Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible—inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.This movie was insanely intense right off the bat. They didn't waste any time with credits or explaining the whole entering the dreams thing. They just hit the ground running and it was such an assault on your senses of sight and hearing. The score was intense. The visual effects were mind blowing. The acting was awesome across the board. The whole idea of dream extraction seemed about as normal as eating breakfast. The back and forth between two completely different stories, one of intesnse action and espionage - the other a character drama dealing with loss and letting go, is as fluid as it could possibly be. I actually don't want to go in to too much detail because the not knowing about what this movie is really about is the best part of the intrigue. I will go on record as saying that this is by far the best movie of the year so far and yet another testament that Christopher Nolan is the greatest director since Steven Spielberg in his prime.
I couldn't possibly recommend this movie any more if I tried. It is absolutely a must see by all.
