i think the editing for this movie is lock for an oscar, the way they handle the multiple layer of dream during the last act is just fantastic, unless there is some really extraordinary awesome editing in movies that coming out in the next few month, Lee Smiths looks good to win.

some possible sequel option biggrin.gif

QUOTE
When Warner Bros. agreed to foot the $160 million bill for Inception, they probably just thought they were doing an easy Batman-deductible favor for the director whose Dark Knight made them like a billion dollars. But now that Christopher Nolan's passion project has earned $90 million worldwide in its first five days, it's hard to imagine that the studio isn't considering the film's franchise potential. Sure, Inception was very obviously designed as a stand-alone movie, with an ambiguous ending that would be cheapened by a sequel — but there's money to be made here! To help WB make their pitch to Nolan, we've come up with five ideas for an Inception 2.

Inceptions
If you thought the first movie was confusing, wait until you see Dom Cobb and his team try to break up a company by implanting opposing ideas in the dreams (and dreams within dreams, etc.) of its two different founders, simultaneously!

Inception: The Sleepsquel
Yesterday, CHUD's Devin Faraci posited an interesting theory that the dream-making process in Inception is a metaphor for filmmaking: Leonardo DiCaprio is playing a director (a version of Nolan), Saito is his producer, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Dileep Rao, and Tom Hardy are his crew, and Cillian Murphy the movie/dream's "audience." So Inception 2 could be Nolan's meta-commentary on the Hollywood sequel-making process: Dom Cobb and his team battle Saito over money; Ellen Page quits her job as the architect and gets replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal; and then they all halfheartedly reenter Murphy's consciousness. Also, since Nolan hates 3-D, Yusef the chemist could invent a powerful new sedative that makes dreams more vivid and allows the team to charge more money for their work — until it ends up killing everybody.

Inception II: Cobb Returns
On Sunday, we theorized that in Inception, Cobb is actually the one being "incepted" — called back to reality by someone who doesn't want to see him "become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone." Assuming the plan worked, he is free from regret over Mal's death, and Inception's final scene was not a dream, a sequel could feature a refreshed, reality-based Cobb taking on more extraction jobs against the wishes of his disapproving friends and family. (If Inception's final scene was a dream, though, Inception 2 could just be 150 minutes of Michael Caine shouting "Wake up!" in a sleeping Leonardo DiCaprio's ear.)

Inception 2: Unception
Owing to a clerical error, Cobb's team accidentally implants a guy with an idea meant for somebody else, so they have to go back in to convince him his previous dream was caused by some bad oysters.

Preception
How about a prequel? What was Cobb's job like back when he was single and before his nagging wife started turning up in dreams and ruining all the fun? Probably awesome: endless in-limbo keg-partying, threesomes with hot projections, etc.


i like the last part with endless threesomes with hot projections the best laugh.gif

in this movie, joseph gordon-levitt really reminds me of the late heath ledger..., nolan seeking a replacement for the joker in the upcoming batman movie?

he already said there will the no joker in batman 3, JGL is said to be possible candidate for the riddler.

now the possibility is stronger since nolan like to always continue working with the same actors.

wait a minute, how about batman 3 with JGL as the riddler and ellen page as catwomen??

Can someone explain the significance of Ariadne pulling the mirrors and then touching it, and then it breaks. And then it seems there is now a road with projections walking. I don't get this part.

As for Batman 3, I somehow believe JGL is going to have a part in it. "Riddler" perhaps.

she use the mirror to create a optical illusion of the long walkway and then create it in the dream.

I find it a little irritating that I could not watch this yesterday at Mid around 7pm onwards. Not that I can't make it for the 8.45pm movie, but the end time is not suitable.

However, I SEE TRUCKLOADS OF screening time for Predators and Eclipse (ECLIPSE DANGNABBIT!). WTF?

inception have longer run time resulting in fewer screening.

The 2.5hours still feel like an edge-of-the-seat-on-roller-coaster-ride experience to me!

I am now being incepted that any movie with simpler plot than this movie is considered an 'average' movie. tongue.gif
*
this is 2.5 hour movie with no good chance for toilet break, and for a summer blockbuster to ask so much of attention from the viewer for such long period of time is really extraordinary.

if this movie become a smash hit the studio will be encouraged to take more risk in green lighting more original idea with big budget.

Dude the action scenes just plain sucked!

Except the shifty-grav and zero-grav fight scenes. Those were good, especially the former, which will probably be as well remembered as bullet-time from The Matrix. It looked so unbelievably cool and fluid. But damn, it was short as hell, and after they actually 'drop' into one of the hotel rooms, Nolan's penchant for in-your-face editing and close-up shots of people punching each other surfaces, and it turned kinda sucky.
*
the zero gravity scene was the best wire effect i have ever seen, even in matrix you can see some of the movement looks very much like they are hanging from wire but not in this case. they even design cloth and shoe lace that will look like it is in zero gravity

Nice troll.

The fact that viewers continue to discuss the movie long after it ended -> it's a good film.

By your logic, Mulholland Drive is bad, Oldboy is bad, Donnie Darko is bad? Oh but wait, all three films are confusing yet they feature in many top movies of the decade lists!
*
for him i think 2001: A Space Odyssey will be the worst movie every. sweat.gif

now that is one confusing movie, with all the space for your imagination. there is all sort of theory about the movie, enough for books to be publish to try and explain what the movie is about and a dedicated wiki page

The fact is people discussing this becos are really not too sure what's with the movie and hope to get some review here..Juz like why i came here to see and realize alot dont understand every plot in it.

A great movie sends out clear and beautiful message that will leave value to your life.That is call a great movie.
Definitely not like this one..Bcos it piss you off from its draggy and meaning less plots during and after it.
What a smart arse director which make people wont watch his work ever again
*
many sci fi movie never reveal everything in they plot and thus allow viewer to work their brain and come out with their imagination, this is the good thing about sci fi that stimulate your mind instead of having the plot being explain to you in great detail.

for example

who is the space jockey in Alien

is deckard a replicant in blade runner

what is the monolith in 2001, and what the hell does the ending mean

why does the alien landed in district 9

Funny how people always take fiction way too seriously, but of course, everyone has the right to ponder the meaning of a work.

But sometimes, really, a work of fiction doesn't usually contain any other meaning that what the author and the reader (or in this case, viewer) ascribes to it.

It might be the case that Nolan has it all figured out in his mind. It might be that he has just worked up a story he himself doesn't know the meaning of.

If you've played Shadow of the Colossus (perhaps the only VG that can truly be called "art") you'd know that it has a head-scratching ending and the director of that game himself admitted he doesn't know what the ending means, and that it was up to you to interpret it yourself.

I suspect Kubrick himself didn't know what the ending of 2001 was (perhaps he did, but more likely he left it to the viewer to determine for themselves. As such there is no "true" meaning to the ending) unless you follow Arthur Clarke's novel.

So chill dudes.
*
the best explaination is Kubrick is high on LSD when making the ending.

lol which is why it could go both ways:

sedatives wear off, they suicide, then wake up for real

sedatives still on, they suicide, plummet into another limbo?

BTW, is there a definitive (aka 'brilliant') answer as to why Level 3 (Snow Fotress) they don't feel the effects of what Arthur did in Level 2 (Hotel) to the team?
*
there is no gravity at the time so when arthur move them they did not feel anything at the third level.
