I have never sat so still in a cinema. Walked out into the car park arguing about the ending with a stranger for ten minutes.
Cobb, a skilled thief who commits corporate espionage by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets is offered a chance to regain his old life as payment for a task considered to be impossible: "inception", the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious.

Third rewatch and the rules finally clicked. I spent the last twenty minutes leaning forward with my drink going warm in my hand.
Why this scoreRepeat viewing with a described physical reaction; strong engagement, no reservations noted.

Watched it on a plane and lost the thread twice, but the corridor fight woke me up properly. Came away impressed rather than moved.
Why this scoreConcrete viewing detail and a clear mixed reaction; admiration without emotional engagement.
