The ending was one of the best and open endings Ive seen in a movie and can be interpreted so many ways. The movie is just fantastic, and has left my mind blown like many others.

Nolan gives you bits and pieces of information, and as the movie plays out the viewer begins to put the pieces together and the picture gradually becomes clearer. Chris Nolan doesn't dumb down the movie for the audience like most Hollywood movies do these days, he expects us to keep up with him. And when we do, the reward is extremely gratifying. And the visuals were amazing.… Expand

When it comes to the director and writer of both "Memento" and "The Dark Knight" (Christopher Nolan) you already have high expectations for a movie before you even see the trailer, and especially a movie where an artist is given as much When it comes to the director and writer of both "Memento" and "The Dark Knight" (Christopher Nolan) you already have high expectations for a movie before you even see the trailer, and especially a movie where an artist is given as much money as they need to do whatever they want. I went into "Inception" expecting a cross between "Dreamscape" and "The Matrix" and I came out of the movie having to say that it was a lot better than I expected. If you love thinking movies like "Brazil", "12 Monkeys" or "A Clockwork Orange" you are not going to be disappointed, and if you like action movies like "The Bourne Ultimatum" or "The Matrix" you aren't going to be disappointed either. Without spoiling the movie, "Inception" kept me guessing right up to the very last scene, and having seen it with my best friend we came up with 2 completely different conclusions about the story, and yet both of them work perfectly. THAT takes a ton of genius. If you are a lover of great films and "Transformers 2" made you think that everything coming out of Hollywood these days is less than stellar (to be nice about it), "Inception" will remind you that there are still great film makers out there and "Inception" will renew your faith in film. While "Avatar" may still be the king when it comes to the box office and sheer scope of applied CGI, "Inception" reminds us of what really great storytelling is all about. "Inception" was darn near film perfection, in my opinion, and now easily sits on my top 10 favorite movies of all time. Finally 2 things: See it in IMAX if you can, and I can't wait to see it again!… Expand

Firstly let me say that the pro critics shown on this page that rated Inception low, very low, must have only watched the completely silent, totally uninformative trailer (the original short). Either they didn't watch it or they are Firstly let me say that the pro critics shown on this page that rated Inception low, very low, must have only watched the completely silent, totally uninformative trailer (the original short). Either they didn't watch it or they are genuinely not smart enough to break the relatively steep learning curve of the movie quickly enough to enjoy it. And the learning curve is indeed steep. The movie progresses quickly and if you aren't quite able to work out the concepts that are "between the lines" you might end up leaving thinking what David Edelstein wrote in his review: "Inception manages to be clunky and confusing on four separate levels of reality." What he writes here is only half true. The movie is a bit confusing and leaves a lot of the thought work to the audience. It is NOT however "clunky"; the concepts are provided very elegantly and with great depth from the start. Here is what I feel is one of the dumbest of the reviews of this movie, it is by Nick Pinkerton of the Village Voice. He says: "It's obvious that Nolan either can't articulate or doesn't believe in a distinction between living feelings and dreams" I was honestly totally blown away by the sheer idiocy this comment. Why? Inception spends the entire movie explaining EXACTLY this. The idea that (quoting Pinkerton again) the "distinction between living feelings and dreams" can become forever blurred is probably the single most critical concept of Inception. It provides the foundation for the antagonist and the dramatic aspects, the consequences of failure and death in this otherwise safe dreamworld. Remove this foundation and the movie becomes nothing more simple and dull action movie. It is blatantly obvious that Nick Pinkerton either didn't even watch Inception in whole or it simply was far above his ability to think critically; flying over his head with such speed there must be a burn mark. Moving on from the critics, the movie is quite good. It is smart and thought provoking, the kind of movie that keeps you excitedly discussing it with your friends on the ride home. It is an action movie that is spared from the current tediousness of action movies by the critical dramatic tenants of love, loss (and the ability to cope with it) and the sense of terrible consequences of failure, keeping you sitting upright and empathetic to the characters for the whole movie. That is really saying something considering that the movie is rather long at 2 hours and 30 minutes. This sort of length has ruined some movies by keeping you so long it becomes impossible to keep interest, ruining the whole experience. This is NOT the case with Inception. When the movie ended I was hugely surprised that so much time had passed. Inception keeps you fully engaged the entire movie and even after two and a half hours you'll find yourself wishing there was more. With the above in mind remember to hit the bathroom before the movie because there is simply no moment of the movie that is good to leave during, every moment is important and great. Go see it, I promise you'll like it.… Expand

