INCEPTION directed by Christopher Nolan is a movie that needs continuous attention of the viewer and not only attention it also gives a viewer challenge to catch the pace of the movie. He has delivered a product which has both attentive storyline and excellent narration with utmost cleverness. He has entertained the viewer and let the viewer web the idea of the happenings in the mind.

Dom Cobb (DeCaprio) is skilled to extract information from a person’s subconscious mind in the state of dream. He creates the imaginary world in the person’s dream with resemblance to reality so that the target caught not get to know that if he is in a dream or reality. This skill has put Cobb in great danger and made him fugitive of his country. But he gets a chance where after completing the last mission he can get back to his country with free from all the charges. But the task is not so simple and has great amount of risks and complications with it. He is accompanied by others in this act as his team members and where there is danger there must be enemies.

Initial part of the movie tries to explain how Cobb and his team do the whole extraction from mind, how the process happens. Mid of the first half to the end, more attention is given to the last task to be done. They explain what and how the dream within the dream stuff works and what may occur if things go wrong and this makes the whole thing tricky.

The imaginary world of dream is a visual treat and the way Nolan has created the world according to the different character’s thinking deserves special mention and applause.
The viewer takes time to catch up the whole stuff as the narration goes on and things gets interesting.

Storyline as said earlier-mind blowing. Characterization and narration is top notch. Performance wise DeCaprio leads the cast and all have done excellent job.

All in all a movie which can become classic. And shows that still good stories are written and executed also very well. Surely recommended but not to all the viewers.

(Bring your brain with you when you watch the movie)

RATING: 8.75 OUT OF 10.
