Inception * * * *

After Memento, The Prestige and The Dark Knight, comes yet another Nolan masterpiece which will rip your brain apart.I bet the amount of thinking you put into it even when watching it the first time, is more than enough to put you through CAT. What follows it is, a lot of debates and group discussions over what to take out of the movie and what actually Nolan might be thinking.Will that freaking totem fall or not ?

In this hi-tech era, nothing seems to be safe.Even ideas.Your own ideas inside your brain are not at all safe.There are these people who call them selves 'extractors'. These specially skilled people can get inside your dream world and can steal the most valuable secrets. One such thief 'Cobb' claims that he can perform Inception by planting an idea into someones mind. And in return he seeks his children and his home in States.

So in order to get all this, he forms a team and the adventure begins.Cobb had already performed an inception on his wife but she dies eventually as something goes terribly wrong.With all the Matrix drama all over again, Nolan creates an insanely brilliant thriller in which you cannot afford to miss a second.A second in the real world i meant.Leonardo DiCaprio is on a roll.He pulls off a stunner post Shutter Island.The thing with this flick is, the script is so involving and delicate that you just cannot put your focus on anything else.You don't get to focus on characters.You don't get to see the camera work.All you have on your mind is a question. In whose subconscious are we into ?

But that's the USP of the movie.It's so freaking complex, that you actually start enjoying the puzzle.And as it unfolds towards the last moments, Nolan kicks you on your face so hard that you are never going to forget this ride.Sometimes some questions unanswered is for the best.After this one thing is for sure, Nolan has been very successful with his Inception.No I mean it actually. He has planted something in your subconscious mind.That he is God! And hell yeah, we believe in him.And also i am happy that i wrote this review before somebody steals it from my mind :D
