OMFSM. This movie was amazing. I haven’t watched a movie as unique as this since the first Matrix movie. I don’t go to many movies more than once in the theater, but I think I might have to make an exception for this one.
I was worried that Leonardo would really suck this movie down, like he did with ‘Shutter Island’. But this movie had a very strong ensemble cast which helped to overcome his weaknesses. Plus the highly unique subject matter combined with the reality warping kept you mentally engaged through the entire movie.
It was smart, emotional, tense and entertaining.
Oh and another thing,… this movie qualifies as a ‘Heist’ film too.
So hopefully somewhere down the road the Crue will add it to their ‘Heist Arc’.
Literally, just got back from watching this movie with my wife. IT WAS AWESOME!!!
Talk about recursive narrative! It inspires me to try something crazy in the next game session I run. Anyway, I loved the dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream-et-al theme … but I’m really wondering if they could have done this movie in a world in which the Matrix didn’t come out years earlier and blow the general movie going audiences mind with the whole “what is a dream? / Is this the real world or not?” paradigm. Honestly, if The Matrix explored that territory, then it was just the shoreline. Inception builds a railroad through it and gives out vacation packages.
I’m willing to sign the petitioin to get Christopher Nolan sainted, just on the grounds that he was able to make a kick ass movie that didn’t dumb itself down or look for the easy “scifi = monster movie” way out. “Smart science fiction, out of Hollywood? You shut your mouth!”
=-=-=
In case it got lost in all of that, up there, I liked the movie and would recommend it to others. 
I’d been looking forward to this one as much as Iron man 2 - and it did not dissapoint. Was amazing from start to finish with a great cast, tight script and awesome effects.
Excellent film, IMHO…
very good movie, not one I can see myself watching over and over again, but still an awesome movie
This is totally one I can see myself watching over and over. It’s very much like The Prestige, where I love to go back and just admire the details even if I know how it all plays out.
Also, it’s kind of perfect that I went to see it today, just after waking up from a really, really twisted dream 
ya that was my fault…your mind is very twisted and you should be ashamed of yourself btw :eek:
Was it that one with the thing…and it did stuff…that’s messed up
you know…the more I think about it
that ending REALLY is annoying me, [spoiler] is is so bleeping hard for stories to have solid bleeping endings these days? [/spoiler]
Re: the ending:
[spoiler]Apparently if you stay quiet and listen over the sound of audience noise, you can hear the THUD as it falls. Also he’s not wearing his wedding band, which he is ONLY in the dreams. I read a very interesting theory that the inception of the “you’re going to think it ends as a dream” idea is planted by Christopher Nolan at the beginning and head explode[/spoiler]
I need to see it like eight more times.
ah, I was not able to pick up on that as I had a loud group of teenagers sitting right behind me that at various points would not shut up and occasionally bang into the back of my chair and as soon as that would have happened they of course had to start talking!
About the ending… Doesn’t bug me. I think it’s pretty apparent that it’s starting to go. I actually think it may represent his emotional state, showing that it’s taking a while for his new reality to actually feel real to him.
[Spoiler]I’m not sure about the top “thud” after the screen goes black. I just saw the film again the other night and waited and listened for that. Since it was Tuesday, the theater was less crowded and much quieter and I still didn’t hear the top falling. We even stayed and listened throughout the credits to find any other clues, but didn’t hear any.
I like the ambiguity because it allows room for serious discussion and interpretations as to what the reality of the movie is. There are several interesting articles I’ve read, threads on forums that I’ve perused, and discussions I’ve had with friends and coworkers and that is all because Nolan left enough room for people to form their own opinion.
My interpretation is that the film is as it is presented to us. Cobb wakes up and goes home to his kids. I think the idea that it might have all been a dream is just Nolan’s own inception on the audience, causing us to question the film’s reality. One of my friends is pretty sure that the whole thing is a dream and Ariadne is actually the first dreamer and the whole team has gone into Cobb’s mind to pull him out of limbo.
A completely unambiguous ending would have still left us with a great movie, but without these fun mind-bending discussions.[/spoiler]
I saw the film last night and loved it. It was one of the coolest theater going experiences that i have ever had. First of all I was at a 9.45 film on a Thursday night and the theater was pretty packed which is a pretty awesome thing. It bodes well for the financial success of the movie. I would not be surprised to see the movie actually make more money this weekend than last. But back to the experience. You could feel the audience getting sucked in to the movie. [spoiler] At the end in the snow fort the audience was talking to the screen when Mal came in and was going to shoot Saito. The audience was pleading for Dom to shoot her. [/spoiler] You could hear the seats creak as people leaned into the screen in the final scene started to happen. And like The Last Airbender there were huge groups of people hanging out in the lobby but this time they were trying to figure out just how their mind got fraked by Nolan instead of planning a lynch mob for M. Night.
But my favorite scense was Joseph Gordon-Levitts fight scenes; Both the Zero-gee and the Random Gravity fight. I actually found them to be much better than the Matrix fights. It also was a bit reminiscent of the Hallway fight in Oldboy which might still be my favorite fight scene in a movie but this one is close.
The use of time is really awesome. [spoiler]Especially once you get deeper into the Dream within a dream withing a dream withing a dream (maybe within another dream) [/spoiler]
As for the ending.
I have two thoughts
[spoiler]
He is in fact in reality. I thot i saw the top start to wiggle just a little bit right before the screen went to black.
-or-
The entire movie might have been an inception heist against Dom run by Saito and it is maybe like 6 or 7 levels of dreams. Maybe it was a combination of the two to push Dom out of the Limbo World. Maybe the entire time they are making Dom plant the inception they are actually planting it in him. [/spoiler]
Yea this movie hurt my brain
Saw it a couple hours ago, and spent about an hour talking it over with The GF. I’m pretty sure that the ending isn’t really ambiguous.
[spoiler]We never see ‘reality’ in the movie. Cobb’s wife was right, he’s the one stuck in the dream. Why?
What was Cobb’s token? We never see it, even within the flashbacks in the ‘top’ level of ‘reality.’ It’s always his wife’s. He’s apparently locked his away, and is using hers, which makes it an unreliable indicator of reality. Remember how careful they were about not even touching each others’ tokens?
His wife spells it out for him. We’re inclined to believe ‘reality’ is what he indicates it is, but he convinced her (correctly) that she was wrong. She just failed to do the same for him.
Dream logic appears throughout. Why is his wife on the opposing ledge from the one where their room was? Why do dead people suddenly go deeper into the layers of dreams? Why would they appear in Cobb’s construct instead of their own?
Finally, why did we not see Cobb regressing through the series of dream layers? He’s the main character after all.
[/spoiler]
Closest theory I could find to mine is (spoilers ahoy! Even in the URL!) this one over at CHUD. It’s a bit different than mine, but pretty close.
