    Inception: What dreams may come?

    Inception is the long anticipated latest movie from  director Christopher Nolan of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight fame.

    Inception is the long anticipated latest movie from  director Christopher Nolan of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight fame.

    This action thriller movie focuses on Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), the self-proclaimed “best dream extractor”.

    Cobb uses his wide range of skills to infiltrate people’s dreams and extract secret information from a target’s subconscious.

    Cobb and his partner, Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), specialise in corporate espionage, until they are discovered by one of their targets, Saito (Ken Watanabe).

    Saito offers the pair a dangerous challenge to perform the act of inception, the planting of an idea deep within a person’s subconscious.

    This offers Cobb a chance to get back the life he lost. Cobb and Arthur put together a team of “dream specialists” to get the job done, including the young and talented dream architect Ariadne (Ellen Page).

    The movie makes use of a unique technique of layering narratives during dream sequences in which people dream within a dream.

    The action sequences are distinctive and imaginative, as the rules of physics and time become  warped in the dream world.

    Although Inception is over two hours long, one finds oneself so immersed in  the story that time passes as if in a dream.

    The dream scenes provide plenty of surreal and mind-bending  special effects that walk a fine line between the believable and the ridiculous.

    Inception is potentially very confusing, but offers plausible explanations, as long as one pays attention right up to the film’s  deliberately ambiguous conclusion.

    As Cobb says: “Dreams feel real while we’re in them. It’s only when we  wake up that we realise something was actually strange.”
