    Chris Nolan's INCEPTION will make you...

    ...think...and think...and think..and think...

    On the surface, this is a heist film about a group of people able to enter dreams and steal or plant ideas. But beyond the surface there is so much more going on that it will boggle your mind. It would be impossible to talk much about this film without getting into one spoiler after another. Suffice to say, it is a cleverly written and directed film by Chris Nolan with a great cast including Leo DiCaprio and Ellen Paige, who both do an excellent job, and the try-to-figure-it-out ending will leave you with long hours of discussion with your significant other long after the credits fade.

    All I can say is WOW, what a fantastic ride, and one you will want to take again if only to try and figure things out better than you thought you already had . :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T

    Completely agreed, great flick! Not much to add other than I really liked the soundtrack as well, Hans Zimmer does some awesome work.

        This was definitely one of the best films that came out last year, if not the best. It was incredibly clever and invoked some very deep thoughts for sure!

            It's a film you probably need to see twice or even a few times to comprehend it fully. Well you do if you've had a glass of wine or two beforehand...

              A fine film that will be added to the collection in short order. It will be interesting to re-watch it (along with re-watching Shutter Island) and seeing if anything stands out the second time around.

                My own take on this one is a little more muted. I've seen it twice now, and yes, I did understand more the 2nd time. However, I don't think this film is quite as deep as it portends to be. I do think there's a bit more than just a pure superficial "dream within a dream" thing, but not by much. Nowhere near as complex as the Matrix. So I enjoyed it, but I'm far from overwhelmed.

                    FWIW, there's an iphone app out now for Inception, that will induce dream states. Kind of interesting. I've been playing with it for a few days now.
