Let me just start off by saying that Christopher Nolan is a bastard. A brilliant, genius, bastard.Inception is the tale of Cobb (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) and his journey to try and get back to America, where he is currently wanted for murder, to see his children. While abroad Cobb takes odd jobs with Arthur (Joseph Gordon Levitt) hacking into people's dreams to steal important information.
The beginning of the movie Cobb and Arthur are hired by Ken Watanabe's character Saito to do inception which no one believes can be done to a rival business owner. The concept of inception is basically planting an idea in someones head and having them believe that is it purely of their own. To have this done they need a whole milieu of mind hackers to set this up. It's basically like a bank robber movie happening in someones head.
This is where Ellen Page's mind architect Ariadne and Tom Hardy's tricky Eames comes into play. Page basically creates the landscape of the dream, and Hardy's skill is that can impersonate anyone in the persons dream. Pretty nifty huh? Anyway, that's all the plot your getting :p
Now Gordon Levitt is slick in this movie. Just pure awesome in a nice suit. His fight scenes are the most memorable. From going one on one in a revolving hallway to an awesome albeit short stairwell face off, to blowing up an elevator he managed all the action while still looking dapper. Page is fantastic in the movie, taking on a more serious role. She works very well DeCaprio, her character seems to be the only thing keeping him sane at times.
The film is surprisingly easy to follow, even if it makes your head hurt a bit. It's just crazy good and you should turn off your computer now and go to the theater to watch it.
