Inception

This is an excellent film. It's a daring film too. Like another film, The Usual Suspects, it starts in the present with a scene between an old man and a young one. The old man asks him what he wants and the young man struggles to recall what he wants from the old man. It leads to the start of the story in the past and an extraction job on the train to Kyoto, Saito's offer to Cobb, the assembly of the team, putting together their game plan for putting an idea into a financial rival's mind, the dream shared aboard the jet, onto the opening scene again when the young man why he's here then onto the final scene. The plot is superb. One man, Cobb, wants to find his way home to his family while another one, Saito, is willing to pay a fortune to change the outcome of events with a rival business firm through the inception of an idea into his rival's mind. The cast is also superb. It took more than Leonard DiCaprio to pull this story off. In this case there was some strong writing. Something closer to six or seven characters were needed for the development of the plot. Is it too complicated or just too intriguing? I really enjoy watching a good film again and again and have truly enjoyed Inception. Dreaming by itself was no basis for a story but to the credit of Inception it introduced dream-sharing by way of a new technology. In view of the developments over the past 60 years viewers will find it quite easy enough to suspend their disbelief. Cobb and his wife, Mal, put the learning to use by way of extracting ideas by people. Once they began building dreams within dreams extraction was easier but time moves at a different and slower pace at various levels of a dream. It can also become difficult to distinguish a dream from reality and they finally lose their way into the sub-conscious. After fifty years down there Cobb tries inception on Mal and plants an idea in her mind which leads to their return but Mal suspects that she's still dreaming and wants Cobb to return to reality. One night she tries to blackmail Cobb by informing the police that she suspects her husband will kill her. Dreams can be usually brought to an end when the dreamer runs out of time on the machine or is killed. After she kills herself Cobb leaves the country to avoid arrest but he's still deeply filled with regret and guilt about Mal who is constantly trying to keep him with her. It's interesting how one storyline is affecting the other one and the characterization which results from it.Ken Watanabe plays Mr. Saito. He's heard about extraction and rumours about conception. He's convinced that he will be financially ruined by his rival, Mr. Fischer. Now he's heard rumors about Cobb's skill but before he asks Cobb he wants to make sure that he's talking to the right mind. So he arranges an audition for Cobb's crew under tough conditions with himself as the target. Cobb extracts the information but he realizes that Saito has known all along about the job from start and asks why? Saito was never interested in the extraction but the level of Cobb's skill. While Cobb extracted the information, Saito wasn't impressed with the level of skill that Cobb showed. His opinion of Cobb quickly rises when he realizes that he's still dreaming. Cobb placed him in a dream inside a dream. In the following scene Saito makes an offer to Cobb of financial reward and a safe return to America if he can succeed in planting an idea in his rival's mind. Money is no problem with Saito. So Cobb finds a top-notch crew who will work for him and his partner, Arthur. DiCaprio clearly dominates the first crew but when Saito tells him to put together a better team he becomes part of the team. Michael Caine puts in a strong appareanance as Cobb's father-in-law who finds him another architect in dream-sharing, Ariadne played by Ellen Page. Then it's onto Africa for an interview with an old friend, Eames played by Tom Hardy, who's a skillful thief and forger and introduces Cobb to Yusuf, the Chemist played by Dileep Rao. Fischer, played by Cillian Murphy, puts in another good performance as Saito's rival. What's really interesting are all the contributions everybody makes towards the development of the story. It is a well written story and well performed one. You'll also appreciate the quick pace.While the dream starts on the jet. The levels of the dream can always be identified. The first level of the dream can always be identified by the rain in a city downtown. The primary development is the appearance of projections from Fischer's mind into dream who will defend him against any attempt at extraction. On this level Saito is shot and dying but on the lower levels it will take longer for him to die. Eames attempts to kill him and end the dream but the sedative taken demands their return to consciousness in a particular fashion. If they die they are lost in a sub-consciousness of the dreamer. So they must go onto the next level of the dream inside a van that Yusuf is driving. The second level of the dream is found in an expensive hotel where Cobb plays a figure on this level known as Mr. Charles and poses as one of the projections sent to guard Fischer. Mr. Charles gains Fischer's trust and convinces him that a corporate figure in his father's company is betraying him and the only way to learn the truth is entering a third level of the dream. The third level takes place in winter and the mountains where Fischer fights to learn the truth and the team plants an idea in him.In the meantime Saito dies during the assault. The scenes in the sub-conscicous take place in beautiful weather on the seaside. The final beach scene leads you to an earlier scene from the start of the film: an old man asks Cobb what he wants. The old man is Saito who was killed and has been lost for years. Cobb now remembers the audition for Saito, the inception and his confrontation with Mal. He urges Saito, now an old man filled with his regrets and guilt to come back with him and be young again. Well, the next scene tells you what happen he finds himself waking aboard the jet with Fischer, Saito and his crew. Saito places a call to set things in motion which will clear the way for Cobb's return home.I've seen this film on numerous occasions over the past few years. It just keeps getting better. It only proves the importance of good writing and acting to one another as well as editing and directing. Suspense simply is not a factor. Yet the story constantly grips you. You simply don't realize the length of the film by its quick pace of the story.

