Inception

[Smokeyjr2]

Just saw this movie and I thought it was pretty epic. The whole movie was very well done and the music really made it even better.

Has anyone else seen this movie if so tell us about it?!

[wolkec]

wow, the description looks awesome, gona watch some...

[Nikran]

I've seen the movie and it was a very good movie. But it does have it's share of problems too......I'll give my break down on them.

Pros
+Excellent story concept
+Decent plot twist with the main char
+Cool effects (Especially when whats her name was trying her hand at creating mazes) or the whole weightless section in the hotel

Cons
-Tried wayyyyy too hard on creating suspense. Come on, around 5 kick backs that need to be done one after another in order to escape while everyone in every fucking dream level is trying to kill you? The way it was done was they just kept piling it on and on and on. Eventually it gets silly, you end up think "This ain't suspense, just stupid."
-Bland action scenes. I dunno about others but I didn't find anything outstanding at all about the action sequences.
-Lenth of Action scenes was FAR too long. I really felt like escaping from the cinema 2 or 3 times because I was fed up of watching an never ending action scene
-Some lack of consistency with the story concept. It's not that much of a big deal, it just bugs me more then others I think.

You know im actually disappointed with the movie in one sense. I reckon that this movie would have been incredible if they didn't include any action in it, but instead enter this CEO's dream and use persuasion, arguement, deception, subterfuge and intelligence to reach an end result where they achieve inception inside of the CEO's mind.

what would i give for more movies like a few good men that didn't require action to a great film

link to the hi-def trailers.   lol and save em.    

movie looks kick-ass and Christopher Nolan never disappoints.

I enjoyed this one immensely, for the sole reason that it had my gears turning till the very end. The plot and story is an immaculate work of art and the concepts are really great. And here i thought DiCaprio was just good at looking pretty on a sinking ship.

[jaybug]

Was this similar to say Dark City, 13th Floor, or perhaps the Matrix?

[Natheria]

Only really similar in the sense that it constantly questions the viewer whether what their seeing is real or not. Image your watching the Matrix and there are 3 or 4 or 5 levels of the matrix and your never quite sure which one your in, then blind fold yourself and have someone spin you around the room so you lose your sense of direction.

I enjoy flicks that make you think however what bugs me are (if you haven't seen the movie DO NOT open the tag):

open endings. I hate that shit, now I'm thinking about it all the time. Was it another layer he was in? Did the sedative really wear off and he got to go home? Cuz that top was definitely about to topple but it didn't. Clearly they were in 4 for many years - or at least the Japanese guy was, so was it long enough for the sedative to wear off and NOT have to go through all 4 layers like architect chick did? Or did DiCaprio get shot and go to a 5th layer?

If you liked Nolan's previous stuff, you'll probably like this.

Good soundtrack, too, although it needed some time to grow on me.  I like this new Zimmer.

[Smokeyjr2]

i loved the music/sound effects myself.

[fohfoh]

I enjoyed this one more than I expected to. Surely one of those you want to watch 2-3 times to get a full grasp of the movie. I pick up stuff faster than others so I expect to be able to understand fully in 2 viewings (which I might wait till the DVD release to do) but others might take more shots.

Easily, the movie "spoils" itself when you contemplate watching more than once. For example, the "circle arrow w/ line" easily tells you how the 'story' goes. Layers are also ambiguous. Separate layers vs sub layers is a concept no one really catches. The latter is shown only once but not many notice it. "Ever realize ____ spends a lot of time doing the things he tells you not to do?"

Also, the "must do X in sequence" thing is silly only if you misunderstand the story. The idea is that if the ______ is not present in the correct layer, the individual "does not die" and lim____ occurs.

Anyone else notice there's quite a few "Dark Knight" actors present? I counted at least 3.


Also... do you think this resembles Matrix more? Or Cube/Hypercube to a small extent?

[McDincht]

I have heard nothing but great things about this movie, I am going to see it asap.

got me buying, pluss the trailers look sweeet

[Takeshi]

Good soundtrack, too, although it needed some time to grow on me.  I like this new Zimmer.

I read this and got the soundtrack. And I must say, it's pretty awesome! I like it very much and I look forward to listening to it while watching the move.

Especially the 7th track Mombasa.

I'm not one for complicated plots or hard-to-understand movies so I'm wondering if I'll even get something out of watching this.

This is one of those movies where you generally need a few watches to figure out everything.

[Meomix]

Heard nothing but good reviews of this movie, it's going to be the first hollywood movie i'll be downloading in a long time.

This movie strikes home for me because my grandfathers know how to do inception.

[kyubixmunky]

Awesome movie.

How did you not think the whole world rolling around as the van is rolling down, while the guy is jumping from wall to wall kicking this guy's ass?

What? Do you mean:

That the rolling was a form of falling? Or are you saying the rolling around was retarded? I've also thought a bit about it and his kids are the same age as they were in his memories - but we don't know how long he's been gone. For all we know it's only been a couple months. More importantly, though, he walks away from the top before it stops spinning - something he's never done before. Clearly, whether he's dreaming or not, he simply doesn't care anymore. So I guess that's 'good enough', neh?

[GregD]

The reason he walked away is because Nolan wanted a close up of the top. There's no real meaning to it.

Except for the fact that everything that you are shown is meant to be shown that way to tell you more about whats going on and what the characters are thinking? Everything a writer and/or director does in a movie/ a book/ etc has meaning and symbolism that you can pull out of it silly.
