Just watched it today and I loved it! It's my favorite movie this year. For a complex concept, it's very straightforward and also philosophical about the concepts of reality and truth. Awesome! I've been reading some discussions about others' take on the ending and overall story. :)
Haven't seen it yet, but something I've noticed lately is the heightened quality of movies that Leonardo seems to be going for. Of note is "The Departed", an excellent movie.
Simply put, I thought the movie was both stupid and awesome. There are lots of things that are unexplainable within the movie's "logic," but all of the crazy mind-bending visual set-ups were unique enough to keep me interested. When one of the actors-in the middle of the movie-has to say "Wait, what's going on" just so they can explain to the audience, that's a clear sign that a movie doesn't skillfully or clearly present it's story. It didn't help that the movie ruined its premise by turning it into a hackneyed gimmick.
@Zajtalan: after seeing people call The Dark Knight / District 9 "something to behold", people's opinions no longer mean shit and lost their credibility to me.. its traumatic
however, im going with 2 friends by the end of this week to watch Inception :) and buy Uncharted 2 on my way
This movie was fucking amazing. I was expecting it to be good and exciting but man, was it intense! And it had you thinking, keeping track of shit, wondering about shit you would do. I loved it. It is one of those movies that are so good you want to see again, but don't know if you can handle it.

If you have a problem with people saying The Dark Knight and District 9 are good movies then you seriously have some issues because there are WAYYYYY worse modern movies these days. You should call it traumatic when people say how much they love Transformers or even Predators.
On topic i thought Inception was a great movie. You're really thrown right into the middle of everything from the start, you have no clue was going on, but it all comes together nicely as it goes on.
@SSully: no troll intended; Transformers and The Dark Knight are about the same to me. same pathetic 7 hour long NEO-ACTION flicks with all the vague directing and boring shit that show they're trying too hard to recreate the action genre

I thought it was a great movie and DiCaprio has really been in some great movies of late. The Departed, Shutter Island, and now Inception to name just a few.
Saw it yesterday and I really liked it. It started out kind of slow, but it picked up after awhile and got incredibly interesting, and while complex, it wasn't half as confusing as people are making it out to be. It pretty much lays everything it wants you to know right out in front of you early on. I loved the score the film had and I thought Joseph Gordon Levitt was particularly bad-ass in it. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing it again.
