Inception Movie Review

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to have a good idea for an invention that you could then sell the patent to make millions? All it would take is one. Well, if she did come up with a million dollar idea and someone decides they want to take from you enter into your subconscious and brain and extracting the idea or thought from you? This is precisely the premise of revolutionary and thought provoking movie from the beginning.

I posted the above definition of birth for you because if you're like me, you probably don't know what this word means or how it could possibly relate to this film. Well, not only is Dom Cobb, played exceptionally well by Leonardo DiCaprio, a thief, but in this film is given the task of birth or placing an idea in someone's mind, without them knowing it was not an original idea of their own. Sounds complicated, eh? Well it is not. The mind is a powerful thing. Perhaps the most powerful thing in the world and just imagine if people used more than ten percent most scientists say that we use daily. Now, think of dreams. Have never had a dream that seemed so real that wondered if it was really a dream if they really lived in the real world? So you could live your dreams with you what happens if you draw people in your dreams? This film takes place mostly in the mind and makes you think about things that can be created from the mind ethical, psychological and fantastic.

I saw this movie on Sunday and I'm still thinking about it and trying to wrap my head around everything that I saw. There are many movies that stay with you, hours, days or even weeks after you have seen them. How many times you can see a movie want to see again, only to carry it around and try to capture any clues or details that you might have missed? Like many filmmakers working today that doesn't dumb down their script or story just to make it easier for the public to understand what is happening? I, as a moviegoer, I want to go see movies that challenge me and make me think. I also want to see films that are completely original and show you things never seen before. This is that movie!

I can't really speak too much on specific because it is better to go in knowing nothing about the film. I can only say that this is definitely one of the top five films I've seen this year and maybe one of the best movies I've ever seen. This is a film where all participants are playing at the top of their game. By Christopher Nolan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Hans Zimmer, Marion Cotillard and Wally Pfister, each of them contributed to an almost perfect movie. I am confident that the Academy Awards remembers this film came the time of appointment. Do yourself a favor and check out this movie and see if you can stop thinking about it after you left. I can't wait to see it again and I wonder if this is what they wanted me to do all along.
