Re: Inception

Intelligent, innovative and exciting, which Inception rare summer blockbuster that succeeds as well as viscerally intellectually.brain, Twister, to be sure. But the fact that the plot requires attention only increases the joy.

Man go's back to change something in the past for a different outcome in the future. It was Terminator with some spin or Bill & Ted's Adventure. Same man has some GF issues from the past that he has trouble dealing with (Strange Days). Man then gets the mission into trouble so has to resort to doing something that failed in the past (Blades of Glory & hundreds of other movies).

Actually all good points. I can see how this could be rehashed, but really what isn't anymore? Still thought this flick was very entertaining. FYI Strange Days is one of my all time favs. And good job on the new Heisenberg avatar

One of the things I admired most about the film is how it manages to coherently tell four stories at the same time - not an easy feat from a writer's standpoint. The fact that they were able to jump from dream area to dream area and not allow things to get too confusing and not bog down the rhythm of the movie is very impressive for a storyteller to pull off. There's very few directors that I think could pull off a juggle for multiple stories running concurrently.

Most movies set up their plots and subplots in a russian doll kind of set up, with the smallest subplot being around the middle or the climax of the movie, while the overall arching plot carries the movie pretty much from beginning to end. It's generally considered easier for audiences to follow and easier to script and shoot in order to sell the movie when it's being pitched to studios. Inception does have this set up but changes the timing of it to have them resolve themselves in a rhythm when climax after climax after climax hits all in a quick succession and makes each resolution impact uniquely and memorably in an editing method that isn't usually seen onscreen very often (unless the writers are lazy and don't know how to wrap up the film).

I also really liked it because it was one of the few summer movies that actually engaged me on a thinking level - it's not a movie that you almost instantly forget after you've walked out of the theater like Salt. Something like that coming out in the summer and managing to deliver on the high expectations I had for it earned a place on my top ten of the year for 2010.

Re: Inception

Watched this again on the weekend - got to say I liked it better second time around and understood the concept better with the layers. Someoone was certainly using more of his grey matter to create this
