Inception

I saw Inception a few days ago and I am throughly impressed. Its been a long time since i left the theater impressed. Easily one of my new favorite movies. I would HIGHLY recommend going to see it if you have not yet.

I rate it up there near the original Matrix in execution.

A real mind movie.

Anyone else see it? What did you think of it?

Saw it yesterday and loved it. I recommend not trying to figure it out while you're watching...just go with it and do that afterwards.

Leo's a damn fine actor.

I saw it with a couple people from the office. I am amazed by Nolan and Wally Pfister (director of photography) visuals in the movie. So well crafted.

I hope to see it again soon.

Best movie I've ever seen.
I practically cried at the end because I can't honestly say Toy Story 3 was the best movie of the summer.
Then I started crying because I realized that I may never see a movie that good.

Between Batman Begins, Dark Knight, and now Inception, I am practically foaming at the mouth for Gotham.

Chris Nolan is an amazing writer and director, this original story is more proof of that.

I guess there's a Dune movie reboot on the horizon, I can't think of anyone else that could do that story justice than Nolan (though he's not attached to it).

I thought it was a little bit flawed considering Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies, but it was still a ride like nothing else.

Also, the hotel hallway/rolling van scene is probably my favorite action scene ever. Instant chills.

I saw it with my girlfriend. I was in an excellent cinema in excellent seats, and I was yawning about 2/3 through, and had a gentle headache by the end. Both me and my girl were essentially bored. It's a very well made film, but it goes nowhere and leaves little behind. In our opinion anyway Movie opinions are so subjective.

I wrote an opinion piece about it that's too long to paste here, but check it out if you're up for some counterpoints.

I feel dumb for not getting that myself. Amazing.
