Inception
At least to me. Sounds very good, and I think it's nice to take a break from Gotham and work on another project.

Nolan's amazing, and this sounds like it could be very cool. It's probably some type of deal with WB where they're funding this project of his and he'll do the third movie afterwards. Or maybe not? We won't know for a couple years.

Christopher Nolan Directing Inception Next
Source: The Hollywood Reporter February 11, 2009


Christopher Nolan has set up his next project with Warner Bros., an original screenplay he wrote called Inception. The "Dark Knight" director hopes to shoot the sci-fi action film in the summer for a release during summer 2010.

Nolan will produce with partner Emma Thomas, who served as a producer on The Dark Knight.

"Chris Nolan is a visionary filmmaker who continually raises the bar with each movie he makes," Warner Bros. Pictures Group president Jeff Robinov said. "We are thrilled to be collaborating again with him and Emma on this exciting new motion picture."

Inception is described as "a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind."

This pushes back any potential filming on a third Batman film, but three years -- and The Prestige -- passed between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Nolan has also long been attached to direct a big-screen adaptation of the British TV series "The Prisoner" for producer Scott Stuber at Universal.

To be honest, I think this is a wise move. With The Dark Knight being so awesome, and the performance by Heath Ledger soaking up more praise than pretty much any other element of the movie, rushing in to do "Batman 3" could dry up excitement pretty fast.

I mean, it's going to be one hell of a challenge to make a movie better than The Dark Knight, and if it comes along too soon after The Dark Knight, I fear that people may begin to become immune to the awesomeness that is that series.

Christopher Nolan can do some awesome directing (maybe one or two movies) and Christian Bale some awesome acting, and then later they can meet up and do the third one, and people will be like "about fucking time!"

This is a big, fat "Duh". They should do the Batman thing every 3-4 years to keep it fresh. When you rush them, you get the crap movies from the first run. PLus, it keeps Nolan's head in a good place to keep the creativity top notch and doesn't bog a genius down.

Inception (SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY)
Just came home from seeing an early morning screening of this, and I have to say that I was sufficiently mind blown.

I can see why some people have taken issue with it, but I loved every minute of it. It takes you on a crazy ride that you just have to roll with. I've been thinking about it nonstop, and I definitely plan on seeing it again.

Movie of the year, and one of the best action movies I've seen in the last 5 years.

Definitely gets a bit overambitious at times, but it was so well constructed and brilliantly conceived that it really doesn't matter. Great great film making.

4.5/5 for me

The story is fantastic, very complex and layered; I will say that. The action sequences got to be a bit much at certain points but I guess it is an action/sci-fi movie. I still give it a 9/10. It doesn't get much better than that if you're talking summer blockbuster. One of the best directors of our time.

(SPOILERS - This thread got merged from another which had a spoiler warning in the title)

Almost never see movies multiple times in theaters, but I'm going again asap while it's still fresh in my head. Really loved that after seeing it, the whole movie felt like a bit of a dream itself. A few things that weren't quite right and deliberately couldn't make sense as it related to the story. Definitely pulls the rug out from under you.

Anyway, my take on the ending is that there is no possible way to know. I figured he just cut away to tease us a bit, but that it was implied he was in the main reality. Really no way of knowing for sure.

Didn't entirely follow where the opening scene occured in the timeline, but it seemed to be between Leo's death at the hands of Mal and his arrival in the US. BUT WHO THE FUCK KNOWS YA?

Great film. Thought there were some absolutely brilliant set pieces like the gravity loss bits and the city constructions / destructions.

Could see the bit with the totem at the end coming a mile off.

Tom Hardy will surely be a big star on the back of this. He was fantastic.

Completely agree with that.

I'm in the process of replacing all of the Nolan films i have on DVD with the Blu-Rays.

Can't wait to see what The Prestige looks like in High Definition.

Saw it late last night. I'm still in awe. This is so far away from the usual action popcorn garbage we get served up every year. Nothing else released this year can top Inception, in all categories.

I'm probably going to see it again today or tomorrow night. I have to see it again to try and understand everything fully.

I seriously love the ambiguity at the end. Especially since there is so much stuff sprinkled throughout the movie that makes it seem like his reality is a dream. For example, Cobb is never shown going anywhere, he just arrives.

Another great thing I was thinking about was that if it was a dream, it'd all be in Cobb's head, so why were the figments in the mark's head going after him... Then I realized that everytime someone went after Cobb in the mark's head, someone else was with him, so they could have been going after the mark, and not him.

