This Review contains spoilers  #SpoilersAlert

We all know Leonardo DiCaprio eminently known as ‘Jack’ from the legendary movie “Titanic”, who dies by sinking on sea. This movie begins on a seashore where Leonardo he wakes up, we can relate this opening to Titanic’s closing stage. As I said before this review contains spoilers so make sure you watch the movie before reading it!

Dom Cobb (Leonardo) steals impression from his victim’s Dream’s, Arthur (Joseph Gordon) researches on extraction of their victim’s dream. Cobb and Arthur are hired by a millionaire Mr. Saito’s (Ken Watanabe) to introduce an idea into a rival- Robert Fischer’s (Cillian Murphy) mind. He builds a team with Ellen Page, Tom Hardly, Dileep Rao, and including Mr. Saito. The roll of Ellen page (Ariadne), as an architect of the dream world was superior.

The main Plot orbits around Cobb’s guilt towards his wife’s Mal (Marion cotillard) death and their two kids. When they both get to reality Cobb’s wife believe that she was still dreaming and their kids were projection of their own subconscious mind. I cannot articulate more.

There is a device called Totem, it is a unique one used to differentiate the reality and dream. The meaning of Inception is seeding an idea in victim’s subconscious mind by extraction method. At each dream level, the person who generates the dream stays behind to set up a “kick" that will be used to awake the other sleeping team members from the deeper dream level; these kicks must occur simultaneously at each dream level, this is sturdy charge. The Approximate time leave variation is explained as 10hours reality = 1 week in 1st level 6months in 2nd level and 10 years in 3rd level.

The screenplay by Christopher Nolan is mesmerizing. He shatter opens the apprehension in appropriate intervals. There is slight drawback in the unfolding methods hence it leads to confusion and it makes it hard to the audience to understand. Nolan tries to tell every possible aspect about extraction of dream and inception through Dazzling maze. We can see his study on inception through this film. It is to note that Nolan took 10 years to write the screenplay for the movie.  The idea of saving all his favorite moments of Cobb’s life on his own dream was notable.
