Inception (2010)

The Dream is Real.

Dom Cobb is a thief. In fact, he's the best in the business. But he specializes in a new form of theft unlike anything before it; extraction. Dom steals peoples secrets, hidden deep in their subconscious, by infiltrating their dreams. His rare skill has opened the door to a lucrative, but dangerous, career in corporate espionage. But now he finds himself unable to return to his home country, the United States, for fear of arrest and prosecution on false charges of murder.

However, Dom has been given a second chance. A new job offer presents the possibility of having the charges disappear so that he may return to his country and his children. The catch is that he must carry out a nearly impossible extraction deep within the subconscious of a powerful corporate tycoon. He has a shot at redemption, but only if he can finish the job and make it out alive.

Inception is an intricate, complex, and fascinating movie with killer effects and cinematography. A sci-fi thriller with lots of action and a bit of mystery and drama to boot. It also has a good cast which includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, and Pete Postlethwaite amongst others. Viewers are coming to expect a lot when Christopher Nolan releases a film, but he keeps on delivering.

4 dreams within each other out of 5
Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action throughout.
