R Black Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Just returned from the flicks, film of choice tonight was Inception. Well we usually leave cinemas feeling very underwelmed, but on this occasion i was pleasantly impressed. For a film hailed the new matrix i expected it to flop as something vaguely similar had been done well previously, but this film stands solidly on its own feet extremely well, its essential viewing imo.

Ric Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 going to see this tonight, im very excited, which is strange to be excited about a film in this day and age as they are usually shite, im hoping for some technical excellence in this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 We went to see it last night, and was pleasantly surprised, had similar expectations, but it didn't disappoint, lots of intertwined layers to keep the interest. We actually go to the cinema very very rarely, and it seems to me that the seats get more uncomfortable, the volume is far too loud, the picture leaves a lot to be desired, the adverts are even longer, and the floor is so sticky with spilt drinks you stick to it! We are now even more advocates of watching in the home on a large screen TV in bluray with surround sound, maybe we are just getting old:tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 @ Ric The plots a twister so it is not all about special effects, my girlfriend was quiet for once while watching it, as she was thinking through it to keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I watched it last night too. I saw the trailer and thought that it does look very good, but I'm not keen on Dicaprio and I'm certainly not going to like it if it follows a matrix style concept (don't get me wrong - I love the matrix - it's just not unique anymore), but it didn't! I don't get confused by many films unlike many people. I seem to understand the most complex of films first time round and Inception was so close to confusing me. And as confused as you may be by my post, I loved the film. I thought it was genuinely brilliant and the whole concept of it was just amazing and unique in it's own way. I was very surprised by this. My girlfriend on the other hand is not a thinker and fell asleep half way through. Unfortunately on my arm giving me a dead arm the whole night as I didn't want to move. I recommend this film to everyone who is able to keep up with a complex plot and not start asking questions from the start! Convincing: And just to top things off IMDB has a rating currently set of 9.3/10 as the 83rd best film made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Do people actually get confused by film plots? in most cases i can usually predict the next scene and the outcome, i thought it was because film plots where pretty weak and predictable these days?

Dr_Doom Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I went to watch this at the cinema last night and really enjoyed it! Well worth a watch! Quite a complex storyline but very well directed so it was easily understandable. Quite a long film but i didn't get bored in the slightest Also, it's now at No.3 on IMDB's top 250 film list!

R Black Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Spoke to a chap in the post room yesterday who fell asleep through it, and was'nt overly Impressed, any others think it was poor? Also a friend said the reviews were poor, I've not read any is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I've not seen any bad reviews. IMDB says its the 3rd best film ever made (calculations from users reviews and votes). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/ Collider gave it an A. http://www.collider.com/2010/07/16/inception-review-christopher-nolan-leonardo-dicaprio/ Telegraph came up with a different review: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmreviews/7892057/Inception-review.html But I think it will vary between many people. You will either get people who fell asleep (probably because they were unable to cope with all the stuff thats going on) or people who absolutely loved the film. There doesn't seem to be anything in between as far I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
