INCEPTION... Be prepared for ....
Inception, is perhaps one of the most complex movies that has come out in a long time.  The film, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Michael Caine and Marion Cotillard is a film that has many layers to it.  You can not leave this movie once it begins, because if you do, you will miss out on a major aspect of the film.

DiCaprio acts as the team leader, Mr. Cobb.  DiCaprio is a man who along with his team members can enter into the unconscious mind of a person and either extract information, or plant an idea, Inception.

DiCaprio is hired to do just this, to plant an idea in the mind of wealthy son, who holds the remains of his fathers empire, a corporation so  powerful and large that it could end up crushing its one main opponent, that has fallen on hard times.

The payoff offered?  A chance for DiCaprio, Cobb, to be set free from his past, a chance for him to return to the United States and be with his children, all he has to do is simply put the idea in Robert Fisher's mind.  Yet nothing is ever as simple as it sounds, there are inherent dangers to going so deep into another persons' mind and the worst, if you die that deep inside the mind, you could be lost there.

Yet Cobb is willing to take the chance, to be reunited with his children, it is worth the risk.  He assembles a team and plans the mission, each step takes him deeper into a shadow world involving his wife and what had happened to her, and how this had kept Cobb on the run for years, and away from his children.

Once inside the mind of Robert Fisher the dangers get more intense and there is the possibility that no one may survive.  For Cobbs' deceased wife Mal, Marion Cotilland, is trying to disrupt the mission, trying to force Cobb to come back to her.  Only Ariadne, (Ellen Page) knows the truth about Inception and Mal, and what has been behind Cobb taking on this mission.

The pacing is rapid fire and you will have to keep track of where reality really is, because in the end game, so much is happening all at once you begin to wonder about where the reality is.  It reminds one of Renee Discartes tretus on what is real, I think therefore I am?  Does the Candle exist when I sleep?  Do I exist when I sleep, or am I just a projection of God?

Be prepared to go on a journey into shifting aspects of reality and be ready to ask a lot of questions when you come out of the movie.  This film did what Matrix took three movies to do.  INCEPTION, is a nail biting fast paced roller coaster ride that will have you needing to see it again, to just begin to peel off the first layer and see more deeply the layers of illusion and reality that are around us every day... or are they?
