‘Easily the best film ever made’ is quietly leaving Netflix in just days
'The gold standard of films.'
A legendary Sir Christopher Nolan movie will be leaving Netflix very soon, meaning users only have a few days left to watch it.
Inception was released in July, 2010, and has barely left our minds since – it followed Leonardo DiCaprio as professional thief Dom Cobb, who is able to enter people’s dreams and steal information from their subconscious.
He’s given the task of using his unique set of skills to plant an idea into a CEO’s subconscious, and assembles a team to complete the job.
The Oscar-winner led the star-studded cast alongside Sir Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Elliot Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard.
Unfortunately for film fans, we only have a few more days to stew over that cliffhanger ending as Inception is being removed from Netflix in the US on March 1.
The mind-bending thriller is regularly named among the best movies of all time, and currently commands an impressive 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
An anonymous viewer on the platform raved: ‘You know how there are books, and then there are novels? Books can be good, but novels can beautiful and brilian.
‘Inception is the film version of a novel. Easily the best film ever made. It has the perfect amount of exciting scenes, romance scenes, and complexity [sic].’
Alex J agreed: ‘Amazing movie, very in depth and throws at lot at you that will all make sense in the end. Keeps you thinking even after the movie is over!’
‘The Gold Standard of films. Beautiful cinematography and writing, with suspense and layers. An intelligent film,’ Artin S said.

‘I have no words to describe my love for this movie. Wish I could watch it again for the first time. extraordinary experience.’
Inception hit the big screen more than a decade ago, but the debate around the end scene has never truly died down.
There have been countless theories about that ending (Picture: Warner Bros)Just before the credits rolled, Leo’s Dom was seen reuniting with his children and using his totem – a spinning top which spins indefinitely in a dream and topples in real life, signaling whether or not he’s in reality.
However, the screen cut to black before viewers got to see if it actually fell, meaning we all had to make our own minds up about where his character ended up.
Christopher has always kept tight-lipped over the ending, vowing that nothing else mattered other than what Dom decided was real.
Fans have branded it the ‘best film ever made’ (Picture: Warner Bros)Unsurprisingly, this did nothing to stop fans from trying to get to the bottom of those final few seconds – but Leo previously confessed that he has ‘no idea’ about his character’s fate.
During an appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast in 2020, he touched on the ending, admitting: ‘You’re just focused on your character.
‘I do get involved [with the story], but when it came to Christopher Nolan and his mind and how it was all pieced together, everyone was trying to constantly put that puzzle together.
‘It depends on the eye of the beholder, I guess.’
Inception is available to stream on Netflix now.
