Have you ever gotten that feeling that something is too good to fully enjoy? Inception was one of those to me.
Most of us (including me) are sick of lame stories with cool graphics. Inception is a fantastic break from these monotonous collections of violence.
Inception’s story is not rooted in a war or a simple conflict. Don Cobb and his associates are mercenaries in the high-risk world of corporate espionage. The story is based on the unique ability of Cobb and a few others to invade someone’s mind while they’re asleep. The so-called “extractors” raid someone’s mind while they are dreaming.
However, Cobb is accused of using this technology to murder his wife, and is on the run around the world. Mr. Saito offers Cobb the opportunity of his life: re-admission to the US, the ability to see his family. At one cost: he must perform inception.
While extraction is just stealing, inception is the planting of this idea. As the culmination of his career, Cobb puts out his very best.
This is a non-stop, suspenseful thriller with cool science-fiction twists and creative incorporation of action with actual merit. This is possibly the best movie I have ever seen, and this is more of a must see than Avatar in my mind.
