wyankeif1337: Inception Was Incredible

SHAKEandBAKE 07.21.10	Agreed. I wish they would have not left us hanging at the end though.
bloc 07.21.10	They wanted to let the audience decide the ending, I liked that.
Dryden 07.21.10	or they couldnt think of an ending
VicariousIntent 07.21.10	It's definitely just up to the audience's interpretation...I agree with bloc, I thought that was really cool. This was seriously one of the best movies I've seen in a REALLY long time. It was unbefuckinglievable.
Relinquished 07.21.10	props for 2 and 3
Gyromania 07.21.10	I think that girl did inception on leo
iarescientists 07.21.10	i love christopher nolan so i was expecting a lot and i was pretty satisfied. i was kind of turned off by how cold and calculated everything felt, but it was all pretty and interesting enough i could look past that
Quen 07.21.10	This movie was bomb as fuck.
Dunpeal 07.21.10	0G fight scene was legit
Quen 07.21.10	Lol why? I'd see it in theaters if I were you.
Quen 07.21.10	Lol, true enough.
DENEpants 07.21.10	i've been out of the country for almost 3 weeks.. what is this?
BassDemon333 07.21.10	movie was fucking awesome
reeshespeeshes 07.21.10	Saw 1 last month and they brought it!
GenNarain 07.21.10	fucking awesome movie
kingjulian 07.21.10	Practically a perfect movie.
Gyromania 07.21.10	Does anyone want to talk about the actual movie?
Observer 07.21.10	i didn't like the movie
Gyromania 07.21.10	Wow, seriously, why?
radianteclipse 07.21.10	This movie completes the complete transformation of Leonardo DiCaprio going from being one of my least favorite actors to being one of my favorites. I never thought the day would come. Oh, and Marion Cotillard is probably the most gorgeous woman on the face of the planet. And I like that Ellen Page finally decided to break away from her typical role and do something different. This movie is just a total mindfuck in every sense. There has never been, nor will there probably ever be, a movie quite like it. I'm not saying it's the greatest movie of all time or anything of that sort, but the amount of thought and depth put into this movie is incredible. It takes a creative mind to put something like this together. Oh, and the score was also almost perfect. Some of Han Zimmers best work.
klap 07.21.10	i liked it but i didn't think it was mindblowingly awesome. legitimately awesome as an action movie though
luci 07.21.10	the movie was pure art, wow
Observer 07.21.10	To me, it took a bad, generic premise for a film, through in a bunch of frantic action and high adrenaline moments to make up for its lackluster storytelling and its confusing way of explaining itself, and then it took like two and a half hours, cramming questionable information into me every second, as if the movie would have felt more comfortable and complete had it been instead four hours in length, which would have been bad in its own way as well. Just my opinion though.
Gyromania 07.21.10	I wouldn't call it an action movie, Rudy. Generic? I can certainly see you not liking it just because it's not for you, but I wouldn't dare say it's generic. I thought the movie was rather intricate, and has multiple ways to be perceived. the lackluster storytelling adds to its overall effect; consider that none of the characters have much development, perhaps because the whole movie is a dream? or Perhaps the young architect was actually performing inception on Leo.
Observer 07.21.10	Right, the fact that it spent two and a half hours on a set path for itself and still came away as being so open to interpretation, or just filled with sloppy plot holes as I see it, is the reason I didn't like it, and probably the reason a lot of people did like it, too, on the other hand. Well, I mean, you say it's not generic, and then you say that it has many ways to be percieved. Well, I percieved the premise as generic - though not the way the movie ran with that foundation, I'll clarify. It just felt altogether crammed together and messy to me, or "clunky and confusing on four different levels of reality," as one reviewer put it. The "what ifs" seemed lazily placed, and I just think they could have done a lot of things differently to make it better.
Gyromania 07.21.10	I still don't see how it's generic, especially when compared to any movie of 2010, it's for the first time in a while, a shift from the typical movies that have been released, I'd say. As far as its set path, which movie doesn't follow one? It's simple enough to follow, but there is a lot that's open for interpretation; I think this makes it unique in that it appeals to almost every demographic. Perhaps what I'm hearing from some (that it should have been a series) is the approach that Nolan should have taken, but I found it clear and concise. Care to delve into any of the 'sloppy' plot holes?
MaskAtTheMasquerade 07.21.10	i don't think it was generic at all either. one thing i didnt understand was why at the beginning (or should i say the end) was Saito really old when Leo was still the same age?
Gyromania 07.21.10	I had read your post incorrectly, Jared. I agree that its original premise is generic, that's why I prefer to think that the entire movie was a trick inception on Leo.
Gyromania 07.21.10	Mask: consider the way in which time is perceived that far under; Leo was still one level above him for god knows how long before going further (I think). Or, at least, those are just my thoughts.
Observer 07.21.10	The generic thing I'm talking about is the "let's be dream robbers" thing that they didn't really explain that well scientifically, or rushed their explanation too fast to make sense (in my opinion). It really just seemed like a comic book fantasy. Okay, the main character, Leo, I think, (I don't remember the rest of the main characters' names, and neither did the three people I saw it with either, actually) says that you can't do inception by placing the idea in a person's head yourself, it has to be the person who's dreaming in order for it to work. If true, how is it that he was able to place that idea in his wife's head, in that case the spinning top, where according to him, she should have done it herself for it to work, right? And then there's that part where he and his wife have grown old together in their own little dream world, yet to get back to real life (after he planted the idea into his wife's head that she wanted to live there forever) they killed themselves in the dream on the train tracks. Why were they then young when they got ran over by the train? Shouldn't have they been old there? Okay, and then the wife kills herself on the opposite building facing the husband. Like wouldn't have the police been able to logically tell where she fell from, ie not where Leo was? As a side note, the thing they pulled in the first layer of the dream where you could die, but not in the other layers (I think) was pretty stupid in my opinion and just was a cheap way to add some stress to the plot with the asain guy getting shot and dying. Also, the movie begining and ending with the old guy was dumb imo, too, as while he was important to Leo's getting home to his kids, he obviously wasn't the focus of the movie. That part just seemed tacked on as a lazy way to tie everything together. I think I had some other specific problems besides my overall complaints, but I can't really remember them. Anyway, I respect anybody's opinion that liked this btw, and I didn't hate it at all.
Dunpeal 07.21.10	everybody's a hipster these days
tkxxx7 07.28.10	It wasn't that you could die in one layer but not others - they couldn't die to get out because the sedative was so strong that they wouldn't be able to wake up, leaving their minds somewhere in between the dream and reality (limbo). Everyone thinks of limbo as a layer that's really far down, when it really isn't, which led to many people misunderstanding the movie. Their way of getting out of the first layer was the diving of the plane they were on in real life. If the entire plot was a trick-inception on Leo, then why wasn't Ellen Page's character aware?
Apollo 07.28.10	saw it last night, it was prety epic
