20 Most Rewatchable Sci-Fi Movies Of The 21st Century
19. Inception
Directed
by Memento helmer Christopher Nolan, this 2010 effort stars Leonardo DiCaprio
as a professional dream invader—yeah, it’s no wonder this one needs more than
one viewing to be fully understood.
Borrowing from the late Satoshi Kan’s superb 2006 effort Paprika, the unbearably tense thriller sees its widowed protagonist talked into one last job as he and a crack team endeavour to implant an idea in the mind of a corporate heir. Corporate subterfuge has never been so confusing, and you’ll need at least two viewings to fully understand this one.
But much like his earlier aforementioned psychological thriller, Nolan ensures there’s enough charming banter between the team and believable development for Leo’s tortured hero that you’ll return to this one even after you actually understand what’s happening.