A Modern Movie Masterpiece!! I saw this movie today (7/17) in IMAX with a packed theater and have to say that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Christopher Nolan delivers his finest and most audacious film yet. It is the story A Modern Movie Masterpiece!! I saw this movie today (7/17) in IMAX with a packed theater and have to say that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Christopher Nolan delivers his finest and most audacious film yet. It is the story of an extractor (DiCaprio) a thief who breaks into dreams. He gets cornered into his largest job yet, to break into a businessman's (Murphy) dream and plant information in his mind. To protect the film's twists and turns, I will stop there. The direction is frightening. For a filmmaker to get into our head and make us question reality and fantasy on the screen is almost like controlling our mind. This is what Nolan achieves, and to top it off, his actors give such convincing and realistic performances that we almost feel like we are in the dream with them. Some critics, and they know who they are: Rex Reed and company, who have panned the film believe that Nolan focused on visuals rather than the story and characters, but that is absolute insanity. It should be clear to any viewer that the story and characters are the real effect here. The visuals are amazing, but to be honest, they are supporting the story. They are no "Lord of the Rings" or "Jurassic Park", they aren't that effective. But unlike those two films, they play a psychological role in "Inception". I would be shocked if AMPAS didn't nominate the superb Wally Pheister's cinematography, Hans Zimmer's haunting score, Christopher Nolan's direction, Marion Cotillard's emotional performance, and the supurb editing at the least. The film is more than Best Picture worthy, but given AMPAS's history of nominating films like "The Blind Side", "The Reader", and "Moulin Rouge" rather than the critically acclaimed films, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get nominated come next year. Not a safe bet, but I do say with the lack of acclaimed and intelligent films this year it should get a Best Picture nomination. See This Film! The ending is amazing, and if you have at least an 8th Grade reading comprehension level (unlike Rex Reed and Company) you will come back to the theater wanting more and scratching your head. Enjoy!… Expand

I have not said that about a single film I've seen in the last 10 years and that is because it took me many viewings of various films to put them into this category. Moives like Children of Men, Zodiac, and Pans Labyrinth where all films that ended up in the 5 or 6 of my top ten list in their respective years but, by the end of last decade had made such a lasting impression I placed them among my favorite films of last decade (also include The Dark Knight). However, I can firmly state that after the first time I saw this film I was sold. This is a masterpiece!!! A word thrown around a lot but, is truly earned here. This is a movie that has caused the less active viewers to have a difficult time with the plot. This makes me love it all the more. I love having my intelligence rewarded. I will not go into extreme depth here because I could describe the whole thing and you still would not get it until you see it. This film is a dual narrative film about a man, Cobb, who has lost his children and wants to get back to them. However, a lingering memory of his dead wife and some false charges will not leave him to move forward and be with them in America. Which leads to the second narrative about a man, Saito, who wants him to implant a memory into his business competitor so that his company can compete in an expanding energy market. Cobb must complete this job and let his wife go so that he can move on with his life. It is also about a host of other things and every character (there are many) is dealt with in a sufficient amount of detail considering all the rules that have to be explained in a movie like this. Some of these characters, Cilian Murphy especially, have emotionally resonant stories of their own that could have been their own little films. This film,however, is an action film and there is no shortage of it. The sustained tensioned created by the amazing editing of Lee Smith and the operatic score of Hans Zimmer is the longest I believe I have been on the edge of my seat in my life. I honestly believe that you can look for this movie to be nominated for close to 10 Academy Awards from Best Picture to Cinematography to Sound to possibly a nod for DiCaprio with the combination of his to fabulous performances this year and the underated Shutter Island less likely to land one (even though I think it is the best performance of the year) . And in a perfect world Christopher Nolan will finally receive his long over due nomination. I saw this movie for the first time Monday then again on Saturday and I still cannot get it off my mind. I know that this will eventually pass but I'm not sure that I want it to.… Expand

Although The Prestige is still my favourite of Nolan's works, never mind my favourite movie of all time, Inception is by no means just an alright movie. It is an absolutely perfect, mind-bending thrill ride. Emotionally satisfying.

