I thought it was really good. It is refreshing to see an entertaining, original movie come out that is not a book adaptation or a sequel.

Still not better than Avatar though.

I don't understand all of the praise. I went in to it expecting it to be a mindfuck, as I had been told. The result? Anticipated everything, resulting in a rather predictable storyline. In fact, I can't recall anything that would have blown me plot wise; as long as you understand what's happening it's quite easy to follow.

Keep in mind that the average IQ in America, and thus what would be considered a mindfuck, is pretty damn low. I heard somewhere that India has more kids with IQ's in the top 25% on the world than America has kids, total... At any rate, I think it was mostly touted for the effects and action sequences. Though i thought it was mentally stimulating. Nothing the matrix didn't already dry out, but it calls attention to a couple things I knew but did not know I knew, my favorite being the idea that since i cant remember how i got here (since I dont recall the first X many years of my life), I could very well be dreaming

for those of you who don't think this is an extremely well-written or even created movie, you should know that Nolan actually started writing this right after he released Memento (2000). but he didn't pursue it fully because he wanted to have a larger budget for certain scenes to be able to be fully played out (like the enormity of the dreams. he was quoted as saying dreams have an infinite feeling to their possibilities, so he felt doing it sooner without the full effects wouldn't have done the film justice). also, having a major production company backing him would make everything a little easier. so instead of this, he made the Batman Begins


so just imagine how much more of an impact this would have had in 2001...

I'm glad he waited. The dream sequences were pretty amazing... and sadly the movie may have lost a little something without them :c

[Drakonid]

It was a great movie, I did found it kind of like shutter island...
KingMilford: Seriously? I guess you've never watched Pocahontas before...

[Redemptionist]

[WakaWaka]

Its a great movie...for this year.
Now Im looking forward to "the other guys".

[wtfints]

hey,

i was wondering why during the free fall of the van, the 2nd dream becomes no gravity. However it doesn't affect the 3rd dream at all.

Shouldn't all subsequent dream be gravity-less as well?

[luvsmyncis]

It was okay. I was disappointed. My date joked about seeing Cats and Dogs instead, and I kinda wish we had. I enjoy talking animals.

Spoiler

I feel that half an hour of floating and shooting in the snow could have been taken out and it would have been better. I get that the point was to show that even though in the van, the seconds it takes for a vehicle to hit the water lasts forever in two layers of dreaming, but fucking come on, it was NOT exciting seeing it a million times.

LOL @ Ellen Page looking like a little turd standing next to Marion Cotillard. 

And of course the top keeps spinning forever. No way his kids are still little IRL.

I'm going to go see it this weekend with some friends, but I've hear from so many people that it's amazing, trippy, and deep!

[Reddevil]

the movie was insane, seriously, it scared the shit out of me also lol

[Lallard]

Gosh, yesterday was the only chance I got to see this film.

Great summer film by Nolan, although I still am not as mindfucked as everyone would've claimed.

One thing I'm going to enjoy about this flick is that it will have such a great replay value once it comes out on DVD

[Elle]

you guys are tempting me to extremes here.
my sister wants to watch it aswell...but im really too lazy to get up and drive to the cinema

[yannie]

This movie is pure genius

[Xcisor]

Me and my friends walked out of it speechless. I also thought his last movie Shutter Island was well put together. Also in spirit of the movie, I have this to offer.

this movie was great. now i'm starting to think they take these ingenious ideas from the government and make them into movies. flying cars are already designed and operating but not released to the public yet!

thats what i was thinking when i saw this movie. like... how do they think of this... it has to be some government technology. best place to hide something is right out in the open i suppose.

[swpwrx]

yeah for sure i think it stems straight from the government. on the other hand, the government controls everything that is released to the public.

Everything except the internet to an extent.
