The title of the film is "Inception". The director of this film is Christopher Nolan. The film consists of one part. The genres of this film are fantasy, thriller, action films. The film was shot all over the world, with director Christopher Nolan working with the cast and crew in Tokyo, the snow-capped mountains of Calgary, the exotic streets of Tangier, the picturesque corners of Paris, historic London and modern Los Angeles. The plot of the film is as follows: certain people called Cobb and Arthur are “extractors”, people who penetrate a person’s subconscious during sleep in order to obtain the information they need. The whole film is built around this. In my opinion, the acting in this film is excellent, each scene is very well revealed by the emotions of the actors. The picture on the screen turned out great, it looks very good, the special effects are also wonderful. I recommend watching this film because it has a deep and interesting plot. Everything becomes clear only towards the end of the film. The musical accompaniment in this film is wonderful, the music very well describes what is happening on the screen (I think this is because Hans Florian Zimmer was responsible for the musical accompaniment). I like this film for all of the above points.

This amazing thriller ticks almost all the boxes of the perfect movie. It's not too long and the Star studded cast proves why this film is a modern classic.

What's more powerful, the dreamer who creates the dream or the dream itself?! Dom Cobb is a thief who is best know for stealing information from people's heads, only for him to pull off the seemingly impossible task of implanting an idea in someone's mind, which requires a crew of experienced thieves to pull off. Philosophical and action-packed, Christopher Nolan crafts an in-genius heist thriller where you break into a person's mind!

Nolan is exploring dreams and the possibilities are endless, which is why it’s a little disappointing that so much of the film feels like a generic CGI action movie, albeit a high-class one.

Inception engaged on a mainly intellectually level, but that isn't to say that film didn't pack an emotional impact.