Christopher Nolan may be the most brilliant, unconventional mainstream director working in Hollywood today, crafting intricate stories where narrative forms are stretched and twisted.Nowhere is this more obvious than "Inception," which turns into a multi-level Möbius strip -- worlds within worlds, dreams within dreams. Nolan delights in being able to conjure strange worlds that could never exist in real life, but he crafts a very heartfelt, powerful story for those visuals -- a story of love and loss, ambition and power, and a broken man haunted by guilt that constantly chases him through every dream.In the not-too-distant future (next Sunday A.D.), the military has created a technology that allows artificial shared dreaming. Within multi-leveled dreams, architects can create elaborate worlds, and special "extractors" can get information from a sleeping subject's brain. Oh, and there are several layers of dreaming, each with a different period of time passing.The movie opens with Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) trying to extract some information from tycoon Saito (Ken Watanabe). It turns out that this was actually an elaborate audition by Saito, who wants to hire them for an "inception" -- to plant a new idea in someone's head. Cobb isn't interested until Saito offers to clear him of the murder of his wife, which would allow him to return to his young children.Their target: Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy), who has just inherited a massive energy conglomerate from his cold, callous father. Saito wants the company dissolved before it can become too powerful, so he wants the idea incepted into Robert's head.So Cobb gets together a gang of the best: clever forger Eames (Tom Hardy), dream-chemist Yusuf (Dileep Rao), and the new architect Ariadne (Ellen Page). But only Ariadne sees how troubled Cobb is, and that the memory of his dead wife Mal (Marion Cotillard) is deliberately sabotaging every mission he undertakes. As the team weaves their elaborate web of deception and dreams around Robert, Cobb finds that his demons are threatening their mission.You have to give it to Christopher Nolan: he doesn't dumb down his movies for the masses. "Inception" is a hard movie to even summarize because it's constantly growing more complicated -- the team is spread out over different dream levels, with different time periods passing and different perils attacking them simultaneously. It's half heist caper and half sci-fi meta-thriller... if that even makes sense.And while Nolan sculpts a strange Escheresque dream-world of labyrinths and never-ending stairs, he also crafts some powerful subplots about love and loss. As the plot unwinds, he intertwines Cobb and Fischer's personal issues with the main story of inception. Suddenly the constant firefights, explosions and free-falling elevators/vans aren't the only reason we're invested -- the audience is truly left wanting to see both men work out their issues and find some measure of inner peace.It also has spectacularly good special effects, particularly Arthur's battle in the hotel -- he scampers across the walls and ceilings, grappling with projections as he floats through empty halls. Not to mention the scene where Ariadne turns a whole city upside-down... literally.Honestly, the biggest problem with the movie is that the dreams sometimes make too much sense. Why do Fischer's projections have to actually TRAVEL to attack the team instead of... I don't know, materializing inside the building?Nolan also populates "Inception" with a lot of actors that he's cast in other projects, especially "The Dark Knight Rises." In fact, I can't help but wonder if DiCaprio's role was originally offered to Christian Bale, because we've also got Cotillard, Hardy, Watanabe, Murphy, Gordon-Levitt and Michael Caine. There are actually only a couple major actors who haven't worked with Nolan elsewhere.But this is one of DiCaprio's best roles, even if he's not very convincing as a father -- his Cobb is riddled with guilt and numb sorrow, and it's only prodding from Ariadne that finally gets him to confront his issues. All the other actors give lovely performances as well -- Cotillard is particularly wrenching as a strange shallow shade of a madwoman, as is Murphy as the downtrodden son of a powerful man."Inception" is the kind of movie that we desperately need more of -- a wild Möbius strip of complex ideas, brilliant direction and powerful acting. This is truly a one-of-a-kind film, and not one to be missed.

