No, it was the sandy beach.

I did find the movie very good. I think they did a good job of taking a complicated plot and communicating it to the audience well. It definitely could have been shortened. There are some plot holes, unless I completely missed something. Overall a great movie.... I don't agree with any poster that says it's perfect.

I just came back from it for the 2nd time and I have to say that I think while the movie may not be perfect.....the ending is. Even having already seen, it I was just waiting with anticipation until it went black. Love hearing the shock from the audience too to know that youre not the only one that is completely into it.

I knew it was 2 and a half hours going in, but not once did I feel it was too long. It never dragged in my mind. I've watched plenty of crappy two and half hour movies(Bad Boys 2 at that length was ridiculous and this is from a guy who likes Michael Bay), but this is not one of them. The length was never an issue whatsoever. I would definitely see it again and again.

Well I'll chime in... I loved it. I seen both the Prestige and Memento at home and after both of those I watched them again immediately after, wish I could have done that with Inception. It was eye candy but a very smart movie as well. Christopher Nolan is one of the best out there now, no doubt about it.

I quickly looked through the thread but I thought Tom Hardy (Earnes) was a scene stealer. The guy is criminally underrated as an actor currently. A lot of people talk about Christian Bale's change from the Machinest to bulking up for Batman... but Hardy went from this skinny twirp in Star Trek..


To this in Bronson


He's set to play Max in the new Mad Max movie so it will be interesting to see what press he starts to get when that comes out.

DiCaprio was great again, even thought the usually annoying Ellen Page was good too. Not much else I can say that others haven't... but what a movie.

The ending... loved it. I smiled and groaned at the same time, seemed like everyone in the theater had the same reaction, loved it.

A very small thing that I loved was the cement blowing up from the ground when Cobb and Adriane were sitting at the cafe and they he revealed they were in a dream.

Awesome and brilliant movie, but not quite as up there as most of the reviews in this thread.

Saw it, it was good. Not Matrix blow my mind good imo though. Had the dream police been an original concept I would have liked it more probably.

I saw it a few days ago, and thought it was ok. Cool special effects and an interesting concept. Didn't really like any of the characters though. The only one that really gets developed is Leo, but I guess thats to make the movie more dreamlike. 7/10.
On a side note, I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey the day after. Now there's a movie that will blow you away. They have freakin ipads in it! How do you make an ipad in 1968? 2001>>>>>>>>Inception.

Going to watch it in a little bit. Just bought the tickets online. Can't wait. Hope I'm not hyping myself up for it too much after seeing all the praise it's been given.

Amazing. Love it. I just hope Ellen Page can hit a growth spurt and some puberty so she can start playing more adult roles, because she's got a ton of talent
