Confusing at first, but engaging toward the second half!

Rating: 8/10 (25 September 2015)

Inception was a confusing movie at first, delving into the plot about a dream-sharing technology for a brilliant thief, Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), to plant an idea into the mind of CEO Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy) in order for another corporate businessman, Saito (Ken Watanabe), to gain power. In exchange, Saito will help Cobb reunite with his children.
As with Director Christopher Nolan's movies, much of the plot elements are serious, solemn and dark, and those along with the dramatic acting made the movie a little slow at first. However, once the dream within the dream action sequences come into full swing during the second half of the movie, the plot picks up steam and is full of suspense, excitement and intrigue. It consumed much of the second half of the movie and it kept me engaged until the end.
You will have to watch the movie more than once to appreciate the unique story-line. It's a pretty good sci-fi drama overall!
