Is The Movie ‘Inception’ Getting Closer to Reality? (video) | Singularity Hub: "In the upcoming movie Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a criminal with the technology to project himself into the dreams of others. The circumstances of the film seem utter fantasy – amazing special effects are a big part of the movie.

Watch the two full length trailers below to see the film’s visually stunning take on the possibility of invading someone’s mind. While you’re marveling at the imagery ask yourself: is the technology of today putting us on a path towards the world of Inception?"
