Christopher Nolan has made you experience short-term memory loss, sleep deprivation, magic, heroism and psychosis; so you shouldn't be surprised when he dives into your dreams for his next epic. Inception follows Leonardo DiCaprio as a thief who can search your dreams for anything you want kept hidden or secret. He is faced with most difficult task that will reunite him with his family, Inception. The visuals are reminiscent of the Wachowski brothers and action of Brian De Palma, but taken to the next level. This is a film that keeps you enthralled and just confused enough to dive right in. Rounding out the cast with Ellen Page, Ken Wantanbe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy and Micheal Caine makes this visual voyage well acted too. Its nice to see the Christopher Nolan knows precisely what he is doing.

As cliché as this may seem, this movie is a must see for the summer. I was intrigued with the idea of the movie from the first trailer that I had seen, but still not sure I wanted to see it. Leonardo is not one of my favorite actors, but with his stellar ensemble cast I found him to be almost enjoyable to watch. However, as much as I loved the entire cast, Joseph Gordon-Levitt stole my heart in this movie with his adorably fitting suits and his out-of-your-mind Matrix style fight scenes. I think even better than Gordon-Levitt, was the direction of Christopher Nolan. I could go on and on about all of the great things he did as a director in this movie, from the colors palettes of the scenes to the nail biting car chases. Instead I will just say he deserves a super high five for somehow making a mind bending thriller into a summer blockbuster.
Favorite scene: Joseph Gordon-Levitt hotel fight scene.
