There is one movie I want to see this summer. It comes out July 16th. I am leaving civilization for six weeks July 12th. Such is life.
Anyway, the movie is Christopher Nolan‘s Inception, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and has enough build-up to indicate it will rival Memento as Nolan‘s best work. The plot synopsis has finally been revealed [via GATW]:
Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible—inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.
This only adds to the anticipation, thorough yet intriguing. It is a genuinely stellar plot synopsis, offering just enough information to make me want to see it even more. I can’t wait to get back so I can catch this flick.
What do you think about the plot synopsis? How will this compare to Memento?