People who go see a masterpiece like Inception and don't understand it seem to activate a self-defense mechanism in their heads which starts to give them the idea that just because the film was too clever it is therefore "absent of logic". Probably the same kind of person who though Transformers 2 was brilliant. Anyway, if anyone is on the fence about this film, GO SEE IT, seriously. You do have to pay attention, but if you do it should not be a problem to follow what is going on, and I assure you what is going on will not disappoint.

As an artist myself, it brings me a lot of joy to say that Inception is one of the best movie ever made. It has everything you would probably want out of an action/adventure/suspense-thriller. Similar to how I felt about Avatar and my As an artist myself, it brings me a lot of joy to say that Inception is one of the best movie ever made. It has everything you would probably want out of an action/adventure/suspense-thriller. Similar to how I felt about Avatar and my journey through the land of Pandora, I got the same guided tour through the dreams of the human mind.It has Casino Royal's gritty, espionage-like feel on top of the Matrix physics defying aggression. The movie literally captivates you for 148 minutes. The movie is epic, in a sense of the word. It takes you from a heavily populated city to Mombasa to some icy fortress. And if you pay attention you can never be confused the characters do a fantastic job of letting you/us the viewer know what's going on, it almost felt as if I was being spoken to directly. Adding to the experience is the superb acting by the entire cast Leonardo is in tip top shape as you would expect but he does not out shine the others, Joseph-Gordon, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy and Marion Cotilliard add phenomenal acting performances to the movie and you just feel, "wow!" I can't forget the score Hans Zimmer did a fantastic job on the score each matched the setting and feel of the backdrop. My favorite is Mombasa. However, the movie has it's hiccups, first there is the score, I know I just said it was amazing and epic. But when a score is that great, epic and loud there are moments where it needs to be tuned down for the sake of the dialogue.There are moments in the movie where the dialogue is supposed to be first to get the point further across however, the score seemed to overshadow it. Another fault was the emotion or from time to time lack-there-of; Leo has many struggles in this movie similar to his character in Shutter Island. But the emotional struggle between Cobbs (Leo) and his wife Mallorie (Cotillard) can feel distant at times. But you do feel the melancholy vibe in certain areas but I wish there was more of that. Bottom line, if you want a movie that gives you everything 100% and that is original, Inception is what you should invest your time in. It. Is. Worth it.… Expand

A lot of exposition but it's all part of the plan (and besides, a lot of the film's detractors complain that it's confusing and clunky, and then proceed to do the same regarding the extensive exposition, which is kind of silly). As for the emotional resonance of the film, again the 2nd viewing was more rewarding, which is strange. To the people on here giving this 5 and below, some of the doing so to ostensibly 'balance out the hype"-that's absolutely ridiculous. If you didn't think it was a masterpiece or if you didn't enjoy it well fine-but it's not The Last Airbender or Transformers 2. Is it Kubrick's 2001? Nope. But it is the most cerebral and audacious 160 million dollar summer blockbuster of all time. Oh, and Predators was garbage. Some of you guys who liked Predators probably complained about a movie like Avatar having a regurgitated story (which it obviously does but fortunately it was kind of well mounted hahaha), and a film like Inception being derivative of Dreamscape (as if Nolan would have never come up with his premise if those film's hadn't existed, where). Again, ridiculous. At the absolute least, the debate surrounding the film is an indication that it has accomplished exactly what it was supposed to.… Expand

His work is by no means inspiring because you simply cannot align your intellect with his imagination.

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

Its a shame that Inception is the movie of the year, It was intense, cerebral, conceptually imaginative and action packed. If only more films were made with this level of ambition and guile the cinema would be a far better place to be. Its a shame that Inception will easily become the quintessential movie of its type, because there really should be more competition for that title. I was disappointed to see critics, obviously used to the likes of Snakes on a Plane and Hot Tub Time Machine, saying that Inception is 'confusing' and 'complicated' when it really isn't. It just happens to be more complicated that the average movie, which really isn't difficult to achieve, and just because you have to keep up during the film and you might be still thinking about it 20 mins after doesn't make it confusing. Come on guys! MAN UP!
