'Inception' Tenth Anniversary Season
Christopher Nolan's 2010 mind-bender is returning to the big screen.
Overview
With Wellington's cinemas shutting down for months due to the COVID-19 pandemic — and only starting to reopen this month — the idea of watching a movie in a darkened theatre currently feels a bit surreal. On Saturday, June 27, that'll just be the first level of your dream-like film-going experience. Expect at least four others, with the dreams within dreams (within dreams within dreams) of Christopher Nolan's Inception returning to the big screen.
Ten years after it first hit cinemas, the acclaimed mind-bender is back — to mark that anniversary; to help get everyone in the mood for Nolan's new movie, Tenet, which has had its New Zealand release pushed back until Thursday, July 30. So, if you were looking forward to a mid-July date with a twisty Nolan action-thriller, that can still happen.
As written and directed by Nolan, Inception became a fast favourite a decade ago for plenty of reasons, including its dream-hijacking premise, its eye-popping visuals and its fantastic cast. In case you've forgotten the setup, it follows professional thief Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), who steals secret information from his targets' subconscious while they slumber — with help from the likes of Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger and Michael Caine.
