Inception.... Awesome movie. I loved the whole idea of it, and the special effects were amazing. 8)

I want to see it again, because I'm sure there were things I missed the first time around.

I think I had some pretty weird dreams after watching it, too.... :lol:

I haven't seen the movie, but I will, eventually. Based on what others have said about it, the premise seems to be similar to that in Andre Norton's short story, The Toys of Tamisin [sp?], which was followed by a full-length novel (with the same characters) but I can't remember the title of that book... :( The difference appears to be that in Norton's stories, the dreamers went into actual alternative (parallel) worlds, and as such, they could not manipulate that reality, only interact with it.

I definitely wasn't in the right frame of mind to watch it, so I really didn't enjoy it. I should go back and give it a try again, especially since I only watched half of it. :oops:

Watched it and really enjoyed it.
There is no reason to ever be bored.

I saw it in the theater a year ago. I liked the fact that no one in the audience was talking or even getting up to go to the restroom or to get snacks. People were riveted to the screen. That, to me, is what cinema should be about - engaging the audience in a more active role. Instead of passively watching a plot develop, your mind has to be actively engaged. One of the things that I like about the film, among the many that have already been mentioned, is that it's a "spoiler-proof" movie. Even if I told someone how it ended, it would be like telling them nothing unless I explained how it got there. And that would be baffling in itself. Inception is an experience.

I'm just about to watch it now. It's definitely a spoiler proof film, I like that too.

After having time to really digest Inception, I think I like it less than I did initially. The parts I like most are the parts with Dom's wife. But certain casting is just unfortunate, specifically Ellen Page. Almost anyone would have done a better job. She always seems to play herself, her voice is annoying, and it makes the character she's playing grate on me when it probably wouldn't be the case if I was just reading dialog off the page.

I think that Nolan's prime weakness is that he doesn't know how to cast women in his movies. Examples:
Carrie-Anne Moss in Memento, Hillary Swank in Insomnia, Scarlett Johansson in The Prestige, Katie Holmes in Batman Begins, Maggie Gyllenhaal in The Dark Knight, Ellen Page in Inception, and now Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Great Ramp In My Opinion.
