I... i really am speechless. ive been in a daze since i watched that movie last night. 
This is coming from a guy who finds The Dark Knight offputting, so u know i mean it when i say Inception was just..... 
 
Not only does it amaze you with the matrix-like basis of it (the whole dream-world concept), and not only does the movie deliver the whole dream-entering adventure brilliantly and perfectly, with top notch visuals and well-connected sequences, and not only is Cobb's incentive oh-so-touching and heartwarming (seeing his children's faces since he missed it and has been missing it in the memories ever since)  [this is coming from a guy who despises flicks that play on our emotions using family figures and shit] 
 
not only does it have and do all that mentioned above, but the motherfucking twist at the end where we learn about Cobb's first inception and how it affected the whole story
 
dude.. i have never in my life experienced a movie so fucking compelling on so many levels. a movie that pulls it off so successfully, and has layers upon layers integrated in it yet doesnt bore you out or cease to make sense 
  

This movie really, really deserves a moment of silence to appreciate how goddamn unique it is.

Quite indeed, it was awesome

It was alright in my opinion, nothing "OMG LET ME CUM IN MY PANTS!"-spectacular about it. 
The twist was kind of obvious (at least for the people we went with and ourselves) but it didn't make the movie worse at all.  
Only thing it really did for me is to make me think how awesome it would be to be able to do inceptions =D

" @ZeForgotten: What twist?  There is no "twist" in the film. "

" @ZeForgotten: and what was it?  I'm interested in what part of the movie you think is a "twist". "

i must admit that im not 100% sure of the definition of "twist", but isnt it a twist to know at the end that the inception Cobb spoke of in the beginning, is the one he gave his wife while they were in limbo so that she would kill herself and get back to the real world, and when she did she still thought she was in a dream and killed herself thinking she'll wake up to reality ? i guess when i say twist, i mean the surprise that stuns you, and changes things.  "

It was okay.

I don't know if I could call that a "twist" in the classical sense, more of an advancement and expounding of the plot.  A twist is when a plot point is portrayed as one thing to the viewer through a majority of the story, but in fact turns out to be something different later on.  Cobb didn't give any indication early in the movie that he performed Inception on anybody particular, his wife or otherwise.

I liked the movie too, but i think it went too matrixy to my liking. But i'm more of a poetic kind of guy.  
 
Awesome idea, but poor execution, as even the tecnique it tried to flesh out (of entering dreams) was way too complicated, and it took its tool to explain, although the idea was simple. 

" @CitizenKane: he told arthur on the plane that an inception is possible because he's done it before, and when arthur asked him who he did it to, he didnt answer"

Yep, it was seriously cool. Did you check out the vid on Screened that showed how the music messed with your brains as well?

On one hand, I saw the movie with my mother, who likes movies and insisted that we get out of the house so my older brother could work here without distractions (also, the library was closed that day).  The movie was enjoyable enough, and there were certainly things I liked about it.

But as a psychologist, all I could think of was "How can these people get 'source amnesia' so horribly wrong?".  Planting ideas in people's heads is a whole lot easier than the movie made it out to be;  for the absolute, extreme unrealism of it I had difficulty swallowing it.

Yep, I loved it. Definitely buying it when it comes out on Blu-ray.

Good good movie. And if you think 'it was all a dream' I will punch you in the face.

Sure there was, it wasn't the greatest and most non-obvious twist, but at least they tried for something to make the less smart people go "OH MY GOD!"   Actually, I feel bad about one thing. I couldn't help but make a Titanic joke at the beginning of the movie :( "

Congrats, you're the master of repeating what has already been said. But heck let's take it again, shall we? :P "

It was good, but not that good.

"The script is fantastic. "

It was good yeah, I wouldn't say amazingly good. Certainly nowhere near the Dark Knight. What got me was the fact that despite being pros at inception (or extraction, whatever), all involved seem to be really bad at the actual normal stuff in the dream state. They understand the complexities and stuff, but a bunch of dudes can still fuck em up.

