My mom liked it. Does that mean I should get her to try Starcraft 2 next time I go home?

If you guys liked Inception, check out the movie Waking Life...there's a movie that's tough to get your head around. Has concepts in there like Lucid Dreaming, but it also has a lot of other concepts that take a little bit to wrap your head around. Definitely not for everyone but is worthwhile checking out nonetheless.

It's made for a "gamer" culture says this Los Angeles Times movie critic.

I agree completely...I actually told my wife afterward that it felt like I was dragged through a PS3 game or something like that.

An interesting idea and definitely an action packed movie... but very little depth. I thought it was "okay" but other than Cobb, the characters were left almost completely undeveloped and unbelievable.

7/10 on its best day. Not worth the hype.

Not to defend Nolan on what may or may not have been intentional.

But if the whole thing was a dream, then the characters shouldn't have been developed. They would be fairly one dimensional merely tools to move the dream forward.

Could it be intentional, such as casting Katie Holmes in Thank You For Smoking to play a bad actress? (I'm assuming that was intentional, it'd be too perfect otherwise)

I saw it last night at thought it was great! I'll probably go watch it again but this time at Cross Iron Mills as I find their screens and projectors to be way better than the theatre I was at (Empire 16 in the NW).

I saw Inception it at Cross Iron Mills, in the Ultimate AVX theatre they have there. That theatre is ballin'.

Nice leather reclining chairs, lots of leg room, huge screen and awesome picture quality. Plus, its new so the floors aren't all sticky.

The best part is that they have assigned seating. No need to leave jackets to save seats, or stress about getting there late and having to sit front row.

How does it assign them? any ideas? Does it start in the middle and slowly assign them getting to the front last?

When you buy the ticket, you get to pick it.

If you buy it online, you get a seating map and gets to choose your seats right away.

Yep, its like a concert or sporting event. Seating chart pops up and you pick what seats you want out of the ones available. It's great, all theatres should do this.

I think a ticket is like $18 or the same price as a 3D movie ticket. I'm not 100% sure but I think I remember seeing $18 or something around there for the AVX rooms.

if you have scene points, the AVX theater costs the same amount of points as a regular theater (1000)

Why is everyone so pissed about character development. You people are all so anal about movies. Inception is 100 times the movie Avatar was yet everyone loved it, when it actually sucked the big one and people are giving Inception mediocre scores. You all disgust me.

For the people who give Inception a 5-7/10 what do you think is a good movie? Honestly, I don't get it.

It was $15.95 for the AVX room at CrossIron Mills.
