Last week I went to see Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio. I was really biased against Leonardo from titanic, but after watching several excellent films by him: Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island (okay not amazing), now Inception.

The movie is smart, witty and action packeted with a self consistency and creative storyline to support the amazing circumstances it portrays. Critiques - too long by 20 to 30 minutes or so. Yet, I don't begrudge the $8 (Tues night) admission fee. A great adventure, visual feast and enough adrenaline to keep the ticker pumping.

The movie does seem to heavily borrow concepts from Dreamscape an old and somewhat uninspirational Sci-fi film about dream assassins. However, they clearly disengage from the stereotypical 'if you die in your dreams you die in life' cliche centralized in the above as well as in the Matrix series. Sometimes you feel a bit overwhelmed by the intricate complexities of the plots, yet the world they produce and the self consistent rules they generate for their world is intelligent and fascinating fodder. Lots of eye candy, action and terrific landscapes.

Highly recommended.

Two nights ago, I saw Salt with my wife. Its pretty crappy and they somehow seemed to even make Mrs. Jolee non-hot -how the hell do you do that??? They did!!! Go see Inception instead!
 
Thanks for the mini-review, I am looking forward to watching this one.
 
I love it as well. Has to be one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Speaking of Shutter Island, I watched it the week before I saw Inception and was struck by similarities in the plot lines. Not a terrible thing but interesting. No spoilers though, see it for yourself:D
 
Jolie's losing her hotness because her 90 kids are making her lose her mind. We all know stress contributes to premature aging.


I agree. Astounding movie. I already made sure to comment on it in the "Movies That Blew Your Mind" thread. :D
 
Gonna go see it a second time today. I and a neighbor went to see it last week, my sons want to see it, so off we go this afternoon. I really liked it the first time around, I anticipate enjoying it just as much this time.
 
Definitely a two time watcher. Saw it two nights ago and had no idea what was going on until about 20 minutes in. The cast is outstanding, though I wish they'd have given a bit of background on the entire team. They seem to be pretty high speed for every day blokes... it would have added a bit more consistency and believability to the events.
