Great movie the way the actors carry themselves was spot on. It surprisingly was very witty with Joseph's character. Great special effects definitely waiting to buy the film.

This movie baffled the mind and was created with perfection. I left the theater with a sense of awe and impossibility. Christopher Nolan has created the ultimate mind boggler of the century.

Toy Story may have a much better emotional story, but this movie truly delivers on so many more levels than just emotion. When I saw the first trailer for this movie, I knew that there was going to be a surreal element to it, but I was not prepared for exactly how complex and alien this movie would become. This movie shares many ideas used by other Sci-Fi, Heist, and movies of Nolan's past. It has the noirish feel of Memento, the look of The Dark Knight, a few moments that seem like they were ripped out of The Matrix, among many more. Even though it may sound like it borrows from so many, for me to say that would be a false statement. It refines each element and has a unique twist as to how they occur and how they are played out. The special effects do falter a bit in the beginning, but from there on out it is a truly beautiful display of the technology that Nolan' studio decided to use. The story starts out with a Mr. Cobb. He specializes in a certain type of theft. The theft of information. They way he does so is completely original, so I shall not spoil the how the technique is used. After the first job in his movie, he is asked to do the exact opposite of extraction, the thought of theft. This job is called inception which is the planting of a thought. As simple as this may sound, it is one of the most complex acts ever played out. I can tell no more, as it would ruin the true "wow" effect of this movie. Long story short, watch this movie now.… Expand

Fantastic movie. No, it isn't a truly original concept, but nothing is. I don't see how anyone could think this was boring, as there was action throughout most of the movie and the stakes were higher than death. So glad Hollywood Fantastic movie. No, it isn't a truly original concept, but nothing is. I don't see how anyone could think this was boring, as there was action throughout most of the movie and the stakes were higher than death. So glad Hollywood made a movie that's not a sequel. You have to be paying attention and thinking about what's going on at all levels of the dreams to really understand what's going on, which might put off some people, but it really enhances the film. I love non-linear storytelling, though, so I might be biased. Great acting as well. Glad to see Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (aka chick from Juno and dude from (500) Days of Summer/Third Rock from the Sun) do some action roles to show they have chops outside pseudo-indie hipster movies.

DiCaprio is imminently relatable and the rest of the cast all play their roles brilliantly - this is what cinema is about. The film climaxes as it reaches its end and we're left with a tantalising, thought-provoking ending. As a whole, Inception brings a whole host of fascinating concepts to the table and drives them through an exciting story-arc. It's a brilliant film and one I'd highly recommend watching.… Expand

After The Dark Knight, Going into a movie with this much hype is scary. I think that fact needs no explanation, but when a hyped up movie surpasses all the hoopla and leaves you in a complete trance, you know it's something remarkable. After The Dark Knight, I thought there was no way Nolan could do it again, but I was very wrong. This movie twists your brain, but there is never a time where I felt it was disjointed or lost its way. The whole idea behind the movie may be unrealistic, but it is so well written and played out that it feels real. Another plus is that through all the info the movie feeds at you, it still keeps some incredible action. The fight scene in the rotating hallway is brilliantly shot. The acting, directing, writing, and score are terrific. The last notes of the movie give me the shivers. This is cinema firing on all cylinders, and I'm so happy that we were given this breath of fresh air. Those who disgrace this movie need to learn to open their minds to the impossible.

With the close-minded nature of many publications and audiences, it's no surprise they're absolutely baffled and inclined to bash it for not tailoring to them, the crowd who has been absorbing less-than-wholesome comedies and action movies for the last year (including the rather shallow, if fabulously striking, Avatar). Brains triumph over brawn when your eyes hit the screen, but the movie definitely does flex some muscle, with over-the-top, balls-to-the-walls set pieces that will leave you reeling. If you're going to watch Inception, remember to enter the theater with an open mind. Be ready to absorb a lot of plot points and track multiple parallel "realities." If you ready that other 90% of your brain for use, you will appreciate just what Nolan has achieved with this movie.

Hello good friends, this is a work of fiction. If your mind doesn't have the capacity for imagination and creativity, this probably isn't the movie for you. The history channel would probably be a better use of your time. This movie is the best movie to hit the theaters in a LONG time. I was blown away, and half of the people I saw it with were watching it for the 2nd and 3rd time. Christopher Nolan films the movie brilliantly, and the actors in this were superb. Leo with an outstanding performance as usual. His characters make his movies so engaging. The only problem I had with one of the actors was the asian guy. I don't mean to be racist, but I couldn't understand what he was saying half the time. Maybe I'm deaf. Anyways I can't really explain how epic this movie is. It's pretty much extremely far-fetched plot wise so don't go expecting a believable movie like memento. Outstanding visuals, audio, actors, storytelling, it's all here. Go see it, you won't be disappointed (unless you're an engineering grad from an Ivy league school, I guess).… Expand

That said, you DON'T have to see Inception multiple times if you are A) reasonably intelligent, B) ready to watch a film intently from start to finish, and C) willing to suspend disbelief for a few hours, which is pretty much a requisite for 99% of movies anyway. If you successfully complete all three tasks, you will find Inception to be intriguing, suspenseful, and unlike anything you've seen before on a movie screen. To put it in one sentence...