I don’t get to watch a lot of movies but I always feel drawn to this one. The adventure, the premise, they’re just so out of the ordinary but you can imagine it being possible. Even with lucid dreaming you could approach some of the ideas in this movie. There are twists, uncomfortable situations, humor, massive suspense and unknowns. It’s just a great movie and the ending keeps you hanging just enough to be intriguing. I’ll watch it again and again forever.

Inception is the kind of film that you either love or hate. Just head over to any movie review website and you will see this first hand. I myself absolutely loved it. The idea of entering people's dreams is certainly not a new premise in Hollywood however, with that being said, this film take the concept to completely new heights. As the title of my review states, very few directors could have pulled this scrip off successfully. It could have easily become convoluted, confusing, and bogged down with exposition. Christopher Nolan does a remarkable job and I have no doubts that is mostly due to the control he had over this film as he wrote, produced, and directed.I don't want to give too much away in this review so ill give just the basic premise and its actually quite simple. People can enter other people's dreams and steal information. Leonardo Dicaprio's character, Dominick Cobb, is one of the best at doing just this and ultimately he winds up being hired by Ken Watanabe's character, Saito, to enter a competitors mind but this job isn't about stealing information, its about planting an idea in this persons mind, a process called Inception. Were led to believe by many characters that such a thing is not possible yet Cobb disagrees and takes the job.That's as far as I will go in regards to actual details about the film as I don't want to ruin anything for anyone. Ill simply say that it winds up being one of the most complex science fiction films I have ever seen yet Nolan never loses control with this film. Everything is masterful sewn together and the experience is second to none. Everyone gives an outstanding performance especially Leonardo Dicaprio, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard, Tom Berenger, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Tom Hardy's performance in particular really blew me away. This film would not have been the same without him.I simply have to mention the score as it was absolutely brilliant and ultimately its one of the best scores I have ever heard. I have to admit I was surprised when I heard Hans Zimmer was the composer. Don't get me wrong Zimmer is a master but his work is usually more predictable and his scores always seem to have a similar feel to them. His work with Nolan on The Dark Knight and now Inception have really pushed Zimmer creatively and ultimately Inception is a different kind of score than I think he's ever delivered before. In all honesty if someone had come to me with this soundtrack a couple months ago, before I saw the film, and asked me to guess who the composer was, Zimmer would have been one of my last guesses. It really is one of his most original compositions.Bottom line - Inception is hands down one of the best films I have seen in years. It has an amazing story, a great cast, some outstanding special effects and one of the best scores I have ever heard. In the hands of most directors this film would most likely have been a blabbering mess but Nolan's dedication to detail makes the delivery of this film practically flawless.5 stars!!

