We haven’t even hit 2010 yet, and already Christopher Nolan’s Inception is easily one of the most talked-about, buzzworthy films of the year. Sure, it might have a little something to do with the fact that his last film was The Dark Knight, but also because his follow-up stars Leonardo DiCaprio and looks a lot like The Matrix.
Not much is known about Inception, except that it’s a sci-fi thriller that takes place within the architecture of the mind. Based on the trailer, it would appear DiCaprio is part of a team that can somehow enter the minds of others and retrieve valuable information. As such, the real trippy parts of the preview – like when the water is turned sideways or when the guys are fighting on the side of a wall – all probably take place within someone’s actual mind. Bizarre is right!
But Warner Bros. is going to have to find a way to better sell this flick as it nears its summer release date if they want folks to show up in droves at the movie theater. Sure, you have DiCaprio and Ellen Page, but you also have an original idea that might be hard for some to grasp. What do you think? Is this the biggest film of 2010 or does it just look too weird?
