briremo Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 nothing short of spectacular! Best Film I've seen in years, YEARS! The director toys with us, thrills us and literrlly leaves us breathless. There were several points in the film where you could hear the whole audience reminding themselves to breathe. The score was emothional and bombastic, reminding you that 'you aint seen nothing like it'. Staggering images and scenes that portray more than story line. You will have to see it again! The last 20 seconds of film are well,,,you gotta see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that doesn't sound like a good time, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that doesn't sound like a good time, to me. Some of the scenes are so intense that you forget to breathe. I'm serious, everyone sitting around me did the same exact thing after one of these long tense scenes. You could hear everyone sucking in a big breath at the same time and then go "whew!" Superior film making. At its highest art form. And the end of the film...Chris Nolan just pokes you in the eye to let you know he's been in total control of you! Awesome.

Tortoise and Hare Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Glad to hear this - - my nephew wants us to go to Providence to see it at the IMAX - - sounds worth the trouble to go to the city! Thanks!!! Hare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm looking forward to seeing this movie! Christopher Nolan is the rare director who makes popular movies that are intelligent and challenging. He really took Batman and ran with it. It's because of the success of Batman that he can make movies like Inception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) I saw it last night too. Interesting theme, great visuals, score & cast and I do believe that Nolan is one of the few Hollywood greats BUT...I have to say that I didn't think it was that awesome. In fact, I was slighly disappointed because I have such a high regard for Nolan. I guess I felt that the flick seemed to do too much by piling layer upon layer of dreams & disorientation. (Like the op) I don't want to give away any spoilers either but the end does make you question some things.

There's that scene near the end where Ellen Page is falling...I had to run and hoped I didn't miss much but figured I could piss myself and catch the whole thing or miss like 30 secs I missed the 30 secs or is it 30 days....

KenJennings Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) I wasn't that impressed. **minor spoiler below*** Ellen Page was hot; otherwise, the movie seemed like a less subtle version of the Futurama episode "The Sting".

briremo Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 QUOTE (JohnnyBlaze @ Jul 20 2010, 06:46 AM) I just didn't get the boner that nearly everyone else seems to have acquired for it. well some of us only get to see movies like Toy Story and The Proposal from time to time so anything remotely exciting is a great film. Really I watch a lot of movies and haven't seen anything this good since The Dark Knight. That was two years ago. Before that, uh, LOTR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really I watch a lot of movies and haven't seen anything this good since The Dark Knight. That was two years ago. Before that, uh, LOTR? That's fine. I sometimes hate, dislike, or don't care too much about extremely popular movies. LOTR, The Matrix, Harry Potter, and now Inception are in this list. I haven't seen TOY STORY 3 yet but I'll probably like that more than Inception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briremo Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 ah, so you just want to be a rebel? Doesn't matter if it's good film, you won't go see it because it's popular. Brilliant! Nothing like keeping an open mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if it's good film, you won't go see it because it's popular. Brilliant! Nothing like keeping an open mind! Of course not. I don't know where you got that idea from my post. Didn't you read the "...SOMETIMES I hate, dislike, or don't care for extremely popular movies" part? Of course I want to see a good movie when I fork over money or even if it's just on the tube. I was just saying that I don't like some popular movies for various reasons...Inception, I already said why...Matrix, seemed more style than substance...Harry Potter, the books were way better and the movies didn't come off as well...etc. But just to let you know that I'm not the rebel: Shawshank Redemption is my favorite movie and that's widely recognized as one of the most popular movies of all time. I really liked E.T. & Jaws and I loved both of Nolan's Batman films, & The Wizard of Oz. Happy now? Edited July 21, 2010 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-D-RocK- Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I thought the movie was good, but not at the edge of my seat choking on popcorn kernals good. I give it a 3/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
