Inception Review

I love movies that have you on the edge of your seat and keep you guessing. I like twists that you would never expect at the end of the movie, even though sometimes it can tick you off. One movie that I saw not too long ago that had just that effect was Inception. Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page are not my favorite actors. They are probably two of my least favorites, but that did not ruin this movie for me at all. The movie is based in a world where technology has the ability to enter the human mind and invade dreams. Leonardo DiCaprio of course plays the leading role, who plays a thief and goes into the minds of people and steals ideas and information from their dreams. He also has a team of specialists to help him along the way. Cobb (DiCaprio), is very skilled at the art of extraction, and has also become known as a fugitive. He needs to complete one last job for a chance at redemption, except this time instead of stealing an idea, he will have to plant one. The movie is really weird and kind of hard to explain. But when I say weird, I mean weird in a good way. It was just so interesting to see how they went about going into somebody's dream. They would put an IV type thing in their arms, and then they would just fall asleep. All of the IVs were attached to the same box-like machine, that way when they all went under, they would all be in the same dream. Eventually at the end of the movie you find out that Leonardo DiCaprio's character Cobb is pretty much insane and is stuck in a state called Limbo. In the movie, you have different levels in your dreams, and the deeper you go, the longer it takes for you to wake up. Cobb went one too many levels than he should have, and became trapped in that level of "limbo" forever.
