"Inception" Movie Review: Hollywood

Its one of the mind-trip movies that make you work hard as a viewer from the director of “The Dark Knight” and “Memento” (Remember “Ghajini”?). Dicaprio is an extractor, a mind-thief who steals your darkest secrets while you are asleep.Ken Watnabe is a businessman who hires Dicaprio to invade the subconscious of a competitor (Cillian Murphy) and implant an idea that breaks up his business empire. In return, Dicaprio will get his name cleared in a crime he didn’t commit but which separates his wife from his family…

Nolan’s story-telling ability is flawless with unmatched visuals, ideas and execution that mark out the director who gave Hollywood’s best thinking movies. There is little relief in the movie in the IMAX version as Dicaprio sets out the plot to plunder someone’s inner mind with layers of consciousness, dreams within dreams and subconscious subterfuge. There are some dazzling visuals – like the city of Paris folding on top of itself, buildings imploding together, hero’s right-hand man floating through the hotel corridor. If you want to see a Hollywood original before it gets dumbed-down in some Indian remix, catch “Inception” but don’t expect fun.