Inception is one of the more enjoyable films that I have seen in some time. It falls somewhere between the Matrix (methodology), Vanilla Sky (multi-layered realities) and the Usual Suspects (densely-plotted, begs more than one viewing.)The result is a thrill-ride that will leave most viewers pondering long after the credits have rolled. It is both provocative and at times mesmerizing, albeit a bit over-thought at times.Though the idea of "dream hacking" is hardly new, Nolan's layers to the idea make the concept seem quite fresh and the result is something unique. Instead of relying on one "plane" of consciousness or dreamscape, Nolan has included "levels", which dictate different levels of a dream and each team member has a role to serve in navigating its murky and at times unnerving landscape to accomplish their mission. Timing is critical at every level and the story is weaved together rather well, though at times it can feel a little overwhelming.In fact, the only complaint I have about the film is that at certain moments it bogs down under the weight of its own complexity and at times, unnecessarily.Part of this is because Nolan is a little unconventional in terms of how he handles exposition. Instead of laying out the rules of the world in one part of the film, he chooses to add more rules as the film progresses.In a more conventional scenario, consider the Matrix:1. First part, we are as disoriented as Neo and do not understand what is happening.2. Second part, the rules of the world are laid out by Morpheus and suddenly we understand what is happening.3. Finally, the action takes place with the audience in the full know of the established rules.With Inception, these rules unfold throughout almost the entire film, much like the plot points. The result is a double-edged sword: On one hand, it keeps the film moving swiftly and you continue to have "ah-ha" moments. On the other hand, it makes one feel like scorekeeping is in order to keep everything straight as you watch it.It's not so much that Nolan gives us TOO MUCH INFORMATION, as much as it that he gives us CRITICAL PIECES OF INFORMATION in VERY SMALL WINDOWS of screen time. This means one ill-timed bathroom break could compromise your entire understanding of the film.Even paying strict attention the entire time, there are still times when details lost because we're too busy absorbing info.Another common complaint is the "ambiguous ending", which has sparked raging debates. I personally don't mind such endings. I like coming to my own conclusions, but that's just me. Unfortunately though, I found more ambiguous moments throughout the entire film, which doesn't work as well. Again, the "rules" get fuzzy at times, which one should always be avoided when doing science fiction, especially as layered as this.That being said, you still feel like you've seen a "complete film" at the end, and it should resonate one way or another, good or bad. No one and I mean NO ONE can dispute Nolan's ambition here. It's one of the most ambitious concepts and films I've seen in years.PERFORMANCESI don't consider myself a huge DiCaprio fan. I love much of his early work but don't remember him in a memorable role since Titanic (I have not yet seen Shudder Island, which I am told he is good in.) I thought he was very strong here, with much of Nolan's script playing to his strengths.Supporting performances were exactly what I expected -- nothing Oscar worthy, but perfectly capable. Cillian Murphy is teamed up with Nolan again, and serves his character well. I feared Ellen Page would be a weak link in the film, but I was wrong. Also refreshing were the performances of lesser known talents such as Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe and Dileep Rao. Michael Caine also has a small part and it's always good to see him.My biggest disappointment was Marion Cotillard, who I thought was rather one-dimensional here. But that may have been more of a symptom of her role.CINEMATOGRAPHYIn standard Nolan fashion, Inception is generally gorgeous and well- shot. I love the fact that Nolan relies less on CGI than the average Hollywood director and still understands the value of organic action, scenes and stunts.MUSICFrankly, I was under whelmed with the score, but less because of the score itself and more so because it seems too loud and overwhelming at times. There were even times when I couldn't even hear dialogue. This is either a mixing/editing problem OR possibly because I was sitting at the back of my theater and it seemed too loud.That complaint aside, the heavy dramatic cuts that prevail in the film are effective and add to the scenes.IN CONCLUSIONI found Inception to be exciting and captivating, and easily one of the better films of 2010. Where does it rank among the all time greats? I cannot say. I do consider it a top-flight science fiction film, but I struggle to think of it as a cinematic masterpiece because I really do think it out-thought itself on too many occasions.Do I suggest you go see it? Absolutely, no questions asked. In parting I'll leave you with....RECOMMENDATION FOR FIRST TIME VIEWERS:1. The first 10-15 minutes are a little disorienting. Be patient, things will fall into place soon enough.2. As mentioned above, try and avoid bathroom breaks. It really can be the difference.3. Sit in the middle or front of the theater. As mentioned above, either by design or because of my theater, the music was too loud at times and dialogue was lost.4. Be prepared to be absorbing a lot of input. You won't have much time to process that input until the film is over.

