Summarised Review
A meticulously planned, seamlessly filmed, in depth-depiction of the dangers that one may come to face when toying with the subconscious mind. The incredible visuals in this piece of artistry highlight the intention behind every cinematic detail of the storyline to a magnificent extent. The main character, Cobb has an internal battle to fight as a result of his turbulent past, giving him an intriguing, more personal extra layer. The circular structure is formed via impressive connections made between very specific elements within the film, suggesting that an incredibly mathematical/logical mind was behind the creation of this ingenious piece of cinema. This is more than just a lucid dream. It's the future.Themes explored: transience, mind control & reverse psychology, the conscious & sub-conscious mind, love, loss, illusions & projections, humans vs. technology.
