Movie Review : "Inception"

Oscar-nominated for Best Picture, this unnerving sci-fi thriller stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Dom Cobb, who earns a tidy sum infiltrating the dreams of corporate titans to steal their most closely held secrets. Tapped by a rich industrialist (Ken Watanabe) for a job involving a rival's heir, Cobb marshals a team of specialists that includes his right-hand man (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), an architecture student (Ellen Page) and a chemist (Dileep Rao). - from Netflix.com


I will be honest. I do not care for DiCapprio. I think all the hype he got when he was first starting out really ruined it for me. And I don't analyze actors and their roles to say, oh he is good so he deserves an Oscar or whatever.... Either way, I got the impression that this film was supposed to be really good. Heck, in the description it says Oscar-nominated. I will admit, it as better than I thought it would be, but overall it wasn't Oscar worthy... though, I will say my definition of that is beyond my understanding. Three solid stars.
