Inception

Inception is a 2010 sci-fi action psychological heist thriller . The film is written and directed by Christopher Nolan. The film's amazing cast is led by Leonardo DiCaprio as Cobb. His performance is the best I've seen in his career. Next is Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Arthur. It's amazing seeing his performance after being a long time 3rd rock from the sun fan. He is the voice of reason in the macabre setting he is put into. Ellen Page co-stars as Ariadne. A naive architectural student thrust into being Cobb's architect. This film shows off her acting abilities beyond that of a pregnant teen. Many other characters populate this world (my favorite being Eames) but it's hard enough to put three performances into words.
The plot involves Cobb and his team (who go into people's dreams to steal valuable information) being enlisted by a businessman named Saito to perform inception (implanting an idea into someone's subconscious) on the son (Fischer) of a billionaire industrialist who is close to inheriting his fathers empire, in order to convince him to dissolve his father's company. The team enters his mind, with the only escape being when their job is over, or when they die (and go to limbo). All the time they are being challenged by Cobb's projection of his dead wife. As they go deeper, Fischer's subconscious fights back and they even enlist him in their cause. As to not spoil anymore, I'll just say that the ending leaves you questioning everything you just saw.
This is definitely one of the greatest films I've ever seen.The effects are some of the best, allowing them to be as abstract as possible given the dreams openness. The actors all deliver amazing , detailed, and believable performances that allow you to connect to each character on an individual level. It has some of the most memorable scenes including the zero-gravity fight scene and the Breakdown of the dream. This film will appeal to anyone with the slightest interest in good films, though I have found that much of the older viewers (not Old old, about 40+... or maybe it's just parents in general) have trouble following the story and understanding it. The film is great and NEEDS to be seen more than once, everytime you watch it you discover something new and amazing. This is definitely a movie everyone needs to see.
