Critics are impressed by DiCaprio's performance in Inception

Leonard DiCaprio's first starring-role in a science fiction movie looks like it is a success, despite his self-admited lack of interest in the genre.

It is a dark, sci-fi mystery called Inception that is set to open tomorrow, but is already wowing the critics.

Some are calling the movie a masterpiece and there is even talk that DiCaprio's performance in the movie is Oscar worthy.

In honour of the movie's arrival, Rotten Tomatoes has compiled a list of equally impressive sci-fi film noir that are worth seeing if you haven't already.
