Bye bye Newton
Almost two years ago the world was stunned by the awe-inspiring Batman The Dark Knight at the hands of Christopher Nolan. The movie grossed about 1 billion dollars worldwide and has been the most successful movie in the Batman franchise. Fans are still waiting on a worthy sequel, but Nolan has decided to throw us a different kind of bone: Inception.
Inception is described as a sci-fi action movie that will erase the lines between reality and our imagination. It starts with DiCaprio's ominous intro: "What is the most resilient parasite? An idea." Judging from the trailer, this might just be the movie that puts the Laws of Newton to shame.
For those of you who are practically foaming at the mouth, I suggest you check out the trailer on the official website, in one word: phenomenal. We see a city being folded up like a madman's origami dream, a glass of water that is behaving most unnatural, a train that is cutting through street traffic and two men fighting in a hallway that defies gravity. Interested yet?
So far, Nolan hasn't released a lot of information regarding the movie, which is undoubtedly a power move, considering the massive media attention it will garnish in a few weeks. Still there is a small synopsis about the story: Cobb (DiCaprio) plays a CEO-type whose mission it is to steal an idea that is so powerful it could change the entire world. Saito (Watanabe) portrays the villain and is blackmailing Cobb. Now, we don't know a lot about this idea, but by the looks of the trailer it could very well be the end of physics as we know it.
Inception promises to cause a lot of raised eyebrows, dropped mouths and heavy headaches, but it's a small price to pay for a movie that will most certainly completely blow you away.
Inception, July 2010,
Director: Christopher Nolan
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio (Shutter Island), Ken Watanabe (Memoirs of a Geisha), Ellen Page (Juno), Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies), Joseph-Gordon Levitt (GI Joe).
This is my first draft for a review for the school paper. Don't know if it's any good of if it will even be incorporated in the first edition, but here's to hoping!
