Nolan's $837M Sci-Fi Action Leaves Netflix in March, Don't Miss Your Chance to Binge It
This is definitely one of his best works.
There are only a few directors whose every work is considered a masterpiece. And there’s no denying that Christopher Nolan is one of them. From Memento to Oppenheimer, the filmmaker creates mind-bending worlds thanks to his unique vision and unmatched talent.
There’s one particular movie though that is considered his best sci-fi action film, and it’s Inception. The movie premiered in 2010 and remains one of the most influential and critically acclaimed films of the 21st century.
Grossing over $837 million worldwide, Inception has earned a permanent place in both pop culture and film history. The movie explores the world of dreams within dreams, where skilled professionals known as “extractors” invade people's subconscious to steal secrets.
What Is Inception About?
The film follows Dom Cobb, one of Leonardo DiCaprio 's most popular characters, a master thief who specializes in “extraction” but is tasked with an unheard-of mission... The mission is “inception” itself: planting an idea in someone's mind. So Cobb must gather a team of experts to perform this dangerous task on a corporate heir.
But what makes it even more dangerous for him is that he has to manage the mission while dealing with his own troubled past. Something that happened to his wife, played by Marion Cotillard, is causing him a lot of pain. But no spoilers for those who never saw the movie, right?
What also makes the movie stand out, despite the plot and incredible performances, is of course the visuals. The overall mood of the movie is bleak and gory, which creates a rather scary atmosphere. And of course, Nolan's innovative use of practical effects, such as rotating corridors, blend perfectly with CGI to create a uniquely immersive experience.
Where to Stream Inception?
The movie is available to stream on Netflix, but only until the end of the month. So don't miss your chance to watch it for the first time or rewatch it. Because people say the effect of it is incredible even on a second viewing.
“I think the first time you watch the movie you love it for the amazing experience but the next few times you watch it, you start to notice all the subtle details which gives you the joy of putting together a puzzle and it becomes more effective and simply grows on you,” Redditor Mindless-Algae2495 said.
