Man, my cousin spoiled a bit of story yesterday. Seriously I wanted to knock him out for that. All I hope now is that I'll forget a bit when I'll watch movie!

watched it the other day and wasn't really impressed, sure, the plot was interesting at first, but later on it just became a pointless exercise in visual effects and meaningless (shooting) action, none of the events or characters (except the lead one) were defined beyond the superficial and the acting was definitely not something one would remember as even above average - to see it land at nr.4 of the imdb all-time best rated movies is just pathetic as there are definitely many, many better movies than this one - it may as well be a sign of declining standards in film-making (the optimistic view)
furthermore, this is one of those movies where one gets a glimpse of the future-to-come or wishful-thinking, stating explicitly that 'your mind is the scene of the crime', connecting with the previous movies with such a theme of abusing people's minds, like in the matrix (continuous virtual reality as substitute for living experiences) or minority report (thought crimes), not to mention that the actual criminals in this movie get to be rewarded for their 'mental intrusion' and the corporations running these operations making their own rules as they please (as they already do nowadays), so it could just as well fit in the category of predictive programming for the future

That's what is happening. In my opinion, there's nothing anyone can do, there are no plots without the usual clichés. Unless, another war brings new plots, who knows, there might be one soon
PS. I suggest you make an account in IMDB (if you haven't got one already) and start voting for the movies. I've already suggested a movie critic career for you but you had strong views on that as I remeber, this isn't the same. You can write a review and no one can discuss it with you, they can only say if it was helpful or not.
the number of votes in such a short period of time shows the extent of its hyped nature, as for being early i'd disagree, as 200,000+ votes should definitely be representative enough for the long term trends, meaning it won't fluctuate much - but then again, since the imdb scores are highly likely the result of manipulations it doesn't really matter how people vote as some titles will remain favored regardless of the actual statistics
it doesn't matter, a good movie will be the one the viewer likes to watch (tends to admire/respect and so on), for whatever reason - even though most of the really original ideas have already been used, there will still be occasional quality variations - the problem nowadays is that the established directors/actors don't seem to live up to their former 'glory' and the newer generations aren't as skilled/dedicated/enthusiastic as the ones before them, though these trends are paralleled with the societal ones as well, feeding from each other and sharing a similar development
as for the imdb account issue, it is already partially explained above, suffice it to add that the occasional short sbi 'reviews'/opinions are as far as i intend to go
i'll wait for remuxes to appear.. BD is dated for dec 7 release so hardly a month left :)
I've seen it twice. Really impressive, especially the great perfomance of Leonardo. This year his <Shutter Island> is also fantastic~~~
Finally DVD it's out,waited for a long time.This weekend i will watch afther 2 redbull's because u have 2 be concetrate!
x9wave, lol, you serious?
YOCO : Joking,but if im tired im not gonna watch it because iz heavy & i dont have pacient or im thinking of different things!Someone told me that have'd see Inception twice to understand it ...I dont know when HD it's cooming out,but dvd quality work's 4 me :)
@ x9wave
You don't have to watch it twice, if you pay enough attention while watching it first time. I thought Memento was more confusing than this.
btw, Blu-Ray will release on 7 Dec.
Agree with the post above. Maybe you don't get it completely everything the first time, but it should be enough to know what's happening.
And Memento really is confusing! I should watch it again
I have'd seem him yesterday night.Good movie...They have stole a little bit from Matrix the idea of the dreams.I dind't understand at the end the last's minutes when it's have'd turn back or was another dream !!!!Because they dont show what the chinese guy make'd with the gun.They show only that his take the gun...but he shot him or not?
It's not Chinese guy, It's Japanese guy
I watched it yesterday
Awesome movie,some ideas were taken in my opinion from Matrix The Matrix (1999) - IMDb and Paprika Paprika (2006) - IMDb
Well looks like Nolan's movies are getting better
I liked it ,I'm thinking in watch this movie again too
