Yeah, a nice clean theater... That's why I always go up the hill to PV to watch movies. Victory! Peace!


I doubt it gets much cleaner than that.

I think this film in IMAX would be overwhelming/intimidating, considering some of the special effects involved... I'd probably get nauseous. Sweat


I might throw my popcorn around so people feel that palpable "4D" experience. Beaten

Considering the price of the snacks at the theater, I'd save and savor every popcorn kernel. Sweat

I'd sneak in my own snacks, but I don't know how I'd get a microwave past the ushers. Beaten

Seriously. That's why I am the fence about watching it in IMAX, the huge IMAX screened theater at the Promenade @ Howard Hughes Parkway is charging about 17 dollars for an IMAX showing. That's quite a lot! They've raised their prices.

They need a self-inflating bag like those life rafts

That'd be cool: self-popping popcorn.... A million-dollar idea. Victory! Peace!

Back from watching Inception a couple of hours ago... Wild movie. Victory! Peace!

It's like a mix of The Matrix and Mission Impossible. Applaud

It's rather confusing if you don't pay complete attention all the time and even then the movie has you wondering... I kept thinking about the movie (and the ending) throughout my entire drive back home... Very thought provoking.

The movie's almost 2-1/2 hours long, but it never dragged.

Highly recommended. Victory! Peace!

Like The Matrix, this movie always has you thinking what's real and what's a dream... Perplexing at times. Nut

Oh good, I was hoping it would be something like that. Victory! Peace! I'll have to go see it.

Yeah, I saw it last night. I also thought of the Matrix as I watched it. That ending...It's one you discuss on the drive home. Mr Green

I'm also recommending this film. Victory! Peace!

DiCaprio is having a good year, both movies have been great.

It's a fascinating concept... But like anything, it can be subject to misuse and abuse.

I'm sure there have been other movies exploring dreams, but none that come to mind.

The one with Jennifer Lopez in the mind of a serial killer?

Didn't care for that flick at all... Actually, most films about serial killers are a turn-off for me... Too much of the dark side of human nature for me. Sweat

Ya know, other than the initial reaction to the film once it started, I didn't find it that confusing to understand. In fact, I found some of the explanations doubtful.

That being said, it was a grand film. I loved the concept, and the movie had quite a few "wow" scenes. My favourite has it be:
Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:


I loved the idea of the wife and what they did to that character. Lots of growth and depth there, which is surprising since we don't see this in high special effects films.

O, and for the record:

I'm sure the DVD release will have a segment on how they achieved that effect. Victory! Peace!

I've seen it before in other movies/shows: Royal Wedding (with Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) and the recent Ueno Juri to Itsutsu no Kaban... Smile

I thought long and hard about it on the drive home from the theater, but I couldn't convince myself one way or another. Sweat

Without a doubt, it's the best movie I've seen this year. Victory! Peace!
