Escape to the Movies: Inception

[Grahav]

Thanks for the spoiler warning Bob. I stopped the video right when I saw it.

But I'll have to just trust the word that is good.

ANOTHER Transformers jab. I'm swiftly losing respect for you Bob. I know you and most people think the movies were crap...but let it go...

 

[smartyknickers]

Hey, am I the only person reminded of Psychonauts (and Paprika) by the movie's premise?

 

[ezeroast]

Couldn't stop myself and watched right through. Looks like a kick ass movie, cheers Bob cant wait!!

 

[13lackfriday]

Do I get put on probation if I only watched up to the [HEADING=1]"Spoiler Warning"[/HEADING] before commenting?

 

[Falseprophet]

Thanks, "Little Nemo"! Checking it out Sunday. Wasn't sure about this one, but you rarely steer me wrong, Bob.

I have to ask: how is it possible to have a dream within a dream, within a dream, etc?
Has there ever been reported of someone actually dreaming in a dream?

There's one dreamer per dream. That's pretty straightforward and non-spoilery.

FUCKING AMAZING! Saw it on the premier, and it was worth all the sleep I lost and the crappy work-day that followed. However, maybe, I'm over analyzing this, but the recurring theme I saw in this movie was Descartes' vision of an Evil Genius---the same as Matrix's reality. What is reality? And what constitutes as real? I saw shades of Nietzsche in their, too: everything is a perspective amongst many others, including this very perspective.

 

[guntotingtomcat]

Totally agree. Nice Descartes refference. I like how it was ambiguous whether or not what was real actually mattered. Also, best ending evah!

I saw it this morning, and it's moved up to my top ten I think. Very cool, very interesting, complex for sure but not impossible to understand. Brilliant looking, brilliantly acted, and brilliantly written/directed. SERIOUSLY GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

 

[Smokescreen]

Thanks for the spoiler warning; I'd rather just see the film at this point.

Just saw it this afternoon. I really enjoyed it but wasn't blown away by it. I think I can chalk that down to, being a huge Matrix fan, how many people seem to be comparing it to the Matrix. It may well deserve some status as a highly respected film with a very cool concept and excellent execution but the Matrix was something more.. it was almost a tangible cultural shift in and of itself.

I also don't get why anyone would say it's that complicated or that it requires multiple viewings just to understand. It was a nice thinker of a movie but, as Bob said in his video, the audience who just wouldn't get Inception at all is really basically the audience who might have a tough time even getting to the theater in the first place.. with a map.. and GPS.. and someone leading them on a leash.

EEEEK, I stopped watching at 2:26. That was enough info for me, thanks Bob. This is definitely cinema material.

Better than Memento and The Dark Knight, you say? Whoa.

 

[EchetusXe]

This was another one that MovieBob had to get right, and did.

Excellent insight into the mind of Christopher Nolan as well.

I have to ask: how is it possible to have a dream within a dream, within a dream, etc?

Home Simpson did it. Dreaming of himself sleeping, dreaming of himself eating a sandwich, until the idea of enrolling into Clown College is incepted into his mind.

Wait a minute... SIMPSONS DID IT!

Dreamscape? What the hell is Dreamscape? I was going to say it ripped off Paprika.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika_(2006_film)
(It's also a book).

Than I was going to say that I was joking, since one is about a psychologist, and one is about what basically amounts to guns for hire, but in dreams.

 

[kasperbbs]

First time ive heard of it ,but it looks really good ,ill go see it as soon as it arrives in my country ,which will be.. not soon enough..

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I appreciated the Spoiler Warning. I'm going to edit this post when I've seen the movie.

[HEADING=1]Edit: The best movie I have seen in years![/HEADING]

Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, the writing, the flow of the... *nerdgasm*

I will buy the Soundtrack and the Special Edition DVD of this movie.

 

[Knight Templar]

I love Christopher Nolan, so I was always going to see this.
I got my entire family and best friend to watch Memento, if you're right I'll end up doing it again here.

 

[Shaun Hastings]

Just saw it today. Absolutely loved it. Though I'll have to watch it once again to get the full experience.

I laughed though, at the guy behind me at the very end of the movie when the credits rolled out. He shouted, "...What a rip off!".
