If you want to see a movie to get your brain working, go see Inception. You will not be disappointed. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and I have high standards. I'm even doing this at the risk of raising some people's hopes TOO high and therefore possibly ruining it for them. Unfortunately.... I DON'T CARE! IT'S AMAZING! GO SEE IT!
You really don't need to know much about it going in. The story is that there's this guy (DiCaprio) that can go inside peoples' dreams and extract information from their mind by trickery, delving into their subconscious, etc. Certain events happen and he's faced with having to plant an idea in someones mind rather than extracting it; a feat which we are told is near impossible. But, of course, we wouldn't have a movie if he refused to do it, would we? The movie follows the complicated and exciting (and dangerous) process of planting a specific idea's inception (hence the name) into one man's mind so that he believes the idea is actually his.
It's a simple concept but you really do need to have a thinking mind and a fair amount of awareness going into this one. I wouldn't advise going to see it to relax after a hard day at work. Your brain might break and you might cry. No, save this one for your day off, or an evening when you have too much energy to burn and can convert it into brain power. If you understand it, it is a fantastic film. If you can't/don't you'll sit there sighing and tutting and complaining the whole way through, like the woman that sat next to me in the cinema.
You'll love it if you...
Love: science, imagination, suspense, thinking, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (the little guy from 10 Things who is now all growed up!), nerds, sci-fi.
Hate: mindless movies like Dude, Where's My Car and Scary Movie.
You'll hate it if you...
Love: such things as Paris Hilton, fake tans and believe education isn't important.
Hate: using your brain or find it difficult to eat popcorn and absorb information at the same time.
