1. Inception.
A very exploited theme in cinema, that could have ended up just as another action movie. A carefully drived story, that takes the watcher to fully concentrate from the beginning. An excellent psychological and sophisticated travel to many multiverses consisting of minds, crossed between themselves architecturing a complex maze.
The movie has interesting concepts and methaphors: The theorethical infinite spinning of the spin, the ability to morph dreams (Penrose Stairs), the limits of the mind to create and sustain lies (Doms methaphor of an idea as a great virus), the innability of people to remember the beginning of dreams, the great motivation of the characters to take a "leap of faith", and the most complex; a dream within a dream. The characters get so deep in their own minds that they get close to lose the sense of reality.In my personal account they go through 6 levels: Reality, 1 dream (The city), 2 dream (Hotel), 3 dream (Mountain), 4 dream (Dom and Mal`s limbo), 5 dream (Saito`s limbo); plus the unknown final destination, as the movie ends undetermined whether agent Cobb ended up in reality or locked up in a dream.
The movie is clear enough, but I recommend to see it twice to get a clearer grasp to some of the concepts without needing to be very focused on the plot.
The movie has some minor holess, that do not influence greatly on the development.
