Inception

About a week ago I went to see the new movie Inception. I had been dying to see it, so when I was asked to go with my boyfriend and a few friends I instantly said yes. My brother had called me from home to tell me he saw the movie and it was really good. Another friend had told me the movie had been very confusing, and too long. No matter what I went to see it, even with mixed feelings. Fortunately, the theatre was not as packed as I had expected, I guess since Inception had been out for a while. As soon as the movie began it was hard to take my eyes off the screen.
Leonardo DiCaprio's character was fascinating. DiCaprio plays Dom Cobb, a talented thief, in the "art of extraction". Extraction involves stealing secrets from deep inside the sub-conscience while someone is at their most vulnerable, asleep. Since Dom Cobb took the job, he was never allowed to return home to his two small children. His boss proposes the idea for him to "plant" an idea, this technique is called inception. It had never been successful before, so it would be a huge task. If Cobb can be successful he will get to return home to his children.
The movie spirals in and out of different dream worlds created by Cobb's team of "extractionists". The different settings throughout the movie are phenomenal. If you can accept the idea that the settings are really different dream worlds, you will love this movie. If you're too caught up on the idea that the idea of entering a persons' dreams and rearranging everything, then you most likely won't enjoy this movie. I thought it was a great movie, although it was long, I was so into the plot and the changing settings I hardly noticed two hours went by. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, so I would not be surprised if there was to be a sequel. If so, I definitely look forward to it!
