In a story, and more often screenwriting, writers have a conception they refer to as the "controlling idea". This is an idea that boils down all the complexity of a movie down to one idea, one sentence.
In Inception by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Momento) he has crafted a story who's "controlling idea" is a controlling idea. That is "an idea, planted deep sufficient into a person's sub conscience, will grow like a virus and become the very center of that person's existence" which is referred to as inception. This loop of meanings is just the covering of what is a multi layered labyrinth of a plot and can become very confusing for much of the audiences this film will entertain. But if you can get past the vast complexity of the plot, where Nolen has spared no charge in giving abundance of action, suspense, and drama, you will have seen quite maybe the best Sci Fi film in ten years. I know that's a bold statement and inspecting it's very good but tame 84% rating from Rottentomatoes.com composite of critics reviews, it is still yet to be considered how it will resonate with viewers over the next few weeks. But having seen it for myself I already know someone else viewing will be valuable to fully grasp all this film has to offer and I may write someone else narrative just to explain. For now I will try to by comparison my high praise for this film and effort to apply inception that this film is not to be missed! The story follows Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) a unique data broker who specializes in the art of "extraction", which entails entering a persona's dream and stealing data directly from their mind. Cobb's quality is set against a terrible truth locked away in his own sub conscience. (no Spoiler here) He is commissioned by Saito (Ken Watanabe) a rich Japanese firm owner who wants Cobb to plant an idea inside his dying firm rival's son's mind (Inception) that will lead to the break up of his empire. The stakes are high as well as the risks. In order to achieve this Cobb must reach the deepest level of his targets mind. To do this he must assemble a "dream team" of extremely skilled removal agents who deal specifically in corporate espionage. To achieve inception, his team must take his victim into the deepest reaches of his own mind via a dream within a dream (and then another). This disorienting state that makes it difficult for the field to even realize what is real and what is the dream. The deeper inside the mind, the more dangerous and actions taken in the dream have dire consequences in the real world. But for Cobb, this is the last job he has to do before he can return to his home. But where is home exactly, he is tempted to "make" a home in his dream world but it is there where he must face his most fears and his true enemy. Only Ariadne (Ellen Page), a skilled dream maze designer and his protege, knows the truth and she joins him as he confronts his demons in the deepest reaches of his own mind.

The film has a complexity to it not seen in sci fi since the Matrix. The complexity adds layers and excites many intellectual viewers but it is also the base for its hardest critics citing it to be incomprehensible and trying too hard to fool the audience. But for an performance sci fi thriller, these are complements. Not long before Star Wars, sci fi was considered a "B" movie genre and it is rare to see a film in whether performance or sci fi that isn't full of camp and over laden with Cgi. Granted Inception is not short on unrealistic violence and none of the themes in the film are totally original, "What is real" = Matrix (1999). Dream fighting is nothing new either, = A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). What is new is Christopher Nolan's vision and his skills in writing, directing, and producing take on these themes. After The Dark Knight, Nolan earned himself a opportunity to make a film the way he wanted and getting his way gave us a film that could suppliant his film immortality. This film functions on a high level in every area, acting particularity.DiCaprio and Ellen Page give A performances. Casting was superb even finding spots for film veterans like Michael Caine (Miles) and Tom Berenger (Browning). Camera work and extra effects are sure to be Oscar contenders next year, and the sound track by Hans Zimmer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) is amazing. The tension and compounding friction in the film is so good it's Hitchcockean and interwoven seamlessly with the performance reminiscent of The Matrix and the Bourne series.

The set up of this has the viewer cheering for Cobb and his team to pull off his heist of an innocent man's free will which begs the question of not only will this work but is this just? Why do we want Cobb to perfect his mission? The friction that comes from the ethics of what Cobb and his team are doing is a great example of the perplexity of this film. It is riddled and torn with perplexity and that's what makes it such hard film to "get". But you have to see it for your self and try your best to "get" this film or you just might miss the starting of a great cinematic phenomenon.
Inception: One uncomplicated Idea, Quite plainly A MasterpieceDOKKEN: Dream Warriors - guitar cover using backing track Video Clips. Duration : 4.50 Mins.This was originally released as the theme song to the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors," before it showed up on Dokken's "Back For the Attack" disc. You can see clips from the movie in the background. I ended up improvising two licks of the main solo, and the entire outro solo I just winged. Also, I added a layer of distorted guitar over the beginning riff to beef it up a little. I hope you enjoy it!