A film like Inception only comes along once a decade, and it's no surprise it took Writer/Director Christopher Nolan over ten years to polish the screenplay into its final form. The loud and frenetic visuals in the trailer all fall into place when you see the film, which represents a masterful blend of genres and ideas, some of which have been attempted before but never in this combination. Unlike so many Jerry Bruckheimer visual onslaughts or the recycled franchises that use continuous split-second cuts to replace plot, the major set pieces in the film leave the audience literally on the edge of their seats, and it's one of the few blockbusters in memory that can be enjoyed as both a top-notch action movie and a deeply cerebral experience.In fact, Inception is a perfect film on so many levels that it's breathtaking to watch. Apart from the technical wizardry of bringing some of the mind-bending visuals to the screen, the real triumph is in conveying its complex, layered concepts and plot lines in a way that never lectures or loses the audience and never takes a break from the action to lay down exposition. Unlike the sequels to the Matrix, where the attempt to develop the alternate reality of the first film became convoluted and ludicrous in the second and third installments, Inception has enough fresh ideas to feel like an entire trilogy perfectly woven into one coherent and gripping movie. And with a running time of 2.5 hours, it's remarkable that it never once drags or lingers on unnecessary scenes to reach the conclusion.For fans of Memento, it will seem like that film was just Nolan was warming up to getting Inception just right. Roger Ebert made an interesting observation when he said it's a film that defies spoilers, in that even if you know the ending, it's meaningless without knowing how you got there. For film-buffs and screenplay enthusiasts, the richness of the dream-within-a-dream reality and the effortless jumping between different timelines and dreamers' worlds will be studied for years. And even though the film happens primarily in dreams, Nolan avoids the temptation to use the weirdness of the the dream world just to show us something different that ultimately doesn't make sense.And yet despite the tight plotting, fastidious direction and pitch-perfect score from Hans Zimmer, it's the performances of a flawless cast that pulls the whole thing together. Leonardo DiCaprio once again shows us he's one of the finest actors working today, and any one of the supporting cast creates an Oscar-worthy performance. Amongst a remarkable cast, the real star is Marion Cotillard who, in playing the subconscious projection of Leonardo's deceased wife, is both warm and completely terrifying, and grounds the challenges of the hero to chilling effect. She provides the darkness of the theme in the same convincing way that Heath Ledger epitomized the black undertones of The Dark Knight.With Inception, Christopher Nolan underscores himself as one of the best Writer/Directors in Hollywood, and continues to develop not only his own storytelling but the capabilities of his crew, many of whom we've seen in previous films. I don't think you'll see a better film this year, and seeing this was the first time in a long time I walked out of the movie theater thoroughly entertained, intrigued and inspired.

My teen boys and I enjoy movies that keep your brain moving and this fit the bill perfect. We really enjoyed it for our family movie night. It was nice to have a relatively "clean" movie that kept your attention without overloading you with profanity or sexual content.

