Inception

Archive: 42 posts

Ok I have not seen this film, but I definitely want too, it looks absolutely amazing, it is already very highly rated at imdb.

Those of you who have seen it, and I know some of you have from the 'last movie you watched' thread.

Those who have not heard of it (???):
Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

How amazing was it (bias question )?

It's awesome. Go and see it nao!

In fairness, there were a number of plot holes, which is a shame because it's the kind of film that begs to be over-analysed, but overall it's a very good film.		2010-07-19 11:36:00

You didn't know that already?

Inception is up there with the best films I've seen this year. The concept is great and some of the special effects are amazing! I'm really liking Christopher Nolan as a director so I need to get round to seeing Memento and Insomnia (What's with all the one word films? ).		2010-07-20 15:51:00

I had quite a good time. I have to be honest, I'm a little bit disappointed because my expectations were through the roof. I was hoping for "instant action classic" along the lines of The Matrix or The Dark Knight, and I really don't think it is, but it was a fun, ridiculous frolic nonetheless.

now for spoilers!

Just wanted to mention a couple of parts where I inappropriately laughed out loud, all by my lonesome, in the theater. One was when Ken Watanabe says something along the lines of "I want to have the world's top energy company." I laughed because I knew the second he said it that this completely ridiculous sentence was the entire skeleton around which the whole plot is built. All the crazy stuff that happens, all the shoot-outs, chase scenes, crumbling cities and storms, all of it comes down to that sentence. "I want to have the world's top energy company."

Another big laugh I had was during the ski-doo chase sequence. This is where things just got too ridiculous to me. Suddenly we're just in a James Bond action scene, with guys on skis with white guns shooting at the good guys? For no particular reason than "why not"? And the whole time I wanted to ask one of the characters, "whoa, whoa. Why are you doing this? Why are you flying around a mountain fighting soldiers on military ski-doos?" Because I knew what the answer was. "We have to convince this guy that his dad really loved him, so he'll sell the company! Ah, look out!" *explosion*

Seriously, Chris Nolan? Seriouslies?? I think we're really getting some insight into what Chris Nolan sees when he closes his eyes. Here he has a movie about dreams. There's a sequence where DiCaprio has to convince Ellen Page that she's inside his dream. So he can do anything here. The storyteller can be as imaginative as he wants, he can do ANYTHING IN THE WORLD. What does he do? Everything explodes. Chris Nolan has testosterone COURSING THROUGH HIS VEINS. Look at the love interest in the movie! The whole time she's a monster, anytime she shows up she's destructive, has a gun, is trying to ruin everything the protagonists have worked toward. Everything that has to do with navigating the maze of the mind involves explosions and destruction, the "kicks".

Anyway, the major set-piece, the long "inception" sequence really amounted to a really cool heist. It felt just like a bank heist thriller, but with a pretty cool twist. I thought they did a great job of taking a complicated concept and tying it down enough to make it easily followable. They had a ton of opportunities to confuse and disorient you with the feeling of "is this part real or a dream?", but they never capitalized on that, because that wasn't the story they wanted to tell. Anyone see ExistenZ? Similar, but that movie explicitly WANTS to disorient you. I think Inception wants to keep you grounded and tell a more straight-forward heist story. I enjoyed it as a decent action flick, but the level of testosterone in a story about dreams and the hidden layers of the human mind just was too ridiculous to me at times.

And what a cheeky ending. The whole audience just groaned. He's a cheeky one, that Chris Nolan.		2010-07-21 22:12:00

I haven't seen this yet and was tossing up whether or not to as I really have trouble handling more than a few minutes of Leonardo Di Caprio. Anyhow, I think I might see it based on what I've read here (even your spoilers, Teebonesy). I thought I'd just say that I did see Memento and that was a very, very clever and disturbing film. There's a lot of hype for Inception here at the moment and that usually means one of two things - 1. The movie is indeed worth the hype 2. It's a bomb and the company are going all out with PR trying to get bums on seats to recoup the projected losses. That is really the only time we see top actors out here in Australia promoting their movie - if it's a bit of a stinker. We all see them here and go "uh-oh..." Anyhow, sorry to diverge a bit. Keep discussing.... we were talking about Inception....2010-07-21 22:30:00

I don't think there's ever going to be another Matrix. Although if you watch it today, it's almost become a parody of itself. Still in my top 5.

