Inception Rotten Tomatoes' Webpage

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

Kidnapping? He's their grandfather. He's their closest relative next to Cobb.

Yes that was a darn good movie. Incredible.

And yes the totem was starting to wobble. I can't see how anyone can deny that point.

The movie is worth another look, plus i didn't see it on IMAX.

The ending song should have been Dream Police by Cheap Trick.

Question: Why did Cillian Murphey have his mind protected?

Did he really not want to know what his dad said?

Plus i didn't quite understand what his dad said anyway. Something about disappointed.

Just saw it today. I think thing the top level of reality in the movie was still a dream, and began thinking so about 1/3 of the way through the movie. "Reality" just had too many improbable things going on: the dream machine; the method of connection to the body was very ambiguous (just like it would be in a dream; the improbable story about him not being able to come home that could be fixed by a phone call; his ability to run from guys with guns when he went to meet the con man; the improbable motivation of the powerful businessman. The whole thing felt much more like a dream than reality.

Exactly what I thought as well. And I still don't see why this movie is so amazing? It was fun, and made you think...but it just didn't do it for me as far as one of the elite movies I've ever seen. It was good, but great movies make me want to talk about them the next day. This one didn't.

I think we're meant to understand that in this world many high powered people have their minds protected. What DiCap & Co are doing is not some fringe, underground thing that no one knows about. Corporations are employing these men, and have been for a while at least, to get inside their competition's heads and steal secrets. I'm guessing most high end execs have had their minds protected.

That's what I got anyway. But I only saw it once and that was when it first came out.

I was pretty disappointed as well. I was expecting to be blown away like the first time I saw The Matrix, and it didn't really come close to that.

I think I like Inception more than The Matrix. But I can see why one would prefer the latter.

When Cobb called them towards the beginning of the movie, wasn't there a stern-sounding female voice on the line that told them they needed to get off the call? Maybe Mal's mother has custody of the kids and grudgingly allows him to call every once in a while, but wouldn't let Michael Caine take them out of the country.

Of course, I could be completely mis-remembering that scene.

I saw it last night on an IMAX screen. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A level of complexity to go along with solid action and acting IMO. I really like the cast across the board. I don't have any additional insight beyond what's already been said. Most relevant point thus far in the discussion to me were the comments about his accepting the end as his reality, regardless whether the top stopped spinning. Allowing himself to see his children's faces and "be" in that moment was key.

That's certainly on you, bro, and not the movie.

I think we're just supposed to accept the fact that the machines are real and that is how they work in that world.

Just watched the Blu-Ray, excellent picture. Am I the only one that thought this movie was a steaming pile of shit?
