Dream With In A Dream

            One of 2010’s most brilliant movies, released on July 16, Inception made a huge bang in the box office. The movie won 75 awards out of 102 nominations, 4 Oscars, and earned a gross total income of 292.6 million. The writer, Christopher Nolan has written other movies as well such as The Dark Night, The Dark Knight Rises, and Batman Begins. Yet, still Inception stands out on its own as a more suspenseful and mind boggling movie. Unlike the other superhero movies, Inception attacks the human subliminal mind. Main character Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a skilled extractor that steals valuable information he needs by getting into a person’s mind. Dom Cobb’s goal was to eradicate information from a human mind during the dream state, where the human conscious is lowered, and as a result secrets could be extracted. A twist comes into the story when Saito (Ken Watanabe), offers Dom Cobb a Job. A job offer that asks for inception, instead of stealing a secret he asks Cobb to plant one. Out of jealousy Saito strives to destroy his competitor’s corporation of an energy conglomerate. The owner of the opposing company is Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy). In return, he offers to give Cobb his life back. Inception is almost entirely impossible task to accomplish but, Cobb still tackles it. This movie was by far one of the best movies in my opinion, and it is a must see because it redefines the word "epic".

           Special effects in this movie were surreal, edgy, and artistic. Objects were flying at me, almost as if the effects where in a third dimension, and yet I acquired no special lenses to sense that feeling. Like when fruits, tables, and windows exploded down a street sending everything everywhere, even through the screen. The effects revealed the unknowns in the human mind, the weird things that we may dream about have far more significance then we may think. That is interesting. A simple object like a train is to Dom Cobb. The editing of the movie I believe was fascinating, the movie cut down to the main points and editors tried to make it as understanding as possible. Both sound and picture bring this sort of suspense to the movie and an edgy drive that although you may know what is coming next, it still can make you feel anxious. Although it may bring you on this wonderful roller coaster ride, it can also be confusing. The sophistication of the movie can introduce a lot of information to digest. It is not one of those movies you watch once; you may need to watch it more than once to fully grasp the idea of the movie.

            For those who seek action, adventure, and mystery all in one, this is the movie for you. For those who do not, you may be converted into seeking such thrills after watching Inception. Although the length of this movie is almost two hours and half it is certainly worth the money and the time. Epic movies like Lord Of The Rings or Pirate of the Caribbean cannot even stand on the same pedestal as Inception. The creation of the this movie is far to articulate to be a competitor. This movie deserves a 9 out of 10.