And it's a summer blockbuster. Dreams aren't going to be subtle. Michael Bay has dreams too, you know. Terrible, terrible dreams. Of explosions.

Lastly, I thought Mal was terrifying.		2010-07-21 23:55:00

I sort of feel the same way... however.... I think I'm struggling with how I felt about this film. I went to bed EXTREMELY disappointed after I saw it. I think it might have been all the hype it received. 20 facebook posts telling me it's the BEST MOVIE EVER didn't exactly help. lol.

I didn't hate it by any means. But I didn't love it either. I was EXTREMELY entertained for the first 3/4 of it, and then extremely bored, then felt let down when it finally ended. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of something like the Matrix, either. One of the guys I went with told me how he had seen it the previous day and had to go back and see it again to see stuff he missed. I'm not sure I understand that though. I probably won't ever watch it again.

I think I might be wrong in this, though. I was very angry with myself. I really wanted to love it like everyone else and think it was the best movie ever. And like I said, for the first portion of it, it was a lot of fun. I thought it was going somewhere awesome, though, but it wasn't going where I thought it was.

I don't want to give anything away to anyone, so I'm trying to be vague.

Please no one kill me for feeling this way. Heck, I'm mad enough at myself for feeling this way. 		2010-07-22 11:56:00

Ha, you don't have to be self-loathing about having an opinion! Let those rip, as one might a gaseous emission. Others may think it foul, but their tastes need not be yours.

And more spoilers:

I agree, the farther along it got, the... well I don't want to say "worse", I'll just say "less good" it became. Dark Knight was sort of like this too. They should have saved the best stuff for the end, but the final sequence was pretty lame compared to the amazing stuff that came before.

It just bugs me that they're playing with such incredibly imaginative core material - dreams, sculpting dreams, dreams within dreams, "limbo"... and all they do with it is just make a fairly standard heist-thriller. The action sequences are actually quite boring. Again I want to bring up the entire final bit. They've built up "3 layers down" as being unstable. "Nobody's done that before, gone into a dream within a dream within a dream." You're thinking "ooh, what's it going to be?" ...A... military base on a snowy mountain... soldiers on ski-doos... are you freaking kidding me?!

I was pretty disappointed overall. I DID have fun during the major "heist" scene, at least in the earlier parts of it. Was very fun seeing things go wrong right away as they had to adjust the plan and try to keep it going. But it got a little tiresome to me when, by 2 hours in, the movie's idea of "dreamlike" seemed to be explosions and the occasional glimpse of children running around a corner.		2010-07-23 19:29:00

I haven't seen this, and have no intention to, but I'd like to share an actual FB convo between two of my friends.

"Think we'd understand it more if we were on pot?"
"Nah, we'd probably try to fly or something."
"Yeah, good point."		2010-07-23 19:37:00

It was a good movie but what kept it fro being great was as said before the plot holes. IF you saw it a second time it made sense but most people will only see it once since it seemed to go on and on and on. So it wasn't great or perfect but it was good.2010-07-23 20:30:00

I'm responding to some of Teebonesy's thoughts, so I'll wrap them in spoilers just in case:


I personally loved the more "realistic" dreamworld that Nolan created and I felt that it fit the context of the plot. They needed Fischer to believe this dream world is a real world, so the architect creates the most realistic world she can. Cobb even warns Ariadne when she starts creating and molding things mid dream that such actions will draw attention to them. So, it made perfect sense to me and provided for some rather interesting set pieces, that felt both real and yet unreal at the same time...if that makes any sense. For example, I was more impressed with Arthur's fight in the apartment hallway than I was with most of the crazy spectacle found in a film like Avatar and I think it was due to the "realistic" nature of it.

The military base also made perfect sense to me. Fischer had been "trained" to defend himself from Inception. In the first level, you get some guys with guns, but the deeper you go, the closer you get to his secrets, the larger his defense. So, a full scale Bond style siege on the snowy military base made perfect sense to me and actually seemed like something out of dream. Maybe it's because I find my dreams are very similar to those in the movie where I'm usually in a realistic place, but something (or someone) is slightly different or unusual.		2010-07-23 20:32:00

I hated the Bond scene. I couldn't figure out who was who so half the time I was gasping thinking they killed one of the main characters but really it was a boring dream guy.		2010-07-23 20:39:00

I think the filmmakers made some strong decisions, and I can't totally criticise them for them, because they were essentially right for THIS story - which happens to be an action heist thriller. That, I think, is really the beginning and end of it. There are some people out there praising it as one of the smartest action films of all time, or as a seminal brain-bender, or even a Fellini-esque treatise on dreams and creation... It's really none of these. It's a fun heist flick whose plot device and setting happens to be dreams.

