Movie was really, really good. I was blown away, and I'll definitely be seeing it a few more times.

I bet Ellen Page is a mac fangirl.

Wait a second...

Ellen Page was great in Juno, but man does she ever come across as pretentious in her interviews, can't stand her.

Anywho, can't wait to see Inception, Nolan is a genius.

I don't think I've ever seen an interview of her.

Whip It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Hard Candy was pretty good too (although pretty messed up).

yep, very underrated movie

one of the only movies where I went in having read (and liked) the book and thought the changes in the movie were for the better

Well just got back from seeing it, that movie was effing sick. What a brilliant man Christopher Nolan is.

Seriously, what a movie. Oh and the ending was about the best a movie can do. Nolan is the man! As is DiCaprio!

[HeartsOfFire]

Saw it on Friday with the girlfriend.

Mind was blown.

If you didn't get it, you're not smart enough.

If you fell asleep during it, I laugh at the irony.

Saw it on Saturday and was incredibly impressed. One of the best movies I've ever seen. I loved the gasp at the very end from the audience as the credits roll.

Brilliant piece of writing and directing from Nolan.

Wasn't this movie called Dreamscape in the 1980s?

Yeah that was awesome. The whole theatre reacted the same way at the end.

Outside of the fact that people can enter other people's dreams, the movies are nothing alike. There is so much more going on in Inception. The two movies are not even comparable IMO.

Me likey.

Smart film.

Uhh, what?

Saw Inception a couple days ago. Easily the most interesting film in a very long time. The annoying part is that we now get to suffer through years of stoners proclaiming grand truths hidden in the movie - similar to The Matrix.

People who say they don't get it are probably searching for the "mind blowing" parts and quite understandably are not finding them. This is because there really is nothing "mind blowing" about it. It's just multiple stories being told concurrently in a very cool way - using elementary philosophy as a framework.

I suppose the "mind blowing" aspect is just how much of an amazing film maker Christopher Nolan is.

Slight spoiler in white:

The end was obvious right from the beginning... Theater erupted in laughter because Nolan didn't actually reveal anything - it's left up to you. If that blows your mind, ok then...

[Weiser Wonder]

8.5 out of 10 for me. Although I'm getting the feeling I should lower that. It's a grand, spell-binding time, but I don't think it's mind-blowing. Extremely complex and interesting plot, however traveling through dreams could have been done with much more depth. It placed its reality within human minds that don't dream like a human mind. Which is fine but it has its limitations. It's fabulous for a blockbuster. Solid for a film.

My complaint about seeing it in the theater is, the movie is quite long. I'd have been more comfortable watching at home rather than a packed theater with no leg room.

The slow-mo sections of the movie and the parts with zero gravity were so cool. Like I mentioned, the fight when they are spinning around (when the van was flipping in the first dream) was one of the coolest fight scenes.

Well, I just felt the movie was bit long, and perhaps that many dreams were not necessary.


Also, for those of you wondering exactly where it was, this is off Wikipedia:

The final phase of principal photography took place in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in late November 2009. The location manager discovered a closed ski resort known as the Fortress Mountain Resort.[11] An elaborate set was assembled on top of a mountain and it took three months to build.[38] The production had to wait for a huge snowstorm, which eventually arrived.[10] For environmental reasons, what appeared to be a concrete fortress was actually constructed out of spruce.

Anyone see the similarities between Radiohead's song In Limbo and Inception? Maybe it's just me as I'm a huge fan but it seems like a song written for the movie. The song was released 10 years ago. Perhaps a source of inspiration for Nolan.

Well they did explain the whole levels of dreaming thing and why there had to be that many. I suppose they probably could have shortened each dream sequence a little, but I dont really see how, in context with the movie, they could have cut one out entirely.

So the 3rd dream within the dream (the snowy one) was the one filmed in Kanaskis?