" @ZeForgotten: What twist?  There is no "twist" in the film. "  

" @HandsomeDead: I loved it. I think it did an amazing job of easing us into the world of inception. With the dreams inside dreams, the architects, the main characters backstory.. Excellent! "

The movie was amazing, I loved the premise and the acting
I enjoyed the fact that it was the the dream world rules were so complex, it made me think a lot and made my second viewing much more enjoyable, because I understood more of what was happening
The ending was also great, although I wouldn't call it a twist

" @Jeust:  Oh, I definitely felt the film was trying to explain something really complex and convoluted, but that's why I loved it. It didn't stop to look at the screen, and say: Hey, are you getting all this? I know it's what movies are suppose to do, but with the latest movies dumbing down every concept, making me feel like an idiot, this one didn't.  It may require a second viewing to understand everything clearly, but that's the price I'm willing to pay. I understand if somebody doesn't like this sort of thing. "

I really liked the movie, but Nolan created a world with so many complexities that the audience focuses on the rules that the dreamscape is confined by rather than the story itself.  No one talks about the resolution between Mal and Cobb, nor about Cobb and Saito's for foreshadowing conversations.  People just keep asking "Was it a dream or not?"

From a realistic standpoint, after you get away from just how awesome the movie felt, you should be able to realize that it really wasn't that fantastic of a film. It was probably the worst film Dicaprio has been in in since Titanic. It was awesome, yeah, but it just had the few good things going for it. A lot wasn't done too well.
 
It shamefully introduced Ellen Page, as "the girl who doesn't know anything, so that the audience can learn as she learns." This is an insult to the smarter audience. We didn't need her. Writers of movies such as this should just make their movie. If people are too dumb to understand something, then that's their fault.
 
The part where Ellen Page (aka: The New Recruit, The Overpowered Sidekick, The Renegade Student, The Token Prodigy) demonstrates her powers in her first dream was a little messed up. I'm talking about the whole "twisting the back-ground upside-down onto the fore-ground" part. I don't mean its placement (yeah, it was a little out-of-place, but it still showed the audience just how awesome her skills were). I'm talking about the technical aspect of it. Being the avvid video game player that I am, I couldn't help but directly look at the part of that scene that I thought they'd mess up. And yep, they messed it up. When the city begins folding, the farthest point is still looking fine from our perspective, but as the tops of the top-towers begin to meet the tops of the bottom-towers, you start to see some clipping. The corners just kind of fold in over eachother and disappear into themselves. Like a computer draw-bridge closing both sides at once, and with zero collision detection. I know, a minor error. But I saw it clear as day.
 
The ending of the movie was just too cliche. It was a cop-out to get the audience to think about the film long after they left the theater, and has been the subject to much unwarranted debate.
 
Okay. So, the greatest film I've ever seen? No. The worst film Dicaprio has been in in awhile? Yeah, but that isn't that bad of a thing. Titanic was pretty neat, and all of Dicaprio's roles since then have been outstanding. Therefore, the movie was really, really cool. Even if it had some story cliches thrown around it, it was still a great movie. It just wasn't as great as it could have been.

" @FunExplosions: Shutter Island was worse in my opinion. And I really didn't like The Departed.  Hah, I guess you could say I'm not a big Scorsese fan. "

" I wish I could feel as passionate about the film as a lot of people seem to be.  "

The biggest clusterfuck I've ever seen capitalizing on people's wish to lucid dream. I didn't understand the emphasis on the ending since a spinning top will never keep spinning until infinity and if you want to say it would in a dream world, then that's just a cop-out as what kind of arbitrary law is that?

it really sucks that he is still in the dream world in the end. but i loved the movie. 

I thought it was good, and was my favorite movie that I've seen in a long while, but the first time they mentioned a dream within a dream (so like 20 minutes in), I turned to the person I was there with and said "So is the end of the movie going to be that it's all a dream?" and he said "Yeah, that's pretty obviously where it's going," so the ending didn't BLOW MY MIND like it seems it did to most people.
