The plot. The story is about people who use a device for entering other people's dreams. This is mainly used for espionage. It's used to get information of all sorts that the person would otherwise not release. The story tells about a man who specializes in extraction or information from people's minds. He gets an assignment to plant an idea into another persons mind, which is called inception, hence the name. Since inception is a lot more difficult than extraction, he and his team have to enter many different levels of subconsciousness of the subject.
General thoughts. This is quite a difficult movie to follow. Not too difficult, so any person with the ability to think logically should be able to follow it without problems. So this is basically a movie that you have to concentrate on to understand what's going on. I enjoy movies that make you think and this one certainly does.
On the other hand, I think this could have been a bit better. There were some moments, where a plot twist would have spiced things up a whole lot. I'm not exactly happy with the ending, because I was expecting more to happen. The plot left the ending open for a lot of development. I hope they are planning to do a sequel to expand it some more.
A thing I like about this type of Hollywood block-busters is the eye-candy and Inception did not disappoint. There's the part where this girl bends half of the city upside down (as seen in the trailer and on the poster) and another one where the gravity either shifts around or disappears completely for a while.
The whole concept of controlling dreams is actually very real. It's called Lucid Dreaming and I think this is another thing that would be nice to include in the sequel, if there ever is one. A person that could control what happens in the dream and can attack any extractors that enter his dream.
This movie is for anybody who likes a movie that makes you think. If you like this one, you will like Memento.
