Christopher Nolan's follow-up film to his 2008 blockbuster movie 'The Dark Knight', titled 'Inception', is a mind-bending (or invading, rather) adventure that has thrills, amazing special effects, likable characters, and pretty much all of the elements that make a good movie.
The film follows a man named Dom Cobb ('Titanic''s Leonardo DiCaprio), who is an expert in the practice of inception - that is, using special technology to enter the dreams of sleeping people and either implant or extract ideas or information. When a man named Saito (Ken Watanabe), head of an energy company, comes to Cobb, he asks him to perform inception on the heir (named Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy)) to an energy empire on the verge of a takeover of the entire business. The goal would be to try to convince the heir to break up his dying father's empire upon inheritance. In exchange, Cobb will be allowed back into the United States a free man, as opposed to being internationally on the run for being accused of a crime he did not commit.
Cobb gets together a team of people to help him with the inception, including a college student named Ariadne (Ellen Page) who is determined to find out a secret Cobb is hiding. Together, the team enters Fischer's dreams during a ten hour flight and encounter mental security, gunfights, car chases, and much more action and adventure.
I highly enjoyed 'Inception', and I highly recommend it to any fan of science fiction or action/adventure.
