Inception!

Smart, creative, and thrilling to watch. Christopher Nolan's latest flick is a must see for this year. As always, Nolan's signature style of dark, thrilling, and big budget scenes can be seen in this movie. Nolan never fails to choose actors to portray the characters for his film. Starring Leonardo Di Caprio with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, and Tom Hardy.




Inception is a science fiction action movie inspired by the experience of lucid dreaming and dream incubation. The film centers on Dominic Cobb (Leonardo Di Caprio), an extractor, who enters the dreams of others to gather information that are inaccessible with the help of his partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon Levitt). To exchange to have his old life, Saito (Ken Watanabe) hires him to convince the son of rival empire to break up to his father to prevent threat to Saito. By using the act of inception to secretly implant an idea to a target's mind. Due to the plan involving powerful sedatives and creating multiple dreams within each other, an in-dream death will not awaken the dreamer but instead send them into a limbo dream world where their mind will remain trapped for an indeterminable amount of time. 

Some said that the ending is a bit confusing because of the cliff hanging scene where Cobb went home after the mission and then the totem was still spinning. Is he still dreaming or back to reality? To end the discussion, the totem stopped! LOL
