Great movie. Go see it.
FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!
Lack of information. I disapprove.
It is on par with The Matrix. Now shut the hell up and go see it.

Rage Against the Machine. :D
Also, more info would be helpful. I've only seen the first Matrix movie, so I'm afraid I can't base it off of that. =/
"First" Matrix movie? You are talking as if there have been sequels, lol.
I'll check it out, winkio.

Indeed.
Also, I never even managed to get through the first half of matrix 2.
There is no Matrix 2.
I liked the other movies, but the original was definitely the best.
There is no other Matrix movie. There is a rumor of 2 movies that have been made, but they do not resemble Matrix in almoat any way except for the names of the characters. It is physically not possible to drop so far in the level of entertainment so those two movies cannot possibly be Matrix movies.

I must agree with him on this.
Everybody likes to get on the exaggeration bandwagon.
Seriously though, Inception is so good that I would pay to go back and see it again, right now.
I might watch it. I wasn't really too impressed by the trailer myself. Maybe I'll watch a bootleg and if I like it enough I'll watch it in theaters.

Qft.
Already seen it twice. For me it's better than the matrix, insofar as they are sort of similar.
Off topic:
Then again was not as big of a fan of the matrix as most people, with all the religious and philosophical imagery that they threw in there it didn't jive as well. Then there's Keanu.
As I said, I'll check it out. I could get together a few friends and we can go watch it together. :)
I dont really see what does this movie have to do with matrix... the slowmotion
isnt actually a slow motion in this movie.. its something about controlling dreams or something like that o-o
so they are just floating.. lmfao.
Wow, did you just insult the Matrix and your own intelligence at the same time?
The Matrix is about reality and the mind, not about special effects. Inception is also about reality and the mind. They approach it from different angles, but the movies have many similarities.
Saw it, its probably one of the best movies to come out in recent years. The story was gripping and amazingly thought out. The special effects were amazing, and they didn't go overboard with the CGI. And the action sequences were intense. Everyone should see this movie.

I disagree with your opinion and would like you to revise it.

it's definitely the best movie out right now, but it's still not "great" or anything like The Matrix beyond the questioning of reality. and it
was rather inspired.
I agree. It was better than the Matrix and a very different plot.
But I think you're underselling how good it was.
Watched it. Great movie. The cliffhanger killed me. xD But it was the dot on the I.
Haven't seen a good movie like this in a while. Was totally worth my time and money. <3
I was thinking about it and it seems to me if you consider the hints in the movie you can determine that the movie ends with one possibility. Or could be that Chris Nolan didn't consider the parts I'm thinking of (though he's been writing it for about 10 (?) years).
Actually you're wrong.
You can't know the ending of the movie. He could still be sleeping at Yusuf's place. Remember when he tried his sedatives and woke up in a shock? He ran to the bathroom and wanted to test his totem but got interrupted. At the end of the movie, he could still be at Yusuf's place. Before that event he did test his totem once and it wasn't a dream. But after recruiting Yusuf he never checked on his totem again until the very end of the movie.
Well here's my take on it...
Warning, if you haven't watch the movie yet this may ruin it:
Actually when he got distracted the totem fell to the floor, he came back to pick it up and it wasn't spinning. What I'm talking about are all those dream scenes where he remembers his kids. The kids always behave the same, always look the same age, wear the same clothes. At the end of the movie that same scene replays it self as he remembered it. Seem suspicious?
I think he and probably Yusuf never returned from limbo at the end. The scene where they are trying to remember their past doesn't play out to the end. So at the end it seems to me he is still dreaming. The good side to that is he forgets about the top, he accepts it as reality without question. He may forget about the top completely and let it disappear since it is a dream.
If the top is the Totem, then the whole thing is Mol's dream. You know, the wife's. Which would bring into question EVERYTHING.
I don't think it's the age of the kids since I think that not much time passed since the incident, though, I don't remember if that was mentioned. But that explanation seems plausible to me.
@Ulta: At one point early in the movie, he spins it and it falls. So that one wasn't a dream.
I meant at the end; the ending is the big thing everyone's all goin' on about. If the top does or doesn't fall. It's confusing to me 'cause when he first spins it it looks like its about to fall over, then when we go back to it its upright again. The top was Mal's(official spelling from the credits) totem; if it doesn't then the end, at least, is Mal's dream. Meaning somehow she's alive or something, so forgetting the whole part where he spun a top earlier, the dream he was in at the end would have Mal as the architect. Which, as I said, opens up a myriad of questions. Or brings into quesiton the entire movie.
I'm not sure but I think when they got on the topic of the totems, he said it was Mol's idea. They create the totems in the waking world and their symbols transfer over into the dream. So the top being in the movie doesn't necessarily mean it's her dream, but that he made use of it after she was gone.
Just to add my thoughts: if you haven't seen someone for a while you generally remember them as you've last seen them. It's only after you see them again that you're surprised at how much they've changed. I don't think they mention in the movie how long he's been exiled, but the conversations he has with his partner and father make it seem like a while (possibly years).
If you're trying to work out theories I really recommend:
http://www.reelmovienews.com/2010/07/what-did-it-mean-the-ending-of-inception-explained/comments-2.html
It has literally hundreds, I've read them all lol I thought I had a good theory going until i read someone saying
'ever stop to consider the spinning top totem is mel's and the kids are his?'
Which thre me completely into 'damn so it COULD still be a dream'.
Because I was thinking, having a spinning totem is stupid. Everyone knows it falls. He says it just keeps spinning if hes dreaming'. We never saw proof of this. We only ever see it fall over. Which leads me to believe, the totem migth actually play very little in the entire story'.
My absolute fav theory is this
He's asleep on the plane. The entire movie is all in his head. This can be supported because the people in the film could have been projections of his subconscious because they were the last people he saw. The whole film is just him trying to get over his wife, hence he's the only character with real depth. All the rest are just their helping him.
