Inception. Weird but awesome!

I went to see Inception at the movies today. Wow!!!

If you haven't heard much about it there is a great review here. Leonardo Di Caprio is the lead character and basically he goes into people's dreams and steals stuff from their subconscious. Most of the movie is set in dreams within dreams as they show you what this whole dreamworld industry is all about.

It's a little bit confusing for some people but you just have to go with it because it is so imaginative and creative you can't try and think too much about everything that's going on. It's visually spectacular and has some really loud music that can be a bit distracting but overall it is a pretty amazing experience. There's not really another movie like it, I suppose you could say it is a little bit like the Matrix except more intelligent and much much better.

The best part about it (i think) is the cast and acting. They are all amazing. Marion Cotilliard plays Leonardo's wife, she is great. Other good actors in it are Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ellen Page and Michael Caine, as well as some other really great actors (whose names I don't know!)

Look all asleep having a dream within the dream!!

Inception - Paris folding in on itself!! Amazing.

I think some people won't get it and I am not going to even try and explain the plot but it's worth it for the creativity that you just don't get in most movies these days.

You should go and see this movie, I think it is the best of the year so far.

  1. By "confusing for some people" are you referring to me??? Hahaha I was so confused at the start. Probably didn't help that I KNEW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the premise of the film. I went on the basis that it's Christopher Nolan's new film (he resurrected the Batman Franchise and directed "Memento") and that "Inception" has an awesome cast.

    This is one film I need to watch again...and I agree, it takes the "Matrix" films idea to a whole new level in terms of philosophy and emotion.
