Inception – Review

The Dream Is Real


The PR machine for Christopher Nolan’s “existential heist thriller” is well and truly in motion, people. Yesterday we had a great featurette to watch and today four posters have been put on the world-wide-web (via Collider) and they absolutely rock. Inception could be the brainiest, coolest and most visionary work of the entire year, never mind, summer.

With its international locales, visual richness, brilliant cast, sci-fi flourishes and mind-being plot: this is definitely a case of ‘great expectations’. God, I can’t wait to see this!


Synopsis:

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible–inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.
