Review:

We always knew about how Christopher Nolan’s previous movies were. Complex, full of surprises, deep characterizing, are what we can concluded from Memento, Insomnia, or The Dark Knight. Inception was no different. This movie came directly from Nolan’s fantasy; how about if someone can entering your dream, and then alter your mind and perception, and you won’t realized about it when you’re woke up?

This is such a brilliant movie. The idea to use a dream as another world that could influence the victim in the real world really interesting. Although seems heavy, the storyline of this movie is easy enough to be followed, as long as you pay attention to every detail. Around 2.5 hours long, it wouldn’t make you boring to watch it. The ending, although very open for interpretations, is quite satisfactory.

Leonardo DiCaprio plays as Dom Cobb, the main protagonist of the movie, which won Hollywood Movie of the Year Award and Best Art Direction and Best Original Screenplay in WAFCA Award, could makes you doubt that you are living in the real world and begin to consider that you might are living in your dream world now. What if you couldn’t differentiate between the real world and the dream? That’s the idea that the movie offers you.

This one is a must watch movie. In case you’ve missed it on theater, you can download it from the web. You can also download movies online for the other new titles, such as Skyline, Saw 3D, Takers, or Unstoppable.
