masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2012)

Big business has always used any technique to gain an edge on the competition, Dom Cobb (Leo. DiCaprio) is essentially a dream-thief, breaking into people's subconscious to extract their thoughts and ideas. He and right-hand man Arthur are hired by a Japanese businessman Saito (Ken Watanabe) to take things a step further, instead of extracting an idea he is asked to plant an idea in the mind of Robert Fischer Jr, the son of powerful businessman Fischer Sr, who lies on his deathbed. Inception has some impressive set pieces and remarkable imagery. The plot is unnecessarily drawn out and complex. The script and acting are all phenomenal. Dicaprio gives not an only an Oscar worthy performance but his best performance ever. it's not all about Dicaprio though as he is surrounded by an ensemble cast with names such as Joseph Gordon- Levitt, Cillian Murphy, and many more. More importantly, their performances too are incredible. The original score by Hans Zimmer is as usual outstanding and amplifies the intensity and emotion within every scene.
This film is brilliant and in no way should be discarded by any means because it is considered a "summer blockbuster." This is the rarest summer blockbuster you will ever see and for that matter the rarest and most incredible movie I have seen in at least the past 5 years.
