Inception Options

[+Ed+]

For the first time in my entire life I have seen the same movie 3 times in a row in the cinema in the run of 2 weeks.

Who else enjoyed it?

loved it. despite the popular consensus i think leonardo is a fantastic actor and was blown away with shutter island and now this. Truly creative cinema at its finest. it was a bit loud and my brother walked out towards the end for this reason due to his tinnitus, but i wasnt bothered. would benefit a lot from repeat viewings but my intitial reaction is wow! mind-fuck and a half. fuck the director for the last shot!

oh p.s. i saw mortal kombat three times at the cinema when i was 13. also saw romeo + juliet three times, i think i was 14. apart from that ive never been compelled to see a film (at the movies) more than once

Nice thoughts there Wam!

Indeed, Nolan did his best to have a tremendous line-up for the movie and in itself it provides a tremendous impression!

BTW, here is a lil smth about the ending and brain fucking. AttentioN! Spoiler alert!

It was very good. If Christohper Nolan could just direct every movie coming out of Hollywood we would be a much better race. One of the few who just continues to do better and better with each release.

Inception was great, I'm not a big Leo fan, like a few other actors, I'm very aware that he is acting, and that hurt it a bit here too. It's not that he's bad, but he can never really sell a character to me, I always just see it as Leo acting. Ellen Page's gorgeousness distracted me from him when they were on screen together so that helped!
It wasn't 100% original and it wasn't exactly as complex as I thought it would be, I followed along properly with the first watch.

But it was gripping .. never wasted a moment, had you completely sucked in at every turn. Every single scene meant something and fit, didn't seem like anything was left on the cutting room floor. Joseph Gordon Levitt .. man that guy is just Heath Ledger incarnate really. I know Nolan doesn't want to do The Joker again without Ledger, but JGV could easily pull off a cameo under the make up, the similarities are scary.
Sad Michael Caine didn't get more screen time, more movies need Michael Caine.
The action and effects were glorious without looking too CGI or over the top, very well pulled off. I love how Nolan prefers things to actually be pulled off in live action rather than CGI .. the truck flipping scene from The Dark Knight for example, they actually flipped a whole semi trailor truck rather than computerised it. There's something about when you do that gives it a magic, like the Zero Gravity fight scenes in Inception.
Besides Leo I thought the casting was perfect. Def need to see it again.

7.5/10 (and I'm a hard marker)

its not that i had a hard time following the plot, (apart from having to use my fingers every now and then to count how many dream phases they were currently operating in) but i know with movies like this you can find more and more hidden detail the more times you watch it. Its like with shutter island, i thought it was fairly straight forward then after thinking about it i began to remember things, like the crazy lady who "shooshed" leo at the begining at the psycho ward, or the fact that mark ruffalo fumbled with his gun when asked to hand it over. All of these things are shot subtly enough by a talented filmmaker so that it passes you by on the first viewing but remains in your subconscious and maybe pops up in your head or dreams a week later. With inception im still trying to digest it all but little things are nagging at my brain. like why does tom berenger look like such an old man?

I liked the movie a lot on the whole but I thought it started to fall apart towards the end. It wasn't really explained how Leo's character found the other guy in limbo, and I thought the ambiguous ending was kind of a cop-out. "Its all just a dream" was clever like... eh it was never really clever.

I did really enjoy the movie though and had a blast watching it.

I second this!

He is a tremendous director and sometimes doesn't get the credit he deserves. 'The Prestige' was such a great movie, yet slipped under the radar in many countries. It's one of those I could watch over and over.

[SecretInsomnia]

Yeah, great movie!

And Leonardo is really a great actor. The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, Blood Diamond, Inception. Really, he never dissapoints.

if you havent seen "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" then you havent seen leo at his best.

if you havent seen "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" then you havent seen leo at his best.

Oh sooooooo true!

[Wambangalang]

jesus i sound like a big ass leo fan now, thats not accurate. it only came up because we were discussing one of his films, so for the record im not in love with him
