Inception

On Friday evening we had our minds blown to bits and pieces while watching Christopher Nolan’s new movie Inception. I had seen some previews of the movie and when the first reviews came in late last week, I was convinced that I would love the movie. And I did.

I don’t want to tell you too much about the movie, because it is something that really needs to be experienced personally. The plot revolves around the concept of people being able to infiltrate others’ dreams and either extract information or implant ideas during those shared dream sessions. Add multiple layers of dreams (dreams within dreams) and time-expansion, which happens when you go from one dream layer to the next and you have an amazingly original idea. Then mix the whole lot with a killer cast, a gripping Zimmer soundtrack, mind-blowing visuals and you end up with a 2.5 hrs movie that is refreshingly different from the usual Hollywood fare.

The only problem: I need to see it again …

PS: There is significance to the photo I posted. Wait until the very end of the movie and you’ll get it.
