"Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange."
Perhaps one of the most intriguing stories to grace the silver screen in a long time, Inception allows your imagination to wander without restriction. This mind blowing production by Christopher Nolan features Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, and Tom Hardy to name a few.
When skilled thought extractor, Dom Cobb, (DiCaprio) is offered a job that will allow him to return to his children in the U.S., he accepts, despite the nature of the work entitled. He rounds up a group of imaginative professionals (Gordon-Levitt, Page, Hardy) to perform inception, something deemed impossible by many.
To plant an idea is marginally more difficult than to take one and if the idea is too complex, it does not take. The thought in question, aimed at wealthy business man, Robert Fischer (Murphy): Destroy your father's billion dollar empire. Not simple in the slightest.
This is a masterpiece by Mr. Nolan, one of the best in the business when it comes to quality story and shock factor. My grandfather literally stood for the entire end quarter of this film; thank goodness he watched it at home. Sequences of anti-gravity, gun fights, and dreams within dreams make you question the plot until the very end. And afterwards, you will question reality.