Yeah the more I think about it, there was so much in the "main" reality that was off and dreamlike. The chase in Mombosa? Totally surreal. Then Saito just shows up out of nowhere? HMMMM

Starting to think the whole movie was similar to the "alt" timeline in Lost. It served to help Cobb let go of Mal, maybe explicitly by some unknown character (the whole thing was basically an "inception" into Cobb's mind, maybe with Ariadne as the main agent)

As soon as Cobb mentioned being stuck in crazy ass purgatory for a long ass time I figured the entire movie was his purgatory and Saito had figured out some way to get him out of it, hence their deal which was able to finally send Cobb home. I mean, in pretty much EVERY reality you had visuals of the kids with their backs turned and also of his wife. Dunno though.

Also consider that when Fischer dies in the 3rd tier, Cobb goes into the subconscious to pull him back out, but that level was actually Cobb's former "limbo" state. Why would Fischer be there? Doesn't that imply that Fischer himself is just a projection of Cobb's subconscious, and thus, everything that happened throughout the film?

SPOILERS

Yeah I was thinking that.

Also the movie begins abruptly, "in the middle" just like Cobb explained when he first introduced the architect to the concept of Inception. You never remember a dream from the beginning, you kind of just show up in the middle of the action.

Awesome movie. And the final scene was amazing. Entire audience was like "ughhhhhhh" when it cut to black.

Fuck, DiCaprio sure likes the the intense loner with emotional damage roles. Get the man into a comedy, ffs. Also, I'd watch Joseph Gordon Levitt read the phone book and probably be monstrously entertained. Most underrated actor going today.

Feel like I am going to be "in the minority" obviously but really didn't like this.

All of the dialogue felt "dreadful" to me. Cringed so many times during this movie. Eventually kinda started to almost completely lose interest. Kept daydreaming about having missionary position sex with Ellen Page for like 8% of the movie. Felt extremely bored for like 80% of the movie, and really liked about 12% of it.

I dunno what I was expecting though I guess. Kinda feel like I "should have known" what to expect (sci fi action movie with "snappy" comic book dialogue) but I dunno. I "loved" The Dark Knight in spite of that so kinda expected to like this as much, also considering that it is now #3 on imdb ( ).

I DUNNO whatever.

Yeah there were some bits of dialogue that had me cringing as well.

"NO IDEA IS SIMPLE WHEN YOU'RE PLANTING IT IN SOMEONE'S MIND!"

But the pure ingenuity and intricacy of the plot overshadowed all of its flaws for me. Just saw it again, and the final thirty minutes are absolutely brilliant. The way it is put together from a film making standpoint is just supreme.

Even if it doesn't explicitly imply that the story was an inception into Cobb's mind, the parallels to his inception on Fischer seemed deliberate. Through reaching deep into the subconscious, he was able to achieve his "catharsis" in the same way that Fischer did.

Also consider that Ellen Page was poking around in his subconscious the entire time, and it was eventually her that convinced him to dive into limbo. If she was in fact performing Inception on Cobb, she was using a very similar technique as Cobb was on Fischer (convince the subject to go there for other reasons)

Tom Hardy will surely be a big star on the back of this. He was fantastic.
I literally sat up and said 'fucking hell' at the gravity loss fight scene. Seriously. Probably the best cinema experience since Dark Knight for me. Well worth seeing.

Everybody let out a collective 'awwww' at the end. Haha can't remember anything like it.

Cast was phenomenal but I don't know how much was the actors and how much was the writing and the actual film itself but holy crap it was all amazing.

Really liked it, probably the most I've enjoyed a film this year. Didn't read much about it beforehand but mainly went to see it because of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Was even happier when Tom Hardy showed up.

Good movie

I do kind of want to see it again. Also Ellen Page didn't bother me in this, because she usually does. She looked good in the Hotel part to.

SPOILER: show
I think Leo is still trapped in limbo. You never saw them taking the sedatives out of them in the plane, and then later Micahael Caine and Leo just appeared at the house.

Also is it possible there there is only one limbo, and therefore making it possible for Saito and Leo to meet up in limbo?

Another thing is why didn't everyone wake up from the 1st layer when they hit the water. Shouldn't they have woken up on the plane without ever having to swim out of the car?

Ellen Page is fucking ugly. I bet Leo refused to do the movie unless she wore a Mila Kunis mask when not shooting.

I have to see it again because i fell asleep through half of it.... not because it was boring but because i was so fucking tired. ANYWAY i think that this is one of those movies that if you say you didnt like it, then people will say its because you were not smart enough to understand it.
