INCEPTION






PLOT
Corporate spy-for-hire Dom Cobb (DiCaprio) steals ideas in dreams, but then he's hired to achieve the impossible: "inception" - planting an idea in the mind of a target. If he succeeds, he can see his estranged children. If he fails, he'll be trapped forever.
 CASTE
It is tough to assemble a cast as diverse and talented as Christopher Nolan’s Inception. With six Oscar-nominated actors and two Golden Globe nominees, the cast is complete with renowned performers and icons of tomorrow. In fact, almost every level of the film has an Oscar nominee behind it.


REVIEW
"Inception" is an excellent and breathtaking movie that may be one of the only films released so far during the Summer of 2010 that lives up to its hype. It is a nearly perfect and highly original film that holds your attention until the credits roll. The less you know about this movie going in, the more you will be entranced by seeing it.The special effects in this film were also very good, which is amazing considering their simplicity compared to the "Matrix" movies. There are slow-motion shots, but no impossible kung fu fighting sequences. It's especially interesting when the film gets into the architecture of certain dreams, and impossible sequences are filmed in a way I've never seen other than in drawings.And how can I not mention Leonardo DiCaprio who is seen as Cobb in the movie. His work in the movie gave me chills.  And then there are mailny Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page who were also excellent i must say.
There are many twists and turns in this film, but Nolan never loses his focus in the process of telling the story. If Nolan does not get nominated for Best Director and/or Best Original Screenplay next Oscar season, there is something terribly wrong with the Academy.
That being said, there was still a lot about this film I still don't get, and may require multiple viewings to better understand. It's an incredibly entertaining movie, but it also makes you think and continues to do so after you leave the theater.

TRAILER:--


 A few QUOTES from the movie:-

Cobb:Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.

Cobb: The seed that we planted in this man's mind may change everything.

Mal: You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together.

Fischer: [handing his abductors his wallet] There's five hundred dollars in there. And the wallet's worth more than that.

Ariadne: I guess I thought the dream-space would be all about the visual, but it's more about the feeling. My question is what happens when you start messing with the physics of it.

Eames: Thank you. Now we're trapped in Fischer's mind battling his own private army and if we get killed we'll be lost in limbo till our brains turn into scrambled egg.
