Inception (with implanted spoilers)

think it could have been better

this movie got real tedious reeeal fast.

hahaha i just caught up on this thread, it gave me lots of LOLs. I love you weirdos. Anyway, to the poster who said the dissenters must have gone into the theatre already hating it, I went in wanting to LOVE IT. AND I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. Also, I think JGL is kinda cute but he is a bean pole. Maybe Juno ruined this for me, too.

Also the score got a little too intense and full of itself there at the end.

Lame things to complain about, but what can I say. It just didn't move me. It was better than Shutter Island, though, that was total shit.

i remember the score seeming ott the entire film!

I love it because it is so melodramatically cheesy!

JGL was so fun to watch in this movie.

starting to think paige and JGL were cast just to make leo look more adult.

"i just hate how Leo is so deadly serious in nearly all his films, nearly all the time (of the films i've seen at least)."

id say he was pretty perfect in catch me if you can and not so serious back then. the ultra seriousness/earnestness seems to have come in his more recent roles. plus nolan seems to like that in his actors so its not entirely his fault. and even then, hes not quite on the level of bale in TDK.

I enjoyed the hell out of this. Way better than TDK.

The people on skies and snow mobiles was staggeringly boring. And the floating around the hotel room. And the uneventful car chase.

Anyway, with the Arab's cellar full of dreamers seemed like a direct reference to Robert Irwin's rather good book The Arabian Nightmare, about the manipulation of dreams within dreams. That is all.

And the floating around the hotel room.

wrong on sooooooo many levels

Well what was it then? Looked like floating around a hotel room to me.

I mean you're wrong that it was boring. Before you say "it's my opinion", I have proof that it isn't.

Including charts, graphs, and a powerpoint.

San Te planted it in yr head

in yr thread

zombeh zombeh zombie-eh-eh

To elaborate, slightly reluctantly, the imagination going into the structure (which was not exactly groundbreaking, not that it matters) did not seemed to be matched by an imagination of aesthetic (explosions, sky scrapers, three piece suits, and that bloody James Bond ski chase).

can I just say that I think avoiding a Cell-like totally surreal dreamscape is one of the good things about this movie.

haha HI DERE

@Gukbe -- agreed, I've seen way too many of those movies and they get old fast. the structure is what held it together. Plus ad nauseaum repeat IT WAS DREAMS MADE BY ARCHITECTS!1!1!!!

Okay I do like this 'cast pic':

all that use of the word "Architect" reminded me too much of the Matrix sequels. why couldn't they just say "designey people"?

I think you answered your own question.

"We need an interior decorator...OF THE MIND."

good thing they picked Juno over this lady or else dude's brain would have been painted orange and had twigs stapled to it

'we need a design geek.'

instead of a heist movie they should have made it about trying to make cilian murphy's brains look fabulous

the reviewer here obv really wanted to like the film but its maybe the most accurate, reasonable review ive read of it so far.

idk about eye "candy", maybe eye "pudding" is a more accurate term

"eye pudding"

--latebloomer

i hate the 'not as clever as it thinks it is' criticism. it's just the reviewer's way of one-upping ppl who liked the film/found it stimulating/______.

haha way to project

like in the movie

What do you guys think about Inception?

whoa

does anyone say "Pinch Me" in this movie

Someone says "Last night I had a dream about you" and then robots start dancing.

My favorite part was when JGL kissed Ellen Page and did an impromptu dance to Hall & Oates through each recessive dream level.

The guys in the roadster who were chasing them while brandishing wrenches were a weird touch, especially when they kept flipping back and forth between real and hand-drawn.

I liked when Xzibit showed up and told Cillian Murphy he put dreams in his dreams so he could dream while he was dreaming.

yea but when Wilford Brimley showed up driving an ice cream truck in the shower it was a little much

And we will always be together
Forever

"yo dawg you know how you said you like to be an action star in your dreams? Well check out this SKI FORTRESS!!!!!"

this thread is too much of a cluster fuck for me to check; but have we actually discussed the ending?

you mean when we find out he's a replicant?
