Inception - Spoiler Review

As one of my tasks was to create three different spoiler reviews, out of all of the different thrillers there are i couldn't possible chose where to start. Inception is one of my favourite films, and i was determined to write a review on it, however i found this extremely hard. It is such a good thriller film, it created huge amount of mystery as i still find it hard to understand now after watching it 3 times.

Release Date:  July 8th - Initial release Director: Christopher Nolan Music: Hans Zimmer Screenplay: Christopher Nolan Inception is a science fiction/action thriller film produced and directed by Christopher Nolan, it stars many big names like Leonardo Dicaprio, Ken Watanabe, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy and many more. Leonardo Dicaprio is the lead role, playing Dom Cobb who is a professional thief who specializes in conning secrets from his innocent victims by infiltrating their dreams.

I decided to take my own approach and get a extra deep understanding of the film including the characters, the plot and just a general understanding. While browsing and researching i came across and very helpful\interesting picture which i thought helped explain the film a lot. The image clearly states all of the different levels the characters enter during the film. Even after watching the film many times i am still unsure what i feel about the ending, many people say Dom was in the dream others say he returned to reality.

The film starts out within a dream, straight away mystery is building up as you start to ask questions, why are they in dreams? Who are they? What are they doing? All of these questions circle your head as you watch the film inception, i personally believe there isn't a moment in the film where you can turn your head, the moment you look away you lose track it is a very intriguing film and you have to watch carefully so that you do not miss any clues. After you see a little of the dream, you see the men in the dreams being woken up, you see this as an extremely weird scene as the men are in like traps and are woken up by weird ways such as being tipped into a bath tub.

As they leave the dream in the first scene you start to gain a little bit more of a understanding, of the film. You learn what they actually do and why they go into each others dreams. You also learnt that if the little ball object they have keeps spinning they are in a dream, if it stops it is reality, this is important for them as sometimes they are put into dreams by others when they do not wish to be in a dream.The film includes many different scene where the main character Dom checks to see weather he is in a dream, this makes him seem like a worried mysterious character.

The film has many different scenes where the characters go into different dreams and meet new people, the film as a whole is very exciting and reveals many different mysterious characters and places, one of the main scenes where Dom is explaining how the dreams work shows a very unique interesting frame where the city folds over, the whole concept of the film is mysterious, the suspense is built as you never  know what is going to happen and who's dream it is and why they are there.

The film then Goes round the theme that Dom is hiding something about his lover and where she is,m he thinks about her and the golden rule is that u can not think about real \ old places when you are thinking  of a dream to go to. Suspense is slowly built up and up as you don't know the truth about his lover until it is final revealed that she is in the lowest level of dreams (Limbo) and she is stuck there. The end of the film shows the group of people escaping from the dream, however it is unclear about what happens to Dom. All of the other characters get out of the dream in different ways, suspense is at its highest at this point as you are made to feel on edge and wonder weather the characters are going to make it or not. Dom is then shown with his lover, this makes us think that he is also stuck in Limbo, the last scene of him is him spinning the little object to see weather he is there or not, personally i think he is still in the dream.

As a whole i did not fully enjoy the film, i believe it is a extremely good film and is very unique however i think that i didn't enjoy it as much as i could of. The story line is very mysterious and interesting however in order to be able to follow the story line completely i would make it a little bit more simple. As a whole i would rate the film 3 out of 5.
