Inception Movie Review

I saw "Inception" this weekend with John at the cinema - finally! I have been so looking forward to watch this movie after I saw the review a couple of weeks ago. Stars Leonardo DiCaprio, OK I'm not a huge Leo fan but I really can't deny that he is really ridiculously good looking. We all loved Titanic, The Beach, Shutter Island - he is a GOOD actor.

Inception also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, Lukas Haas, and Pete Postlethwaite.

You are probably skeptical about heading to the theater since seeing the movie previews of Leonardo DiCaprio paired up with “Juno” star Ellen Page, but the chemistry does match and their roles flow together nicely in the movie.

If you’re a vivid dreamer and if you’re into dream interpretation, this movie is for you! 

The core conceit of the movie is simple: Inception is about this group of ‘dream worker’ people who get offered a challenge to break inside of a powerful man’s mind and install a thought into his head to change the future. The group of people make a dream plan that the group is in compliance with, they all go to sleep at the same time, and show up in the same dream together and take on the challenge and obstacles as a team. In this challenge given, the group sets out to travel through 3 layers of this joint dream with their victim by their side, who is also simultaneously sedated/dreaming in the same room with them in reality. Leo plays Dom Cobb, the best of the best who leads the team - but he is haunted by the memory of his dead wife...

Are you totally confused!? Hopefully it will make more sense when you see it!

It’s one of those movies you have to follow all the way through, and you CANNOT take a bathroom break for the whole 2 hours because you’ll be so lost! The movie does not feel long though. Make sure you see it at the cinema too!

The film moves through these worlds gracefully, with several unforgettable action scenes. These moments will have you scratching your head and catching your breath. To me its not so much of an action movie but it definately delivers more than enough adrenaline to keep you glued to the screen.

I have to watch this movie again...
