I am quite interested in this film one because it is directed by Christopher Nolan and two it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and yeah I have no idea what it is about.

EDIT:

I haven't been this excited for a movie I have no idea what it is about in a while. I loved Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (all directed by Nolan), so I have high expectations for this movie.

Sakonosolo

Saw a poster for this movie and have been psyched since. Can't wait to see it.

Yoska

Oh, it's this one. The movie has me intrigued. Yeah, I don't really get what it's actually about but the stuff in the trailer looks cool and I really like Nolan and DiCaprio.

anoobis

New trailer, edited first post. Looks pretty good.

felton

I am really looking forward to this movie. Christopher Nolan is no doubt a very good director.

tindalos

i'm getting a pretty good idea what it's about, and my psyched level is pretty high for this one. Dreamscape x The Matrix x Shutter Island? whoah

Look at me! I'm in a scene from the movie Inception! Weeeeee! http://gs.protectyourthoughts.com

It looks great, especially the scene where they're in a café and everything starts to blow apart.

I'm relieved. The reviews are looking good so far. I definitely want to see this one now.

Well, Ebert gives it his approval.

Watching this badboy on Monday back to back with Predators (what can I saw I like my smart and dumb movies packed in together :D)

Has Christopher Nolan made a bad movie?

Dude has had my attention since Memento.

shaqfukobe32

This is one of the best movies I have seen in years. It kicks The Matrix's ass and im a Matrix fan

Sakonosolo

Hopefully seeing it on Saturday.

Akumu

This movie was amazing.
With a movie like this, there are so many places where it could go wrong, but Inception avoided all of thos places.

Plus,

! the ending was perfect. It pissed me off so much, but it was still the best way to end it. I for one think that the top fell, and that he is in reality. After everything that happened, I want him to have a happy ending.

Malintex_Terek

Reviews are rolling in that this is god-tier and Nolan's current magnum opus. I'm really curious to see it now.

Steven D. Teach

I caught the midnight showing and really enjoyed it. It had a wonderful feel to it and was put together very well, it's really stuck with me.

That aside, the highlight of the night was during the trailer for Devil. Hearing the collective groan of the audience as Shyamalan's name came up was hilarious.

korobka

What an incredible experience. Just…wow. This was more than well worth the ten years it took to make. I'd dare say it even surpassed The Dark Knight.

! I like how Nolan made the ending what everyone was expecting, and yet it was still ambiguous.
! I'm gonna say it was the ending too, since the top looked like it was ready to fall.

This movie proves Christopher Noland > James Cameron

So so true. I just got back from watching it and this movie is truly an experience.

Nobodyman

Well, I guess I'll have to see this movie some time this week.

Ahem

! DID THE TOP FUCKING FALL AT THE END JESUS CHRIST GODDAMMIT NOLAN
The whole thing was surreal. I'll need to rewatch it to get all the plot details but it's definitely one of the better movies this year.

Sakonosolo

Goddammit, I most likely won't see it till Sunday seeing as I have to work on Saturday. I lol'd at the people on IMDB saying it ripped off Paprika, though. Must. See. Now.

Gizmo

This movie was amazing. Great characters. Great effects. And the concept was very original. I couldn't think of another story like this.

Trafalgar Law

!
! It more than likely fell.

Sesshy

Awesome movie, I'll probably go see it again.

Sakonosolo

Oh my God. This has undoubtedly moved to the top of my list of favorite movies. Every single second was enjoyable and the movie was pretty much flawless in every aspect. The theatre I watched it in was freezing cold and yet my palms were sweating, I am completely serious. And I think this is the closest I've ever come to crying during a movie.

By the time the ending came around I was on the edge of my seat, no exaggerations, and when the movie ended there was a collective gasp in the theatre, including me. The ending was just amazing and was so damn perfect it makes me want to cry. If you haven't seen it then go do it now. You won't regret it.

@changsho:

Both. And neither .

@x20a:

I think Memento had already proven that sir.

