Saw Inception tonight

A rather smart play on questioning reality, with some clever twists. It didn't quite have the wow factor of seeing The Matrix for the first time, but it had more character development and a more complex plot. This is a clever movie with some action, not an action movie with a clever premise. It is a movie you need to pay attention to understand though, there are several levels to this onion, and they move back and forth a lot. They kept their fictional technology pretty internally consistent, and it makes a little of sense, which greatly helps this sort of movie. There was one huge gaping hole with gravity, but other then that it works. The ending is a bit predictable, but it fits the movie very well. Jay

So there is nothing here that will decay with age the way special effects epics do. Plus, the movie is complex enough that it should be interesting to see several times. Jay

Center row, slightly lower then center seats. I saw no preview and read nothing about it. I even refused to read your post, I had no idea what it was about, I just trusted the people who recommended it. I prefer my "holy shit!" moments to be without preconceived notions. The boy and I discussed the internal consistencies across the layers, and yeah, I'm a bit iffy on 3rd level gravity under 1st and 2nd level free fall. But then again, the time differential combined with micro-acceleration of the dreamers (as they breath move while breathing, nah, then they'd be oscillating slowly) may be tortured to account for it, dunno. We will be going back to see it. Not sure if it is a Matrix level keeper (I have the Matrix blueray set), but they will be getting more money out of us in a additional viewings. This one wants a BIG screen and a POWERFUL sound system. Edited by crazy Aug. 2, 2010, 11:29:07 AM EDT Expand All History
