Inception Rotten Tomatoes' Webpage

Consensus: Smart, innovative, and thrilling, Inception is that rare summer blockbuster that succeeds viscerally as well as intellectually.

This is why the movie was so amazing to me because the idea of dreaming on several levels is so familiar to me.

I've woken up from a dream while still dreaming on a few occasions, but I have never experienced the other stuff you described.

Wow. I'm missing out.

I have dreams within dreams all the time.

WTF is wrong with me? Not only do I rarely remember my dreams, but if I do remember something its vague at best.

Well, you probably sleep better than I do.

When I have dreams within dreams within dreams, I'm usually exhausted the next day.

Yep, the more vivid the dream the less rested I feel.

Just read your write up Dane.

I only saw this movie once, in the theaters. I didn't think the top started to wobble. Did it 100% without a doubt start to wobble?

Also that top spun for a long damn time even though it started wobbling. I'm not even going to guess whether it was real or a dream.

OOOPS, Nevermind.

I guess I need to see it again. I don't remember it well enough.

I was sitting here in disbelief thinking I was going crazy looking at that picture of the kids.

Shutter Island Spoilers in here

Spoiler!

here ya go

it did begin to wobble slightly. i thought the sound effect of wobbling was more pronounced than the top showed
here's the last frame of the movie

This isn't a puzzle.

For those you that are obsessing as to whether or not the final sequence was a "dream" or not, you're missing the entire message of the film:

Know when to move on.

Cobb had enough. He confronted his demons while executing the perfect heist. He's ready to move forward with his life and the tragedy of his wife's death is in his past.

This movie was amazing in so many different ways yet members here seems to be obsessing as to whether or not the final scene was "real".

The character's journey (in this case. Cobb) is really and truly all that matters.

I can't relate to all this dreaming talk. The downside of sleeping the way that I do is that I almost never dream.

Still loved the movie though. It's one of my inaugural bluray purchases.

Hanging from your feet in a catacomb?

What interested me most in the film is the fact that Leo's character uses his wife's totem.

How could he possibly know the original or "real" weight (unless he handled it in reality)?

Also, his kids don't age much.

All in all, he was happy where he was.