CosmicDebris

EXCELLENT movie. Not only is it an edge of your seat thriller, it is very thought provoking.

My only complaint is that I had a hard time hearing some of the dialogue. It might have just been the theater I was in. I think I only understood half the things Saito said and I couldn't hear

! what his wife yelled out in response to the train riddle and I never did get what the "secret" that she was hiding was

Sakonosolo

! I don't think that she had a secret. The thing with Mal's safe is that Cobb planted the idea in her mind (by spinning the top inside her safe) that she was really dreaming to get her to come back to the real world.

@Kairouseki:

! you're probably right, I got a little hazy in how the timing of events got shuffled around…typical of Christopher Nolan, you really have to keep paying attention to that stuff. My boyfriend and I were both a little confused there. I still want to know what she said though.

She provided the same answer that was given any other time that "riddle" was used.

Trust me, that wasn't just you. I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying. Especially when

! he was trapped in Limbo.

Oddly enough, I didn't have trouble understanding him then.

Gizmo

@CosmicDebris:

And I can't remember what it was.

! You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You can't be sure where it will take you. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together.
! It's from a yahoo answers user but I'm pretty sure it's accurate.

I want to see it again because

I got confused around the last half hour.

! Once Jr. died everything became confusing to me. I had no idea
! why Jr. was in Cobb's subconscious and wasn't in limbo, if that's where he was.
when Cobb and his wife grew old if right before they woke up they're young
why Cobb's wife was evil and ruining his missions

Despite the confusion near the end, I get the general storyline. I want to see if it's still enjoyable even though I know the plot or if it's the kind of movie that can only be watched once and be enjoyable.

! Not sure who "Jr." is referring to - Saito or Fischer. Refer to this for anything confusing: http://twitpic.com/26qk0i/full
! People believe that, while you're in limbo and are unaware that you are dreaming, you age normally. The Saito event at the beginning/end helps support this theory.
! She wasn't real. His subconscious created her as a result of the guilt he felt for performing inception on her when she was still alive, thereby causing her eventual suicide.

! Meant Fischer. So if the link is accurate, Limbo can be found when entering a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream? Because I remember Cobb and Adriadne entering that 4th stage via the dream machine device. I just thought it was deeper in Cobb's mind.
! The second part I'm confused about is what dream level did Cobb and his wife grow old together. If that was in limbo, then what layer did the train scene occur? Cobb and his wife were young when they killed themselves to wake up.
! I get that she wasn't real, but I don't understand why Cobb's guilt made her evil and why that would cause her to ruin his missions.

! That would be correct, yes. The only thing that's inaccurate about the picture is that the third dream was probably Fischer's.
! Both scenes happened in limbo. I'm guessing that once they realized they were dreaming, they reverted back to their original ages' bodies.
! That's how guilt works. It's a self-destructive process. It didn't help that he was also "trying to save her memory in his dreams", as was mentioned much earlier on in the movie.

Sakonosolo

@Super-Franky:

Trust me, that wasn't just you. I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying. Especially when

! In limbo talking to Saito? It was something like
! Saito: Are you here to kill me?
Cobb sits down and hands Saito his top
Saito: I know a man who once had this (both are talking now) from a half-remembered dream.
Saito: But I'm an old man now…
Cobb: And full of regret.
Saito: What do you want with me?
Cobb: I've come to remind you to (both talk) honor our agreement.
! Paraphrased but I think that's the general gist.

CosmicDebris

! I wondered if when Cobb was trying to convince Saito to come out of limbo at the end, if when Saito picked up the gun, he actually killed Cobb, sending him back into limbo, and Saito was able to wake up and continue on without keeping his agreement. Besides the director not showing the top fall over, it seems odd to be that the scene where he sees his children is completely unchanged from his memory…not an impossible coincidence, for the director's affect, I suppose.
But then, no gunshot is actually shown, and I'd rather just hope that they all did wake up.
! Edit: I just noticed that graph in the link says they shoot each other...is that really accurate? All you see is Saito pick up a gun...and I THOUGHT there was only one gun, can someone confirm?

