Inception is the melding of “Strange Days” and “The Matrix” on a scale so heavy that the quality special effects and the grade-A actors commanded the budget of $200-million dollars.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page and featuring Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard and Ken Watanabe with cameo’s from Michael Caine and Pete Postlethwaite.
The cast of Inception alone calls for memorable performances from all.
The film itself is best described as don’t blink or you’ll miss it! The complex story-telling of the world of dreams backed by the plot of Corporate Espionage makes for a wild thrill ride and the expansion of the imagination.
Inception is about a pair of Corporate Saboteurs whom enter the dreams of their marks and extract information for their client. The film is set in current times with the impossible Sci-Fi aspect of being able to enter the dreams of another or their own. Once inside a fantastical plot to complete their mission ensues. However there is more, much more and revealing that would only spoil your interest in seeing this movie.
I am personally intrigued by this film, I didn’t care to see it originally, but regardless of the ever talked about ending, I find the film fascinating–if not simply well-acted and filmed. I highly recommend checking it out.

I hate to pick apart details but I hear the actual budget of Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece was $160,000,000 rather than $200,000,000.
No matter. The film is incredible and demands to be seen (maybe more than once) on the biggest screen you can find. If you wait for DVD, you’ll hate yourself.within the first ten minutes.
Cool review.
