Movie Review: Inception

What if your dreams were so real they became your reality? Dom Cobb is a mind thief who steals people’s secrets by reaching their subconscious, even planting new ideas in order to change the outcome of business deals. The corporate espionage specialist works with a new scientist to assist him in reaching the deepest level of dreams called inception, a reality that could change the world.

Inception is a beautifully made special effects film that excels in every way. The film is well cast, with excellent acting by Leonardo DiCaprio. Ellen Page does a good job here but seems a little lower energy in comparison to the other actors, but as always Page is very good. The story is fascinating, with fine direction, dazzling special effects, sterling art production and a fast pace that never lets up throughout the film.

Filmgoers who love action/thrillers and special effects need to see Inception, a great film that should be added to your must see list.

2010. Written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Marion Cotillard, Pete Postlethwaite, and Michael Caine.