So within that context, it makes far more sense to keep the dream settings grounded and realistic rather than unnecessarily surreal. I had a fun time, but was personally pretty disappointed by pretty much every action scene. Especially the extended shoot-outs and ski-doo chases. I felt like it just wasn't going anywhere. And it's not like the "bad guys" have any stake whatsoever. They're just faceless goons, "subconscious projections", "bad guys", with no motivation or stake in anything whatsoever. The Matrix had these in the forms of Agents, but they at least had Agent Smith, the most charismatic character in the entire movie, and the filmmakers were sure to give him one of the strongest and most interesting motivations in the entire story. When Neo and Smith face off, you really genuinely care - each of these characters has an intimate stake and has come a very long way. When Joseph Gordon-Levitt is fighting dream-goon-number-87 in the hallway while the gravity is flipping out (looking quite a bit like The Matrix in the process), you just don't give a **** because you know the good guy's going to do his thing, "nameless henchman" is going to disappear conveniently forever and we'll move on with the story.

One of my major beefs with the snowy bond scenario was that Ellen Page was the architect of all 3 layers. She built all three. That military base was supposed to be a believable dream within that one dude's head - the friend/brother/whatever of Cillian Murphy's dad. So she builds a hardcore snowy military base, easily-defendable? Hell, if you want to break it down, the idea was probably so they'd be remote and there wouldn't be intruders, but at that planning stage, they didn't know that Murphy's character had the defense training. Good thing they were dreamed up with some sweet weapons!

This brings up another issue. By that point, a few things were pretty firmly established. One being that Cillian Murphy knows he's dreaming. Two being that his subconscious fully knows they're in there. Thirdly and most importantly, Murphy was so doped up NOTHING was going to wake him up.
So why not go lucid-dreaming up in this? After all, THEIR TEAM built the dream, NOT him! They could dream up whatever they wanted by then. They could go full-on-Ellen-Page-mirrors-and-bridges. Perhaps at that point there was some convenient plot device to dispell this, but not that I remember.

Anyway... It's clear to me that a disorienting dream movie where you're never sure if you're in reality or a dream which fully explores the dreaming mind, is NOT what they were going for with this movie. It's quite simply a heist film that happens to play with dreams as a plot device. Within that context, it makes far more sense to make the settings pretty straight-forward.

Anyway, it was a good time. But I was somewhat disappointed overall, and there were those few moments of complete ridiculousness. eg, Mal being painted as a growling monster throughout the movie. By the time you finally learn her backstory with Cobb, you're too scared of her to give a crap because you're too afraid she's going to suddenly turn toward the camera to a loud scary music cue and present a stabbin' knife out of nowhere. Get that crazy woman away from me man!		2010-07-24 02:39:00

Well I went with no idea what I was even going to see, never heard of it, no expectations and I really enjoyed it!

I am not too critical of movies and it kept me entertained. The concept I liked too and um yeah some of Teebs points do make me think it could be perceived as complete nonsense BUT I refuse!		2010-07-24 03:22:00

I think this is why people want to see it a second time, to check out things they might've missed:
I'm just guessing, not stating facts, ok?

The ending implies that Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is still in a dream, my thoughts were why would he still be in a dream, what's to gain & who would gain anything from this? Well the world at large believed that Cobb killed his wife, Mal (Marion Cotillard), she had psychiatrists give her a clean bill of health & gave over a statement to her lawyer that Cobb was dangerous. So I'm thinking that Miles (Michael Caine), Mal's father, wanted to know for sure if Cobb was responsible for his daughter's death or not & if so then to what degree.
So from the very start of the film its all a dream taking place in Cobb's head, setting up Robert Fischer Jr (Cillian Murphy) & everything else was just the sort of elaborate scheme you would need to distract Cobb, who being in the dream invasion business himself would have too many guards up to fall for anything simple. Ariadne (Ellen Page), really didn't do much the whole time they were in Robert's head apart from getting Cobb to reveal the details of his wife's death & help him get over his wife's death. So maybe this is the Inception that the title of the movie refers to, the idea they were actually trying to plant in someone's head, Cobb's head, was that he should forgive himself for his wife's death.

