BUMP

First set of reviews are out. I've yet to see a negative review. Lowest score I've seen is 7/10. Highest score is 10/10. One writer calls Inception a masterpiece with DiCaprio delivering the performance of his career which is high praise considering he's acted in Aviator and Shutter Island.

IGN are a shit site. I wouldn't read their reviews if anyone paid me too. I like In Contention's review. And one more thing, f*** Variety. f*** them to kingdom come.

why? this film need to at least get back its budget+promo budget, a 18 or 21 rating will limit the amount of viewers who are able to watch it

I did.

The line was all the way to Carl's Jr and that's saying quite a bit if you've been to Mid Valley.

As for the movie, I don't know how to tell anything about it without spoiling the film.

To anyone who's unprepared, do watch closely for the 'layers' of dreams and the ending (describes how I felt about the ending but if you click on it, you may expect what to expect already so depends on if you want to click ->)

Well, there are a few things that I want to confirm tonight but I thought it was easy enough to follow for me. The characters always explained what they were doing before they did.

I think the film is too obsessed with plot dynamics and details, and moves at too fast a pace, it's crammed too full with cold mechanics and leaves no space for reflection and emotions. I'm afraid to say even by now only the first hour of the film really sticks in my mind, together with a few notable scenes in the second half. The plot is impeccable plotted, in a cold sense. It's so intricate that I doubt there will be any holes.

Even Nolan fans have to admit he really isn't the best man for shooting action scenes. Face it, the shootout on the snowy mountain was quite a drag, wasn't it? Clearly inspired by James Bond, but while watching I couldn't help but notice not just how poor it was, but also how unnecessary it was. The shifting-gravity sequence though.... that was just friggin awesome (and short sad.gif)!

Not to say I dont recommend it, definitely go watch it, just saying I'm a bit disappointed. Hopefully my second viewing will be much better. Changing my mind after a few viewings isn't uncommon for me.

I disagree. I like Nolan's clumsy action scenes. It makes it look more organic to me. But yes, I do agree the zero gravity sequence could have been one long stretch rather than having it intersect with third layer and forth layer. Joseph Gordon Levitt's physical acting sold it for me.

And I have to say, I didn't feel the movie was too fast or anything. If you missed something or got confused, then obviously you need catching up to do and do your revision (re-watch tongue.gif) but there have been many people who got it the first time.

But of course, I'll need another two screenings to digest everything as well tongue.gif But that's my interpretation after the first screening.

Organic? Well the gravity-shifting scene was fluid. Looked really good. But that whole scene on top of the mountains? No. Perhaps he's better at doing conceptual action scenes, but he does so very suck at conventional shootouts. tongue.gif

Btw, I like your ending.
*
What was wrong with the action scene at the mountain? Admittedly, I got frustrated with the wave of enemies which made it feel like Uncharted 2 (a PS3 video game if you're not familiar) but I didn't feel like it spoilt the film.

Interestingly, thanks to a link from mgsrulz, I found out that the music from the trailer was from Uncharted 1. If Nolan could direct an Uncharted film.... drool.gif

What is your ending btw? I thought you'd like this since I thought this and Shutter Island had quite a lot in common regarding what is real and not but obviously, I was wrong. laugh.gif

Good movie. I don't believe why some might be bothered it's too high concept. it's really fairly easy, done in Nolan's way. don't worry, It's not too complex smile.gif

Go ahead, it's worth the ticket. ( here me planting the the idea ) tongue.gif

That's still a spoiler tongue.gif

That depends on your interpretation of the film. tongue.gif

One day, one of us will watch the film enough times to get the real ending. xD

The god speaks in the form of JGL.

Seems from what the cast member speaks of Nolan, he seems like the second Hitchcock. The stories they tell about him and the jokes. D:

I am not sure what you mean but if you mean by unhooking, you wake up, then I strongly believe that isn't the case.

So according to you, why or how did they wake up? Sorry but I have no idea what you're trying to say. Perhaps if you could give your own interpretation on the ending?

*Sorry but I love the film to bits. It's been the first film in a long while that has engaged me enough to discuss the film across SEVEN movie forum sites.*

For Shutter Island (the film), it's not ambiguous at all. The 'is it better to be live a monster or die a good man' was a key give away. And if that is not enough, on the BD version, Scorsese and DiCaprio SAID the same thing on the extra.
