You've watched the trailers.. you think you know what the movie is about.. but you don't. You THINK you know.. but you don't have a clue. I didn't. There's no way they can describe it in a trailer, so they had to show all the money shots using the effects. The result is absolutely mesmerizing.

I can't imagine how Chris Nolan was allowed to make it. There's no way a studio was convinced to put so much money behind a project like this just from the standpoint of its concept. He HAD to have bargained to make it for doing The Dark Knight. Spielberg, Cameron, Nolan... seriously.

Go see Inception.

Everything Christopher Nolan has touched has turned gold for the most part.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0634240/

Every one of those movies are very good and very unique. I haven't seen Following, Insomnia, or Doodlebug but they all have been received very well.

He's a real director to keep your eye on in the future. This was basically his shot to the big time, ie a top 3 director currently, and it appears he's hit a home run.

Going to see this tonight probably. Very excited.

...try to imagine Nolan sitting in front of studio execs trying to sell the concept of this movie. If he hadn't TDK I have to believe he'd have been laughed out of the building.

That gives you tons of clout on your next project. He could've gotten the studio to pony up $100 million for "2 Girls, 1 Cup: The Motion Picture" after TDK's money.

I thought it was a great movie. Granted, the reveal didn't exactly shock me maybe like it was intended, but it was a very well-made movie with generally great performances all around.

The guy he killed at the beginning was a former police officer. He had been helping Leonard kill anyone named "John G." who was also a scumbag who deserved to die.

You get to make a movie like this when your last makes a billion dollars and the studio wants you to make a sequel. It's a one-for-you, one-for-me scenario. The studio can't fit all of the money The Dark Knight made them into their pockets and Nolan tells them that if they let him do this project he'll come back and give them another Batman.

Nolan hasn't made a bad movie yet. Insomnia is really good and was just released on blu-ray this week if you haven't seen it. Al Pacino in one of his last good roles and Robin Williams gives possibly the best performance of his career (bar perhaps Good Will Hunting). Following is good too, although be forewarned that it is a true low-budget indie. Doodlebug is actually a short film, you can find it on youtube.

All these movies and he's not even 40 yet.

This movie will stick in your head for a while. I think I will need to see it 3 or 4 more times to figure out what the hell is actually going on. Cool, but pretty out there...

I'm not saying it's necessarily the best but it was no doubt the best theater/first viewing experience I've ever had. Just saw Inception, and I feel like someone drove a drill through my brain. Incredible. Mind rape.

I expected an additional twist at the end that I couldn't predict. My wife and me, at at the 20 min mark of the movie, predicted the ending.

Some of the scenes needed to be shortened. I think trimming 20-30 mins out of it would have helped.
My biggest annoyance was the amount of times a character got shot at (literally 100s of times), never got hit, then just turned around and nonchalantly fired a single shot that killed the adversary.

The story gets a bit convuluted at the end and they start making more rules about "inception" just to progress dicaprio's storyline.

long story short, its the Matrix without martial art fighting scenes.</p>

at the end. It was boring and you knew what the result what be.

There needed to be more plot development and they needed to add some sort of twist at the end.

More importantly, the concept was almost EXACTLY like the concept in the 13th Floor in 1999. It's close to the Matrix but it IS the 13th floor. Anyone who had seen the 13th floor knew what to expect in this movie. It was like Nolan watched the 13th floor and just added action sequences and big budget effects.

I guess you know film better than 84% of critics who have reviewed it so far....<div>

</div><div>Great movie in my opinion, the maze theory applied in the movie is how Nolan wrote this movie. I guess you wouldn't understand it if your are to ignorant to follow it.</div>

wasn't a mind bender like people said it was. It recycled older ideas and was simply a very good action movie within a sci-fi setting.

As I said earlier, you knew the ultimate ending within the 20 minutes of the opening.
