Loved the movie. Honestly though, I wish it were a longer movie. There were many many times in the movie when I thought it felt very rushed, and I would've loved some more background into the characters and their "profession", as well as how the technology works. The first hour felt like it was moving too fast for its own good. I would love to see a super-super-long director's cut on DVD some day.

+1 I would love a super long version on Blu Ray. Would be amazing.

I didn't even know what it was until my supervisor told be about it today. He was saying how it was the best movie he has ever seen and the plot sounded very cool.

[sentrastace]

saw it last night in IMAX....was amazing. a little confuzzled in the beginning but when stuff starting coming together and getting exciting it was nuts. and yeah at the end the whole theatre was like "ughhhhhhh...!!!" hahaha...was a bit long but still good. was it really 10 years in the making? amazeballs. quite a concept to think of I'm sure, but SO interesting to think about. I slept extra long last night, PROBABLY because of the movie. lol.

[sbird1]

I found the movie frustratingly complex and full of holes. I left feeling really pissed off and cheated.

RCA, that's epic

Finally saw this. It was very good. I agree it could have been longer, but a lot of the stuff that was left unexplored is better off that way. It's not Star Trek; the minutiae aren't important. Focusing on the why over the how allowed the plot to roll without getting muddled.

It's not District 9 good, but it's very good nonetheless.

[Eikon]

It was a great movie!

Imagine if they would have made it in 3D. That would have been incredible!!!!

I didn't think the plot was quite as complex and mind-bending as some have said. Sure there are a couple nice twists and a little hanger at the end to make you think, but I don't think it was anywhere near as complex as the thinking behind the Matrix even though I've heard people compare it to that.

this. srsly, i had initially wondered how they would explain the 'movie science' behind how they shared dreams and consciousness, but they never did. but i did not feel left in the dark, the story just swept you away and didnt have time to explain the unexplainable things of the movie, which i kind of liked about it.

because lets be honest, no matter what they came up with to expain the sharing of dreams, any logical person could have torn it apart by realistic standards, so why even go into it and cheese the movie up that much more with stupid 'movie science' explanations.

I think the favorite part of the movie for me on an effects standpoint was the fighting in the 3rd level (the hotel) - however they did all that, that was amazing looking and a ton of fun to watch.

I'm glad they didn't get into the science - while this is a 'sci-fi' thriller, it's not a science movie - it's more focused on the plot than the semantics, which was a great decision. I don't care how it works, as long as it does, which in this case it did.

Only thing that has me confused is the whole limbo thing...why didn't they just shoot each other right away to get out of limbo? That's the only thing that I can't 100% understand, but otherwise this movie was well written and kept you thinking the whole time.

Awesome!

[ProudNissanFreak]

He said at some point int he movie that killing yourself in limbo won't guarantee getting out.

I've been trying to figure this out too, this is what I have put together. [SPOILER]

There's two ways to get into limbo right? Going deep into the levels by dreams or by dieing in one of the dreams while being sedated. Since Cobb and Adrianne went into limbo via dream(to save Fischer) in the snow fort level they KNEW they were in limbo, but if you die in one of the levels and get sent into limbo you get "washed up on the shore of your own subconscious" not knowing how you arrived there and in a state of confusion. A state of confusion that is comparable to a dream, when you're dreaming you don't know how you got there, but your subconscious fills the space making you believe it's reality, so when you get into limbo via death you assume it's reality.

This is why when Cobb is killed by Mal in limbo he is washed up on the shore of limbo in that state of confusion and he looks confused/lost when he is sat in front of old Kaito. Once Cobb realizes this could be a dream he pulls out his totem(the top), this is when Kaito begins to remember about the plan(since he didn't have a totem he thought limbo was reality) and they start to share dialogue and then says "let's go be young together". At this point I believe that Kaito shoots Cobb and then himself.

Or maybe I have it all wrong. Awesome movie.

There's a dark (maroon maybe?) Belt buckle Q45 as an "extra" in almost every car chase shot. It gets rear-ended at one point.

Awesome link. That article really took my thoughts about the film in a different direction. And some of the comments were just as excellent. Especially the ones about Ariande. I had said before how I thought Ellen Page wasn't a good choice for this character because of how she came across to me. But after reading some of those comments, I'm starting to believe Page played her perfectly.

Nolan rocks. I want him to bring Neuromancer to film.

Wow. I'm going to see Inception again tonight....I'm totally looking for this now.

[RobPaulson]

RCA, awesome link, wewt def considering seeing this again now....

[Eikon]

Yep, i've got to go see it again now.. damn that link. I sure never caught that. I'm still not 100% sure I agree with the conclusion made in that link, but it seems pretty spot on. I'll see it again and then decide.

[cellardoorv]

Here's what I don't get.

During the hotel scene, everything was skewed and shifted because the van in the first inception was falling off the bridge. Then, if that's the case, why wasn't the next inception, the snow fortress, also skewed with everyone floating everywhere? The Dreamer, which was the Forger (who was pretty sexy) was also in the falling van. So therefore, his inner ear equilibrium would have been messed with too, right?

[Eikon]

I guess the theory is that things that our body feels do/can creep into our dreams a bit (rain, rumble, shifts in weight or gravity), but they become muffled on the next level down. Didn't they hear some music from two levels up, and perhaps some vibrations from two levels up when they were in the snow level?

[cellardoorv]

One character, either Leo or the sexy Forger, distinctively said "I thought it was the wind, but that is music". Or something similar, not exact words. But he said music.

The van falling was supposed to be "the kick", which would bring them out of all the levels, including the snow one. So the sexy forger man should have experienced the same feeling as the hotel.

[RobPaulson]

shouldnt u be in the kitchen?

[cellardoorv]

Hahah. Whatever.

Ryan just tried to explain it to me. Makes a little more sense. Ish.

[RobPaulson]

LOL no but srsly... kitchen. meow.

The van falling was supposed to be "the kick", which would bring them out of all the levels, including the snow one.

from what i understood, a kick does not persist through levels, and if you get 'kicked' at a higher level, but are more than one deep, you could potentially enter limbo... that is why the ending seemed so confusing.

The elevator kicked them out of the snow level
the van kicked them out of the hotel
and their deaths in the van kicked them out of the van dream back into the plane. all of which happened in a few seconds.

amirite?
