10 Mysterious Sci-Fi Films That Gave Nothing Away

Christopher Nolan's awe-inspiring masterpiece, Inception, revolves around Dom; a thief who enters people's minds to steal or implant ideas inside their dreams. Dom is forced to leave the country after he is accused of his wife's murder. His benefactor tells Dom he will be reunited with his children if he successfully implants an idea in a client's mind.

The film concludes with Dom completing his mission and returning home to his family but it is implied that he may be inside a dream. For ten years, viewers have debated on the true meaning behind the ending. Some fans were so obsessed, they tracked down the actors who played the children to gain insight of the film's conclusion.

But here's the thing; the final scene is intentionally ambiguous. You're not suppose to figure it out. If the story was meant to conclude with Dom in reality, Christopher Nolan would have made it clear. He doesn't want you to go on forums to analyse scenes for hours or study YouTube videos frame-by-frame. There is no irrefutable explanation to what happens in the last shot. You need to draw your own answer.
