Product Description Blockbuster sci-fi thriller written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a professional thief with a difference: the spoils he goes after are not material objects but the thoughts, dreams and secrets buried in the minds of other people. This rare talent has cost him dear, rendering him a solitary fugitive stripped of everything he ever really cared about. When he is offered a chance for redemption by reversing the process and planting an idea rather than stealing it, he and his team of specialists find themselves pitted against a dangerous enemy that appears to pre-empt their every move. The film won four Academy Awards for its special effects, sound and cinematography. Synopsis Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in this sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best there is at extraction: stealing valuable secrets inside the subconscious during the mind’s vulnerable dream state. His skill has made him a coveted player in industrial espionage but also has made him a fugitive and cost him dearly. Now he may get a second chance if he can do the impossible: inception, planting an idea rather than stealing one. If they succeed, Cobb and his team could pull off the perfect crime. But no planning or expertise can prepare them for a dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy only Cobb could have seen coming.

OUT OF THIS WORLD.. .
This is a truly amazing film, a testimony to the wonders of CGI, in which cities rise and fall and cliff faces crash, in dreams within dreams within dreams, Here, dreams are the business of conman Leonardo DiCaprio, who uses them to plant ideas in the minds of opponents of his clientele, mega-rich, multinational corporations. It's a dangerous business, and wow, spectacular things happen in those dreams that could never happen in real life.The dreams need architects, and while the true architect, of course, is director Christopher Nolan, DiCaprio's architect and right-hand girl is Ellen Page, never better. Also giving sterling support are Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his right-hand man and Marion Cotillard as his dead wife, who has a nasty habit of turning up in the dreams and, believe me, she can be a bit of a nuisance.The film is a thriller. We become genuinely invested in these characters and care what happens to them, although the ending, in keeping with everything that has gone before, has a certain ambiguity. The whole is mind-blowing and, quite literally, out of this world. So, a film of enormous originality, worth every one of its five stars ten times over.

Addictive, endearing & disturbing adventure!
First i realise this is adding to the already hundreds of reviews, but hey. If the mark of a great film is one you go back and watch over and over again and still come away with something new each time then this is a great film.There is so much to think about, so much to enjoy, so much to question. The film satisfies on so many levels. I love that i can see influences from other great films such as the better James Bond films, Mission Impossible and The Matrix.The first time i watched it i found the score repetitive and boring. By the fourth watch i was thoroughly enjoying the way it adds and builds with the story. By the sixth i had bought the score! (It is that kind of film).The performances are first rate, the story pulls you in, the action is superb and the film builds beautifully from start to finish. Terrific.

This is an amazing movie. Totally mind bending
This is an amazing movie. Totally mind bending. I am not a huge fan of Leonardo DiCaprio as I find his movie choices unpalatable to my taste but he was very good. In fact all the actors were very good in their own unique ways. It works well that this movie is not filled with major Hollywood actors otherwise they would have taken the focus away from the plot and great action, mind twisting tensions that flow throughout the movie. A huge must buy along with Interstellar. Chris Nolan, a great sci-fi thinker.

Brilliant film that requires repeat viewing
I only sat down to watch Inception for the very first time this year. It was mainly in preparation for going to see Tenet on the big screen. Well first of all I have to say that this film really does deliver with regards to epic visuals and performances. I find it quite fascinating really as I do with anything set within the world of dreaming. I think it's safe to say that Inception requires repeat viewing much like Tenet in order to understand it. I'm thrilled with my purchase and much my delight it arrived in an awesome re-release slipcase that I love.

This critic was proven wrong
I'm known to be quite negative when it comes to the obsession with making special effects so over the top these days. I believe that it's more of a "mine's bigger than yours" complex going on than it's about making a good movie. However, Inception is beautifully made. They've found the right balance between the special effects and story, the acting isn't overshadowed and therefore, these actors are allowed to show what they are made of - it's superb. Buying this is definitely not a waste of money.
