Best movie in years!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2011)

One word springs to mind when i think of this film; AMAZING. Christopher Nolan is an absolute genius, and should be highly commended for this wonderful edition in filmatic cinema. I have seen nothing like this before, and highly doubt we will again.
Dom Cobb is an unusual line of work in that he is paid to invade dreams. Cobb robs the psyche with practised skill, although he increasingly becomes haunted by the memory of his late wife Mal, who keeps appearing in his sub-conscience to wreak havoc on his missions. Wealthy business man Saito wants to destroy the empire of his business rival Robert Fischer Jr. and this involves planting an idea in his head, otherwise known as Inception. In order to carry out the task Cobb calls upon his specialist friends; Arthur his organiser, Eames the forger/thieve, Yusuf who is the sedative supplier and finally Ariadne the architect. Then enter the dream world.
Inception is a high class sophisticated movie, and you feel as if you are in fact being educated in the subject of the dreamworld and sub-conscience mind. The plot is not only original, but there are several twist and turns and unpredictable at that, which is one of the hardest things to achieve when making a film, but somehow this film has done just that.
The cinematography is nothing short of exceptional. The set designs and specials effects left me in awe. Somehow not only do you see what is happening in front of you, but you also feel them. The music accompaniment by Hans Zimmer is haunting and adds to the overall dream like feel to the movie. In my opinion, the ending should go down in cinematic history.
The acting is convincing and the main protagonists are developed at a slow pace throughout, which adds to the overall intensity. Especially that of Cobb, played by Leonardio Di Caprio. Who knew that at the start of the film, the woman that was stalking him, was in fact his dead wife. You can feel his desperation as the film progresses, as all he wants to do is get back home and see his kids. Also, in my opinion any movie with Ellen Page is bound to be a success; what a talented actress.
After my initial viewing all i wanted to do was to watch it all over again, and its wonderful the new things you pick up from Inception by watching it over. What I also like about this film, is that it is a good talking point, because after watching it there is so much to divulge, how could you not have an opinion it on? A unique film, which is definitely worth watching not just once, but again and again. It will blow your mind away and is absolutely breathtaking.
