Inception, the new movie by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Memento) and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is probably the best movie of the year.
But it is certainly not for everyone.
Nolan has become a master of new storytelling, and Inception is no exception. This movie is a mixture of Memento, with a touch of the Matrix and The Dark Knight mixed in.
The movie is based on the concept of extraction. Extraction is performed by memory experts, in this case Dom Cobb (Dicaprio) and Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who is Cobb's key partner. There usual jobs entail invading a person's memories and dreams in order to steal valuable information.
But inception is a variant of this, and much harder. During an 'inception' procedure, you don't try to steal information...you try to implant it. This is much more difficult, because you have to make the target believe that they themselves came up with the foreign thought.

Absolutely agree...dreamscape definitely influences this movie...
Agreed. We enjoyed it and thought it went by very fast. It's just a movie, folks.
I loved the flick. Last time I liked a flick this much was Dark Knight and before that Matrix.
Great movie. A little long but totally worth the money and time.
I saw it on Saturday and the theater was packed.
This is a fantastic movie. Saw it tonight and it still has me thinking about the film. I don’t want to spoil anything but need to see it again because I feel like the movie is a puzzle and need to put all the pieces together to figure out the big picture. Christopher Nolan is one of the more talented Directors our there and really knows how to tell a story. Something that Hollywood has forgotten how to do.
You haven’t seen the matrix?
Saw it. Didn’t like it. No offense.
Music can make or break a film and Zimmer toasted this one. There were a couple other things that I didn't like but none of them ruined the film like the score.
Wow. I really liked the score. Just like in Dark Knight with the base and cacophony. I saw it in Imax and that sound system packs some watts
The track kept me on the edge of my seat and really ramped up the intensity of scenes without getting in the way of it.
I too thought the music very good/appropriate for film, which I have seen 5 times so far & including once at IMax (which really rocked with the sound). Esp loved the ending music when the dreams were unfolding
Everyone likes different movies, I would think people should know which genre are turn on/offs for them & chose or avoid appropriately
5 times! Holy Cow!
Amazing movie! Nolan's cinematography was genius. I loved the score ....the music heightened drama.
An intelligent film.
Agreed, most overrated movie ever. Very slow, very boring characters and horrible music. Very ez to follow too, not a challenging movie like Memento or Sixth Sense.
agree... it was amazing how second viewing cleared up a few things.. and it happened afterward also with further viewings. I want to see it one more time before it leaves big screen/3D. Might take the trip over to our IMax again.
You weren't talking about me, were you?
LOL PB!
anyone. I have a cousin who HATES special effects. But she regularly goes to see them & then complains about what Hollywood puts out. For every special effect flick there are 4 w/o..
same for sex, violence, language
I know for sure my turn offs & my people turn offs & avoid them at every turn
