Inception is by far one of the most intriguing movies ever made starring Leonardo DiCaprio who is a master dream extractor – one who is able to place an idea into a character’s subconscious. Director Christopher Nolan, who apparently spent ten years writing the screenplay, created a unique concept with astonishing execution that involved jumping from one dream to another and another, dissolving time and reality in a complex maze. Its an intellectually stimulating science fiction movie with astounding visuals and a stream of interesting cast.
The movie is a perplexing labyrinth of reality intertwining with dreams intertwining again with reality. How does time in dreams work? Does it work? Does gravity? How deep inside a dream can one go? If someone is able to jump into your dreams when you are asleep, imagine the possibilities there could be of unearthing those delta-state vivid visuals and applying them in real life. Even if we explained how the movie ended, one would still need to know the background information that led the movie there. Explaining the movie itself would also lead to more questions than there are answers. In short, Inception remains a movie immune to spoilers. Watching it is the only way to understand. The movie makes you question the perspective of the protagonist while exploring the merits of tinkering with people's thoughts. In "Inception," the mind is a dangerous place that doesn't appreciate diversions and it defends itself fiercely.