Only a 9 at the moment due to the huge expectations and hype i placed on the movie which in fairness it just couldn't reach, I felt the length, and slight predictability took something away from it. But really that is not the point, this film can't be judged on the same merits as other big budget blockbusters because it is so darn original and clever. The ideas in this film would have been so extraordinary on paper and in Nolan's head but to apply them in such a stunning fashion and (more the most part just about) in a way that makes sense was at times draw dropping. The man knows how to build tension like no other major film director today,much like he did with the 'boat dilemma' in The Dark Knight he created another 'ticking clock' function which drove the film forward perfectly. The visuals in this picture are draw dropping and at no point look like a 'special effect', they are so natural in the film and make the dream sequences all the more immersive. One final note on Di Caprio, he just gets better and better and better, gives depth to the character that in turn increases the depth of the film, awesome!… Expand

Is a dream fragmented memories from your life that appear in a disjointed sequences of events or is a dream things you have done over the course of day or things you have seen that are lumped together to create a strange and at sometimes puzzling world that springs forth from the inner most reassesses of the human mind. Some will tell you the answer to why we dream and others will say that we dream because it is how our minds are constructed to keep us active even when we sleep, (at least that is how I see it). The truth is that we as an advanced race will never truly know the reasons for dreams. The Human mind is the most complex and powerful thing we as humans posses and our ability to dream gives us something much more than just to keep our minds active it is a way for us to draw inspiration and to recover memories that we thought were long gone. Christopher Nolan(director of Memento, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) gives us a glimpse at the power of the mind the wonders of dream and a story that is as complex as the dream world it weaves a crime that does not take place someplace a place where the mind is the scene of the crime. Over the course of 11 years, Christopher Nolan has become one of modern cinemas greatest directors delivering one amazing film after another after another after another, Nolan has achieved a certain level of success at such a young age that is only matched by one other legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Nolan's films are as complex as the next he never strays from focusing on the events of the story or the characters as they shift through theses dark and at sometimes lurid sequences of events that befall them. That is his style and that is the reasons I love his movies there is so much to them not just what is on the surfaces but what is beneath the surfaces the deep rooted anxiety of theses characters. There dark painful pasts, the non linear story telling that is almost ever present in all of his films his latest endeavor, "Inception" is no exception. "inception" is a twist a minute, mind bending brain teaser it is the rare kind of summer blockbuster that thrills you while at the same time making you think about the boundless possibilities that the dream world that our minds create. The only other movie, actually I should say movies, I have ever seen that posses such powerful questions are "The Matrix"(1999) and "Vanilla Sky"(2001) although "Vanilla Sky" is far more like "Inception than "The Matrix" they both are up there as two of the most mind bending Science Fiction films I have ever seen. Both films using the ideas of reality to further along there sometimes-confusing plot and "Inception" has one hell of a perplexing plot. This kind of movie is a thinking persons movie someone who has the attention span to keep there focus pinned on Nolan's bleak and stark vision of a dark visually stunning dream world that is amazingly not to different from our own. I know there will be people walking into this movie expecting a run of the mill action thriller that is just covered up by a premise that takes place in the dream world, they will sadly walk out upset that they did not get the mindless action that they expected or even wanted. A more perceptive experienced moviegoer will know what to expect from this twisty Nolan film and if you know that, you can never predict how it will end or what will happen then you have all they need to watch this brilliant piece of filmmaking. "Inception" took me by surprise I expected this film to be something similar to "The Matrix" and yet I got something far more complex and daring a wholly original and jarring Sci-Fi Noir that boldly puts itself out there and challenges the horrendous summer blockbusters by doing what they failed to do. Deliver a solid and thrilling piece of entertainment that surpasses anything that mainstream Hollywood has put out in the recent months. Nolan not only blows away the competition he crushes it leaving nothing but rubble of the films that should have been winner but instead were failures. "Inception" is one of the best if not the best film of the summer and one of the films of the year.… Expand

The effects are amazing, the cast is perfect, it's one of the most original things I've ever seen and it's just a perfect package. I loved it because it's not the average summer action movie - it actually makes you think for a change, unlike, say, Transformers or Star Trek.

Go in expecting to think. If you go in expecting it to be another Dark Knight, you're not only stupid, you're expecting the wrong movie. Without trying to sound elitest, the only reason I can't see someone liking this movie is if they're either stupid, impatient or refuses to listen to something without explosions every five seconds. Those are good, but Inception isn't one of them. It's just clever action, and I can't think of anything else like it. 10/10, see it now.… Expand

Surprisingly enough, the story and the screenplay in general are even more stunning than the visuals are! One is never quite certain what is going on - is it all a dream, or is it reality - which is the theme that goes across the whole film.
With an amazingly original screenplay by director Christopher Nolan, it is hard for "Inception" to leave you without thinking. It is actually a rather engaging film, and I cannot imagine many people walking out from the film thinking that it did not offer food for thought, if nothing else.
The visual effects are stunning, and in the same class as were the ones from "The Matrix" back in the day. Surely, it is not as breathtaking as "Avatar" was, but that was not it's intention in the first place. It is just visually a great film.
The cast was also rather superb, especially DiCardo, Gordon-Levitt and Cottilard. Not really amazing performances, but definitely good and not over the top, which would have brought the quality of the film down.
Christopher Nolan's direction and imagination are at it's peak - he has definitely surpassed "The Dark Knight" by far, with this film. Definitely a new masterpiece of cinema, that will leave no one apathetic.… Expand
