Optical Illusion of The Day: Inception’s Endless Staircase




Inception’s Endless Staircase

Posted: 31 Oct 2010 07:49 AM PDT

I just had an opportunity to see Christopher Nolan’s new blockbuster titled Inception. It features Leonardo DiCaprio in main role, and the movie is courtesy of Warner Bros Entertainment Inc. Needless to say, this movie got some of the highest ratings in 2010 (9/10). I found it entertaining enough, but not even close to being best movie I’ve ever seen. Will probably forget everything about it in day or two. But why am I writing all this, is because of a peculiar moment, found somewhere at 40th minute of the movie. Not to reveal any spoilers, two of the main characters found themselves on what appears to be Escher inspired staircase. It appears they keep climbing the ascending staircase, while in fact it’s only an illusion. Check out the first screenshot below, and another one inside this article for solution. Would like to hear your comments on movie itself!
