2010 Directed by Christopher Nolan
Cobb, a skilled thief who commits corporate espionage by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets is offered a chance to regain his old life as payment for a task considered to be impossible: "inception", the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious.

"Inception," at its most basic, is two things. It is a heist film dressed in science fiction conventions; and it is a study of a man trying to free himself from a near-suffocating past. "Inception," at its more complex, is a cerebral pop-masterpiece. It is an enthralling combination of thought-provoking, layered story-telling and sumptuous aesthetics enhanced by near-flawless editing, sound design, effects, and musical score. Driven by a pitch-perfect cast and the confident directorial hand of Christopher Nolan, "Inception" is a brilliant and unrivaled piece of filmmaking.
The Wolf of Wall Street stars in Christopher Nolan's smart dreamy dream so much more than just a popcorn muchin' Hollywood blockbuster. Ocean waves. Sand castles. Mush. Godzilla's pal. JGL's natural born screen charisma. Falling house. Triple dream? Fast train. Top spin. Poor Lukas. Betting on a chance. Sir Michael Caine is the motherfucker. Ellen after Juno. Maze test. Complicated as fuck architectural work. You can share dreams? Grumpy strangers. Moving mirrors. Dreamin' like you're Biggie Smalls. Intense baby mama drama. The totem. The moment you realize Tom Hardy is the real deal. Why doesn't Dileep Rao act more? Cold water. Sgt. Barnes. Verbal Kint's best mate. Scarecrow. The crazy as fuck hunch that Christopher Nolan likes to use the…
With big films like this I tend to weigh different aspects of filmmaking and rate them separately. The final rating is then an average of all scores. I don't know why, but I feel I need to structure this review that way and try to give an accurate analysis. Whenever one of Nolan's films is criticized it tends to veer towards a right wrong discussion. Nolan has a huge fanbase and they are welcome to defend his films, but as a self proclaimed 'Nolan indifferent' I honestly have to say that I haven't enjoyed his latest efforts and often for the same reasons. I will try to write up how the final rating is compiled. My apologies in advance for…
Everyone has one of those films that you see when you're younger and you can't quite appreciate it, but you know that you've seen something remarkable. I was young and I was starting to get into film, and I knew Nolan from The Dark Knight at the time, but nothing prepared my little mind for the brilliance that hit me like a freight train running at full speed while simultaneously falling off of a massive cliff. I was thunderously exhilarated and entranced by the whole thing, with every bullet and "kick" hitting my mind and my imagination with furious potency and startling vision. I sat in a packed auditorium with a goofy grin on my face for the entire duration…
Taking ideas from many sci-fi classics & seamlessly blending it with the ambience of James Bond thrillers, Inception is an original, inventive & ambitious sci-fi wonder from Christopher Nolan that manages to live up to its monumental hype & expectations amazingly well, and even today continues to be the subject of discussion amongst many movie-buffs, thanks to its multi-layered narration, surreal structure & ambiguous ending.
A contemporary sci-fi thriller set within the architecture of the mind, the story of Inception presents a future where technology exists to enter people's dreams & share them. The plot concerns Cobb; a highly skilled extractor notable for stealing ideas & confidential information from his target's subconscious, who assembles a team to carry out a near-impossible task for a wealthy businessman…
I tried watching this movie with my dad but he just got mad and left because I wouldn't stop singing the score
I was actually put this down to four stars this time, but my level of distraction was largely due to my level of back pain. I was very pleased with this as I started last night. I was very cranky this morning when I woke up in greater pain. Not really the movie's fault so I will let the 4.5 stand for now.
By this point Christopher Nolan should just trademark the phrase "HEAD HURTS."
great great great!! an ambiguous ending, which is always cool if used properly. also, great acting from most of the cast. cinematography was good but the star is really the universe that is created for this movie and the constant thinking needed to watch it.
Funny thing, I just watched this for the first time ever yesterday. I barely remember anything from it. Too long. Tom Hardy is good in it, but who was he again? Did some action, but what was his character? Leo was okay, but Juno was as bad as ever. Enough of that twirp already. This would have been better if directed by David Cronenberg, and shorter. The action was well made, I'll say that, good job on that. Michael Caine was in it for 10 seconds, and I imagined there'd be more 'surreal' building shape changing and stuff... not really. For a movie about dreams it really wasn't all that surreal and reminded me of the Matrix a lot. I liked the levels-thing, but at a certain point, I just didn't give a shit what was going on... too much man, too much with the dead wife, I expected a lot more from the dreamworlds based on the hype.
Visually brillant with a genious for foreshadowing. Difficult to understand ending and creepy feeling at the end. It's open-ended. You can choose a happy or sad ending.
This movie was a trip. With an interesting plot and a good balance of action and drama, this movie is worth the watch and even after so many years, people are still talking about that ending!
This movie may be equivalent to some trying some shrooms (not that I have...), but my god this film is perfect.
