Dom Cobb is a man possessing an extraordinary talent - he's able to break into people's mind when they are dreaming and steal valuable secrets from inside their subconcious mind, all without the dreamer realising it's happening. However, he is approached by an energy mogul who wants something a little bit different. He wants Cobb and his team to do the opposite of extraction - inception. He wants Cobb to plant an idea in the son of his rival in order to obtain his main goal, but this is something that is extremely hard to do, even for someone of Cobb's talents. He sets about assembling the team he's going to need for this specialist job, and it'll be the perfect crime, ..  Read the complete review

When I was younger I couldn't quite appreciate so much how people attached themselves so much to Directors, why some people were mad about Scorcese or others about Kubrick. As I have grown older I can appreciate that sometimes, a director really brings presence to a film, and their films can be easily differentiated from others. For me the films of Christopher Nolan are very much in that category. Nolan is a British Director of incredible talent, he has been behind films such as Batman Begins and the sequel 'The Dark Knight', the excellent 'The Prestige', and the innovative 'Memento', his films always seem to be somewhat dark, but require repeated viewings ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a Christopher Nolan fan. I don't think every film the man makes is somehow a gilded masterpiece. Memento to me was an interesting concept, but which yields little once you know what the film's gimmick is. Insomnia didn't leave much of a memory of itself. I like the basic concept behind the Batman movies and some of its elements are really good, but they also have too many annoyances for me to fully embrace them. The Prestige I've never seen, which also goes for the two early films of his career. So it's safe to say that I'm not on the Nolan bandwagon that would title him as the new Messiah of filmmaking. Thus I was only hopefully optimistic upon entering his ...  Read the complete review

Inception. We've heard the hype. You know, it's the bloke who made the Batman films, Memento etc. Oh and it's got Leonardo di Caprio in it, who seems to have been in every good film for the past so many years: Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Catch Me If You Can, Blood Diamond, Shutter Island...oh and where it all really began for him: Titanic. Everyone's been talking about the film. "It's brilliant", "It's amazing"... But why has Inception really been such a hit? I mean, Christopher Nolan (the director and producer) has made some very good films, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight being by far the most popular. Memento is his shining star, ...  Read the complete review

In the last 5 years I have really grown to respect the brilliance of Leonardo DiCaprio, he is without a doubt one of the best actors in my opinion of my generation and I think he has really matured since films like Titanic and The Beach and has really been given some amazing roles in which he has been able to show off his fabulous talent. I heard about Inception just after I watched DiCaprio's other film entitled 'Shutter Island'. I was very disappointed with this film, so my theory that most of the films that DiCaprio works on, are good. That being said, as I looked through the plot, the Director and all of the cast that would be appearing in the movie, I ...  Read the complete review
