Inception

Summary: A man is made an offer he can't refuse to produce an inception of an idea to his target rather than steal a target's deepest secrets in the vulnerable sleep state. In this dream world, the rules are allowed to be bent. This movie shares some semblance to the Matrix. The offer that the main character is offered, is to return home where we soon learn are plaguing his own subconscious and offers a formidable obstacle to completing the current task.

Review: The cast was loaded with a lot of big names headlined by Leonardo DiCaprio and had a strong foreign presence as well: Marion Cotillard, a French actress, Ken Watanabe, a Japanese actor, Tom Hardy and Michael Caine, British actors, and Cillian Murphy, an Irish actor. Ellen Page does a solid job too. The plot was complex and really makes the viewer think. It was difficult to follow at first, but when you start thinking about the rules, you can construct the reality that the director intended you to construct.

Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: What is reality? How dangerous is an idea?

Power Rating (Out of 5) and Comments: 4 Leonardo DiCaprio has really blossomed into a great actor through his selection of roles. In this movie, his talents weren't as showcased as in other past movies, but the plot and ideas of this movie are extremely intriguing. The visuals and soundtrack of this movie also deserve accolades. It was a well made movie and not one of those big budget flops that have only a lot of hype, but no substance.
