INCEPTION

[AuburnChopper 3.0]

Definitely recommend.

Complex enough to be interesting, but not overbearing.  Totally (and refreshingly) original plot.  Leo is good as usual and the supporting cast does a great job as well.  Directed by the same guy that filmed The Dark Knight, and the style shows.

Great effects, that even though are outlandish, make sense once everything is explained.

I give it:

  's

...out of 4.

Agree.

This was a phenomenal movie.  Original plot, great acting, stunning visuals and some great action sequences as well.

Thoughts on the ending, Chop?

Spoilers to follow.....
















I think it's too tidy to think that he is given a pass back to the States to be with his kids.  The kids, if you notice, were the same age when he shows up with Michael Caine that they were in his memories....fishy.  So, is he existing in his own dream/limbo?  The top/totem falls, but he appropriated the wife's totem, so does that mean that he's now in his own dream?

I figured he made it back, but I'm not sure where the scene with the older Asian man plays in.  I took it that he managed to find him in Limbo (since he died in the dream at the compound), and asked him to keep his part of the deal so that he could go back.  This basically saves him, and the Asian man (explaining his surprised and almost alarmed look as he woke up on the plane). 

I think the film leaves some things open to interpretation.  Part of what makes it great. I was even debating going to see it again while I was on the road this week.

I'm definitely going to re-watch it.

I thought it sucked.  They should have just named it Titanic 2 just to be fitting.

















I kid, I haven't seen it, but it looks good.
