Christopher Nolan, one of the greatest living directors to date, brought us the sci-fi masterpiece ‘Inception’. The brilliant ensemble cast that includes Ellen Page, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, and Joesph Gordon-Levitt weave their way through a world where one can infiltrate dreams. This is a top rate blockbuster that goes beyond just popcorn entertainment. ‘Inception’ delivers to the audience an expert philosophical and emotional one two punch.

Snow Piercer
Released 2013
Before Bong Joon Ho generated waves with his Best Picture winning masterpiece 'Parasite', he made a cult sci-fi film of equal gravitas. Leading the cast with his sobering performance is Chris Evans (Captain America himself). The film revolves around a dystopian future where what is left of humanity is forced to live on a train. It is politically topical as it parallels the current class warfare and critiques the corrupt aspects of capitalism.