Like I said this is just a theory of mine & a messy one at that, but the person I saw the movie with was also convinced that the whole thing was a dream too, that's why I think most people want to watch it again, to see if they spot anything revealing. What makes this film great for me is the layers of reality, what's real, what isn't & that anything's possible. I wasn't too big a fan of the Metal Gear Solid layer either but as a mind*****, the film is real effective.		2010-07-24 05:47:00

The top falters a bit if you look closely. This leaves the ending open to interpretation - Maybe, it eventually falls, and DiCaprio's just a really good... top-spinner?

As for the action sequences, while I found the hotel Zero-G fights completely awesome, the snow base part was kind of boring, I'll admit.


But all in all, this movie was much better than I expected and I am quite pleased.		2010-07-24 09:34:00

I saw the movie yesterday and liked it. Few thoughts:

I must admit going into the movie I had no idea what it was about, I was just hanging out with friends. But I do remember something.... the kid on the train that helped them, his clock was moving SLOWLY. After the dream plot elements were revealed to me, I knew that the whole thing was just another dream layer. Not to mention that when he talked to his kids on the phone we just saw the same memory / dream he always has. And Grandma just "shook her head" ... To me that must mean she wasn't even there. It's possible the kids never even existed.

But maybe the whole thing wasn't a dream layer. Maybe the ending sequence was just a sub-limbo he fell into since he couldn't escape from those other dreams.		2010-07-26 18:01:00

Hah, that's pretty funny. Guess he couldn't help but put a lid on it?
Yeah, the big thing I noticed is that it does wobble a bit just at the end, and before they really make it seem like a dream-top would spin perfectly and perfectly forever. still, a hilariously cheeky way to end the movie. The entire theater I was in was just groaning, it was such a tease.		2010-07-26 23:57:00

It was a good movie but what kept it fro being great was as said before the plot holes. IF you saw it a second time it made sense but most people will only see it once since it seemed to go on and on and on. So it wasn't great or perfect but it was good.

are you sure you saw the right film? Inception is awesome!!
and what plot holes?I followed it perfectly.		2010-08-09 17:50:00

Plot holes? I think you could probably fill a sinkhole with Inception's plot holes.

Just one funny example I just saw earlier today:

I saw it yesterday and I found it pretty good

Yes, okay, it's a bit complicated (mainly because of the 3 levels of dream, that I found really confusing), but everything else is excellent and very neat. The musics, the special effects, and the casting of course ! All the actors are outstanding and totally fit their character. Leonardo Dicaprio, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard,... I would've never thought of her for Mall's character, but she turned out to be really remarkable... and perfectly creepy !		2010-08-10 17:33:00

@Oddmania
Wasn't there 4 levels of dream at the end

I thought this movie was fantastic, really amazing! The soundtrack is seriously EPIC! Hans Zimmer has done it again
Just... listen to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xeHiTmx5AU)! (and all the other parts of the soundtrack from the related videos)
It didn't take too long to understand what really was happening, at the beginning I was confused but after that it made perfect sense to me.
I'll put the rest of the stuff into spoilers

Umm so yeah, one thing I happened to think of... why didn't the zero gravity apply to the third dream layer? Or all the other changes in gravity? That really doesn't make sense to me... but it doesn't really matter, it was amazing just as it was!
The ending is really confusing, but I believe he wasn't dreaming anymore, maybe because of what Donkey Show said that you can hear it fall, and also because the clothes of the children are different in the ending scene, although they were the same in all the dreams.
I really would want to see it again now but I don't think I will...		2010-08-10 17:58:00

I had seen few days ago..it was awesome one..this is incredible Movie, the scenery is the best..Christopher Nolan crafts another great film, but this time his best yet! One idea I have seen the new film in recent years. All films at the highest level. Smart, mind bending, incredibly amazing, amazing and fun from start to finish. I think it is one of those movies that you can see over and over and still find things that you didn't notice when you saw it before.2010-09-06 08:40:00

Finally saw this on DVD the other week.
I usually don't follow the hype, due to the fact that 99% of the time I walk away disappointed.
But for this one time in my life, I believed the hype.
I shall never do that again.

It had too many plot holes to distract me. :/
I was expecting Momento + lucid dream action, but got a heist (which I usually enjoy) + dream plot device.
Momento is way better imo.		2011-02-03 06:32:00
