disagree  mimi 254: Désolée mais " onirique" seul ne ressort pas l'idée de spellbinding ici

  -> Le propre du rêve n'est-il pas de captiver ? Est-ce que quelqu'un s'est déjà ennuyé pendant qu'il était en train de rêver ?

captivants 'mondes des rêves' ou 'rêves partagés'


Explanation:
Ariane : L’architecte
Membre de l’équipe investie d’une grande responsabilité, l’architecte a pour mission de construire le monde des rêves.

L’extraction fonctionne suivant un dispositif appelé «partage de rêve» : on fabrique le monde du rêve dans lequel on introduit le sujet, et celui-ci a l’impression que cet environnement est réel tant qu’il y séjourne.

Elle a su trouver l’équilibre entre la force émotionnelle de son personnage et son rôle de guide du spectateur dans le monde des rêves.»

décors envoûtants issus de l'inconscient


Explanation:
Suggestion. Je dirais "décor" plus que "paysage", je pense que l'idée d'Inception est la tromperie, et donc à mon sens décor fonctionne mieux. Par ailleurs, si l'on dit "de rêve", c'est un peu ambigü car on pourrait croire que cela signifie "enchanteur".

"Cobb is an expert in the mind-bending technology — originated by the military, of course — of “dreamsharing,” which allows him to perform “extractions.”

Basically, extraction involves invading a target’s dreams, constructing and leading the target through a dreamscape “architecture,” and getting him to reveal sensitive information he normally keeps locked deep inside his mind.

The flip side of dreamsharing is something called “inception,” based on the premise that if you can steal an idea from someone’s mind, you can also plant one.

But for a variety of reasons, inception is much trickier and far more dangerous to pull off because it usually calls for building multiple levels of the dreamscape architecture.

Building one convincing level is a challenge. In this case, Cobb and his crew (Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy and Dileep Rao) are aiming even higher — a three-layered dream within a dream within a dream, which carries all kinds of extremely dicey risks."

agree  Titus Haennni: je suis convaincu par l'argumentation en faveur de "décors". Ensuite, je proposerais quand même "oniriques" (et pourquoi pas "grandioses")
4 hrs
  -> En fait ils se basent sur ce qu'ils trouvent dans les rêves d'1 ps pour reconstituer ces décors... si j'ai bien tout compris. D'où la proposition d'"issu de l'inconscient". Pour "grandiose", je lui préfère "envoûtant" ou "fascinant", + proches du sens.

décors oniriques confondants de réalisme


Explanation:
Juste une nuance :)
Je reprend d'autres suggestions pour "décors oniriques", mais ne peut-on pas comprendre "spellbinding" dans le sens de "confondants de réalité/réalisme", le but étant de faire croire à une illusion ?
