Inception

This is the summer movie I have been waiting for. Two reasons - Leonardo Dicaprio and Christopher Nolan. I am a huge Dicaprio fan. His movies seldom disappoint. And Christopher Nolan, its exciting to find out what his follow up to the Dark Knight will be. And after watching Inception, I say he has outdone himself. The Dark Knight success was more due to Heath Ledger remarkable protrayal of the Joker. This one is absolutely Chris own brainchild. He came up with the idea and wrote the script. The concept itself was intriguing. What if you can extract information from someone's dream and what happens if you plant an idea into someone's mind. I love how the story is essentially about Dicaprio's character. His journey to redeem himself. At the end of the day, we are left with questions...is he still in limbo or is he back to the real world?

The action sequences are incredible as well. The climactic scenes leaves you at the edge of your seat. Its surreal watching the van falls in slow motion and everything blows up in sequence knocking the main characters out from one dream state to the next. The zero gravity sequence with Joseph Gordon Levitt is beautifully choreographed. Its the most innovative scene since the matrix bullet time scene.

Watch this, if you have not.
