Inception

There are movies that entertain and then there are movies that thoroughly engage and thrill you through action packed, brainy deep twists. INCEPTION, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, is one such mother of a movie.
It is a cleverly conceived maze of perceptions and ideas perfectly performed by a credible cast of characters. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a seriously credible spy who steals information by going into other people's dreams. He is on his last job. Equally captivating are Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Dileep Rao, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe,and others who are either part of the scheme infiltrating the dream to be robbed or who are being robbed.
I recommend you make all your restroom stops prior to the start of the movie because you will need to engage yourself mentally and emotionally without losing a moment's worth of dialogue. If you thought a plot within a plot is complicated, then imagine a plot that engages a dream within a dream within a dream. Mind bending, to say the least. You'll be hopping in and out of different dreams involving all the characters.
Mind bending beautiful imagery, a cleverly crafted maze of intelligent entertainment.

Did I forget to say I highly recommend you see it once, and then perhaps twice.

This I humbly speak...
