Christopher Nolan's Inception is one of the most anticipated films for both Oscar prognosticators and blockbuster film fans alike. This time he has brought together a massive cast for a film not many know what to expect entirely. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Ken Watanabe and Tom Hardy and is sure to cause instant intrigue. Also, wouldn't it only be logical for Wally Pfister to again earn a nomination for cinematography after being nominated for Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight? Perhaps this time he'll take home the win. Then you have Zimmer for score and Lee Smith for editing.
Synopsis
Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible—inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.