Favorite movie! Notice something new every time

Mit "Inception" hat Regisseur Christopher Nolan ein Meisterwerk geschaffen, wie es kein anderer geschafft hätte. Mit Darstellern, die auf der ganzen Linie überzeugen, einer Optik, die jedem Grafik-Designer das Wasser im Mund zusammenlaufen lässt, und mit einer Story, die verschachtelt und gut durchdacht ist.Ich widme mich lediglich dem Film und der Qualität des Films, nicht dem Bonusmaterial.Zur Story:Dom Cobb, gespielt von Leonardo DiCaprio, stiehlt als "Extractor" die Gedanken, Geheimnisse und Ideen von Menschen. Dazu versetzt er seine Opfer in einen Schlafzustand, um so in die Träume einzudringen und die gewünschte Information zu entwenden. Diese Form der Spionage ist eine sehr komplexe Technik, und Cobb ist der beste seines Fachs. Doch sein Beruf birgt Gefahr: Da er ein begehrter Industriespion ist, ist er ständig auf der Flucht. Und nun bekommt er einen Auftrag, mit dem er sein Leben wieder ins reine rücken kann: "Inception". Dabei wird kein Gedanke gestohlen, sondern der Zielperson wird ein Gedanke eingepflanzt. Dies ist jedoch ein immenses Vorhaben, da so der Charakter der Person komplett verändert werden kann; die Person könnte den Gedanken auch garnicht erst annehmen. Daher wird ein Team aus Experten benötigt, um die Inception richtig zu erfüllen. Dabei wird nicht nur das Team von Cobb auf eine harte Probe gestellt, sondern auch er selbst: den Cobb, um Genau zu sein seine Vergangenheit, wird zu einer echten Bedrohung.Die Geschichte des Films wird dynamisch erzählt und nach und nach wird der Zuschauer in die traurige Vergangenheit von Dom Cobb geführt. Der Film hat eine Menge Actionszenen, u.a. Schusswechsel und Verfolgungsjagten, die den Spannungsbogen stets auf hohem Niveau halten. Die Schauspieler setzten die Ideen von Nolan grandios um vor allem Leonardo DiCabrio und Ellen Page glänzen in Paraderollen. Die Story ist tiefgründig, aber nicht zu komplex. So geht die Geschichte des Films nicht in der bombastischen Visuallisierung und dem genau so bombastischen Sound unter.Optik & Sound:Hier glänzt der Film auf der ganzen Linie. Die Effekte, die Kameraführung und der Ton sind Punkte, in denen Inception der Konkurrenz nicht nur davonläuft, sondern schon in den Zug steigt und allen davonrauscht. Schließlich gab es nicht grundlos Oscars für visuelle Effekte, Kamera, Ton und Tonschnitt. Schon in der ersten Traumszene zeigt der Film, dass er ein optischer Gaumenschmaus ist. Der Soundtrack zum Film ist ebenso Perfekt wie die Optik. Doch dieses Feuerwerk an Effekten muss man selbst gesehen haben.Fazit:Inception ist ein Film, dessen Idee grandios umgesetzt wurde. Mit einmaligen Effekten, einer Runde Spitzenschauspieler, bombigen Sound und einer komplizierten wie genialen Story ist es durchaus ein Film, der das Prädikat "besonders wertvoll" verdient hat. Doch der Film ist nicht perfekt. Man muss dem Film die ganze Zeit folgen, um nicht von der Story überrumpelt zu werden. Somit ist es kein Film, den man sich ansieht und währenddessen ein Sudoku macht, da man so keine Freude mit dem Film haben wird. Auch wurde häufig schon gesagt "der Film ist schlecht, da er viel zu kompliziert und die Handlung wirr und unsinnig ist". Dies kann ich nur verneinen. Der Film regt zum nachdenken an und ist in keinster Weise "unsinnig", sondern nur keiner dieser "0-Prozent-Hirn-100-Prozent-Action-und-schöne-Frauen"-Filme. Statt dessen bekommt man einen "100-Prozent-Hirn-100-Prozent-Action"-Film, der trotz seiner bahnbrechenden Story verkannt wird. Meiner Meinung nach: Ein Film, der die Latte für gute Filme deutlich anhebt und mit einmaliger Qualität ind Bild und Ton brilliert.

Un Blu-ray eccellente: la qualità video in 4K HDR è fantastica, colori vividi e dettagli nitidi, mentre l’audio è chiaro e pieno, davvero coinvolgente. Il packaging è semplice e classico, come ci si aspetta da un Blu-ray, ma l’esperienza complessiva di visione è ottima. Perfetto sia per collezionare che per guardare il film in alta qualità.

Mind-bending and visually stunning, Inception is a masterclass in storytelling and action. Christopher Nolan blends high-concept science fiction with emotional depth, keeping you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The performances are strong, especially Leonardo DiCaprio, and the layered dream sequences are both thrilling and thought-provoking. A film that rewards multiple viewings and sparks endless discussion—truly a modern classic.
