Perfection, Inception!

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2011)

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his crack team must perform one of the hardest tasks known to man, planting an idea in a dream, within a dream, within a dream. This is known as inception.
Since the release of The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan has set a high precedent by creating a masterpiece. Inception is no exception. People may think that Inception is about dreams, which is true, but there's more. It's about life and death, it's about questioning reality, it's about family. Inception explores these topics and beyond in great depth. The storyline is complex and everything needs full attention from the viewer in order to understand it, yet due to the action, the incredible special effects, the amazing acting and so much more, it'd be almost impossible to take your eyes off the screen for a second.
Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as Cobb is sublime. DiCaprio has never acted badly, but can sometimes appear to try too hard; like a kid wearing his dad's clothes. Nolan has created the perfect role for him and he pulls it off brilliantly. Cobb deserves success and encourages empathy with everything that he goes through, whether it's trying to get back to his children or trying to let go of the memory of his dead wife.
If you enjoy action thriller films, but want see something deeply intellectually stimulating, moving, Inception will suit you. It's a film that'll be implanted in your mind allowing you to revisit it time and again and will stay with you for a long time.
The work of Nolan and his amazing cast has resulted in one of the finest films of this generation. Inception will be talked about and enjoyed by everyone, both now and in years to come.
