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...

However what didnt work for me, was it tried to be way to clever for its own good, the music was copied and pasted from shutter island etc etc, but the worst above all was that the underlying current through the entire movie...was greed!! Everything that was done, was for ones self gain, Think about it....

On the one hand, I love the "form and function" filmmaking skills of Nolan--he uses the editing of the film as much as the plot to tell the story, which is great. On the other hand, I could never really invest myself in any character, as I wasn't really given a reason to. Ultimately, I didn't care what happened to Tom Cobb, and the characters I did care more about weren't at all the focus of the narrative, although they were masqueraded to be. So, blah blah blah, it's a summer movie, I know, but I'm going to buy into that, then I will say outright that Terry Gilliam's Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was the recent film that most captivated me emotionally and imaginatively, and that Inception is a great summer blockbuster, but not worthy of the "best of the year" title.… Expand

Nolan weaves together a narrative stunning in Of the five Christopher Nolan films I have seen before this, 4 have been truly exceptional movies, Insomnia was decent. So, I had huge expectations for Inception. It surpassed every one easily. Nolan weaves together a narrative stunning in its complexity, while keeping it coherent. I did not find it at all difficult to follow, as paying attention was easy with the spectacular visuals and action that keep even the easily confused glued to the screen. Even if all the small technicalities aren't kept straight in one's mind, the viewer is always aware of the emotional center and feels the gravity of the situation. I walked out of the theater fully satisfied, having enjoyed every moment of the movie right the last brain teasing scene. However, it wasn't until thinking about the plot later, that I began to grasp the true brilliance of it all. This film deals with themes like substance abuse, loss, family, and has religious overtones such as faith, and depictions of hell. While I normally find over-analyzing to be annoying, I can't help but feel that in those 10 years of writing this script, Nolan had a lot to say and created a genius and thought-provoking story on every level. He is the greatest director of hollywood blockbuster's today, bringing originality, emotionally heavy, and intelligent stuff to the table while remaining entertaining as hell. This is his masterpiece.… Expand

I've heard the word visionary thrown Nolan's way, but this film was the work of a rather sterile imagination. Yes, it had many layers of narrative cleverly interweaved with eachother, but there was little to compel me at its core. The root cause of Cobb's state of mind just didn't grab me - partly as this relationship was never given the chance to develop to a tangible level. The elements of subconscious displayed were tame and the approach to the dreamworld rather banal - focusing as it did mainly on bland designs, bendy gimmicks and exploding things. There was little edge to Nolan's vision, he seemed quite happy to drown us in relentless exposition and unimaginative slow-mo shots. Scenes were very quick and at no point approached the atmosphere and interest of a real dream. A shame, because at their best, this is what films can do - engineer the quality of a waking dream. Compare Inception to the more intriguing work of Lynch, where scenes seduce with the perfect balance of the real and surreal, and whose images tend to linger in the mind. On top of this, Nolan is simply not a very good director of action; he is quite loose with the camera, and I yearned for more flair and invention in these scenes. Instead, he relied on an incredibly insistent score to give the action some punch. For a film about dreams and the subconscious, it was curiously impersonal and mechanical. Certainly, the real danger and sexuality of the subconscious might scare off mainstream audiences, but Nolan was given free reign to do what he wanted - so why not do something more interesting? Freud and Jung would find little to interest them here, as the film is less concerned with psychology and more with the narrative possibilities afforded by a convoluted dreamworld fiction. Perhaps Nolan does dream of corporate worlds and Bond fortresses. Unfortunately, such things don't interest me.… Expand

It was hard to tell what was real and what was dreams and who was alive and who was dead. The low point was an extended "polar scene" where everyone was dressed in heavy padded white winter wear including snow goggles and there were snow plows and skis, but nobody's breath turned white! Without a doubt, the bad guys in this movie were the worst shots in movie history! Over and over again, the white van was bombarded with tons of bullets, but only one of the passengers was hit (a flesh wound from which he recovered). The bad guys in the snow scene were even poorer shots! Very good special effects, but overall not worth the price of the ticket.… Expand

It requires your full attention and memory banks to keep track of all the things going on with the flashes from "reality" to dream(s). In short, it makes the first "Matrix" movie seem like a childrens story. This flim should get the acadamy nod for best editing since to keep this all together, including the time distorsions from dream level to dream level, and not letting the required 'talkiness' of the characters run it into the ground, is a masterful. This is one to see twice, three times... or in your dreams.… Expand

I scroll down the list of comments, and I see strings of 10's, the occasional 6, and some 0's. The 10's all came from people who fully understood this complicated movie (although if you think a little bit, you can understand it), the 6's were from people who enjoyed it, but did not fully understand it, and the 0's- well, have no clue. I give this a 9 because of the visual effects, captivating storyline, excellent concept and the constant traps and situations that made us begging for more. The positives FAR outweigh the negatives- there are a few though: the complexity (which is great to me and many others, but those who cannot understand will give this a 0, so this is both a positive and a negative), the length (just a bit long, but very tolerable), and the lack of background in some parts (Dom and Moll's relationship, for one). Still, very good movie, completely disagree with the 0's, and honestly, no movie is a true "10", in my book, as all movies have pitfalls somewhere. In the end, Nolan is awesome and I can't blame you guys for giving 10's, i am too still shocked. This movie does not deserve an 8.3 rating, and one last thing-- Who agrees with me?… Expand

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. First entertainment production in AGES that has blown my mind on principle instead of flash.… Expand