! Doesn't make sense, really. Saito wanted to "return and be a young man, again". This would pretty much be impossible without Cobb's help.
! It's a theory, of course. Saito's limbo-constructed dream space was full of guns he could have used – he didn't need Cobb's to get the job done. I feel as though an additional scene to show them shooting one another (or what have you) would detract from the movie.

! Now that they're both aware of their dreaming states, the shooting would function as a kick. It doesn't have to be both of them shooting one another. It could be a slew of other things. It only makes more sense that the gun(s) come(s) into play.

Trafalgar Law

Excuse the double post.

The prologue to Inception in comic book form: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/inception-comic.html

Answers questions like

! "Why was Saito being targeted at the start?" and "Why the chase in Mombasa?"

! Getting shot in all other instances of the movie causes them to feel pain and fall into limbo if they die from it…getting shot in that one scene suddenly acts as a kick? Falling was what knocked them out every other time...this is not making sense to me.

Just got back from seeing it. My initial reaction is that it's a very good movie, but not quite as good as everyone is hyping it up to be. Now, of course it was pretty confusing and I think I'll have to rewatch it (perhaps a few times) to make a true judgment on it, but there were a few things about it that seemed off to me.As I said, the movie was a bit confusing and I may have missed or misheard a few lines, so if one of my complaints was explained please let me know.

! First off, the movie seemed a bit slow at first and they sorta through us for a loop by giving us a dream within a dream right off the bat. As for the laws of the dream world and everything that happened in them, I think I more or less understood it, but some of the rules just felt kind of arbitrary. The thing is, I think my favorite scene was when Arthur was running around in the shifting/zero gravity, but at the same time I couldn't help wonder how that works. Okay sure, so when you move around in your sleep your center of gravity might seem to change in a dream. But the thing is the cause of the shifting gravity (the falling van) wasn't even happening in real life. Plus, if they're aware that they're in a dream and turn a whole city on top of itself, why should the outside world affect them?
! Also, I completely lost it when Fischer died in the third level dream. How did he appear in Cobb's subconscious? Isn't he supposed to go into limbo? I also think they took the whole "dream within a dream" thing to literally. Well, all that being said, it's still a great movie and I definitely want to see it again on DVD.

! When you enter an new dream state, after the first level, the dream you just exited from acts as reality. So the van in free fall was the sources of gravity for the second dream.

! Also, I completely lost it when Fischer died in the third level dream. How did he appear in Cobb's subconscious? Isn't he supposed to go into limbo?

! He didn't appear in Cobb's subconcious, he appeared in Cobb's limbo.
I have to see it again to explain why. I could've told you days ago, but I'm fuzzy on the details now.

@CosmicDebris:

! Nah, at the beginning Cobb shot Arthur in a fatal way to get him out of the first dream in a dream, remember? The only reason they'd enter limbo when they were trying for inception was because of the heavy sedative.
Once the sedative wore off, everyone got the kick back into reality, except for Cobb and Saito, as they were still in Limbo. Once Saito realized they were still dreaming, that that was not reality, he was able to exit, via murder suicide.

Sakonosolo

@Trafalgar:

! There seem to be different rules in limbo. The train running over Cobb and Mal popped them back into "reality".

! Dying always sends you back to the real world. It's just that in that particular instance they were so heavily sedated that if they died, suddenly being jerked out of the dream, it would send them into limbo. At the point that Cobb and Saito did whatever they did to return, whether shooting themselves or what, everyone else had already woken up so apparently the sedative had for the most part worn off.
! As for Cobb and Mal, they weren't sedated any more than usual, it's just that since it was only themselves in the dream they were able to go extremely deep without needing a heavy sedative.

! Each dream level affects the one within it, but only one level up. So the van affected the hotel but not the snow fortress. Don't ask how, it just does. It's not like it could really be tested so as far as you know it's true .
! That confused me as well and I don't have any explanation for it.
