can only expect how it truly ended, but for all we know our conclusion might be wrong. Thanks, brother, and I'll keep an eye out for new posts at your blog as well. :)
