Inception : When you discover their dreams



Inception(2010),148min,
Genre: Action,Adventure,Mystery,
Director: Christopher Nolan
Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio,Joseph Gordon-Levitt,Ellen Page

 -My alarm clock wakes me up at 11:00 AM, resultantly I fall asleep at 12:00 AM. Don't sleep well, get up at 3:00. Then I work from 9 to 6 and I'm ready to drop dead. It's 9:00 PM when Inception starts.
I've fallen in love with dream movies, most of which I was about to fall asleep while viewing the first time. Inception is not that kind of movie, it rewards coffee and red bull. Even half-asleep it's not inaccessible though. It's a psychological heist film, that continues to drop deeper and deeper into the subconscious of a young billionaire.


The team already states the instability of dreams within dreams and how inception only has a chance at working, but the stakes aren't realized until they see how Cobb (Dicaprio) has risked all of them.
None of these themes are new, but I can't name a lot of multi-layered dream heist films. Dicaprio gives possibly his grandest performance yet, with Cottilard stepping up to his challenge.
The action is what makes Inception though. Time is slowed, buildings collapse and transform, and eventually it's time to raid some arctic complex. This was the biggest detractor from my viewing, you need to be wide awake to follow these action scenes. Nolan is moving the camera like a mad-man and I don't think until I can see this on the the small screen, that I can truly love this movie.

My Ratings 8.5/10,
