lemmycaution Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Has anyone seen Inception yet? I just saw it last night with my girlfriend. It was one of the most refreshing movies I've seen in a while. Now I just have to get her to watch Memento... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazolaman Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yep,I thought it was a good film. It wasn't as clever as the reviews made out,nor as clever as moment.Good though,and quite enigmatic. Hollywood is to be applauded for allowing a blockbuster that requires a bit of thinking. So,did the spinning wheel drop?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectform Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I saw it two nights in a row and loved it each time. Christopher Nolan is becoming the best film director of his generation. He dominated the 00's and is already on top in the 10's. Kudos to the entire team for creating an entirely original film. Hopefully this can inspire more of the same. Can't wait for Chris's next projects to arrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's why the general public liked it so much, the movie was intelligent but also fairly easy to grasp. It's just refreshing to see something like this come out with all the recent sequels, remakes, etc. Inception is a great spin on the "heist" genre. I think Memento was definitely better, but it's also not for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanceSchmerr Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I've been waiting to see this forever and now that I'm back from vacation, it's first on my list for flicks to see at the theater.......Glad to see a smart movie winning accolades with all the junk pushed out by hollywood today. Aside from the A-Team movie. Not the smartest film, but you can't go wrong with that film. I love it when a Plan comes together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmokeALot Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 heard this was great. Looking forward to seeing this one. Ditto. Looks like one that is worthy of movie theater visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I really enjoyed inception. I suspect it's the kind of film you need to see twice to fully appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micha Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I was actually a bit disapointed and torn apart by this movie. I think it tried hard to deliver a complex driven story with different layers, but in review I think it was fairly straight forward action movie with not too much depth mixed up with some Matrix elements. I don't want to sound too harsh and I really liked the visual style, but even there I think for a film with that kind of budget there were too few visually stunning and imaginative moments. Although certainly not a bad flick, at the end it just left me kind of unsatisfied... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatFastard Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thought it was a great flick. Very cool storyline. Think I'll have to watch it again as I'm sure I missed some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter11216 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I liked the movie, but I didn't think it was that great. Momento, on the other hand, I thought was a great film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Finally saw the film a few days ago, and I agree with the assessments here. An intriguing idea that was only partially capitalised on, but a decent movie all around. Not as labyrinthine as it was made out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloth Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 It was OK. The CGI made me feel like the only reason they used it was to make the commercials look cool, but was completely unnecessary and in some cases got in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael69 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 enjoyed it, but very "matrixy"..... it's interesting the number of online analysis and dissection as to what it all means; I thought it was pretty plain what it's on about. there's a whole debate as to whether the final scenes are "real" or not (again, no mystery on that one!)

First Lady Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 It was okay but makes me glad I didn't see it in the movies and paid money for it Will probably be the first and last time I will see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnbc Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I liked the movie, but I didn't think it was that great. Momento, on the other hand, I thought was a great film. I think you mean Memento, with Guy Pearce? Now that film was awesome! It really gets your brain working with all the back-and-forth in present and past times. Story was great but the ending left me a bit wanting some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazolaman Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 No,I think he meant Momento........ You need to watch it again,to get the gist of the ending(I had to watch it twice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter11216 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I agree. The dream machine had the wackiness of a Charlie Kaufman plot device, but unlike one of his movies, "Inception" didn't use it to say anything more than "Here are some really cool action sequences." I was actually a bit disapointed and torn apart by this movie. I think it tried hard to deliver a complex driven story with different layers, but in review I think it was fairly straight forward action movie with not too much depth mixed up with some Matrix elements. I don't want to sound too harsh and I really liked the visual style, but even there I think for a film with that kind of budget there were too few visually stunning and imaginative moments.

mazolaman Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Shawnbc,apologies,you're right. I was under the impression it was Momento also,but now realise it is memento.....good film though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckile2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 This film was pretty good, I put off watching it because I was worried it wasn't going to be that great. Talking about it I could watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isa Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Enjoyed it. Not great, but quite good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
