I saw a screening of this movie last night. The theater has over 300 people waiting in line to see this movie. The movie was downright boring. The special graphics were not that great. It is a long movie being 2 hours and 28 minutes. I found it to be a copy of the 1984 movie Dreamscape where they would go into your dreams and fight and do all sorts of things. Hey, Inception has the same plot, they go into your dreams and fight and plant things in your mind. Leo appeared overweight and some of the people I was with thought it was actually Jack Black when he had that dopey look on his face.
Overall: The acting was poor to fair. The plot was a copy of a past movie. The special effects looked like they did it with mirrors and computer cut and paste. I would not expect this movie to do well. Hopefully Cyrus will be better. I'm seeing it tomorrow.
Two thunbs down.
im sorry, but you are just flat out WRONG. the acting in this movie was phenomenal and leo really is one of the best actors that are around in hollywood.
also he did not appear fat at all, he has in general filled out as he has gotten older. lookis like jack black? yea ... again, flat out wrong.
movie owned too
Just saw the movie. Hadn't been to a theater in over an year but I went for this because it had Leo and Nolan associated with it. Didn't watch any of the trailers, didn't even look at any posters; all I knew was that it was a sci-fi movie and early reviews were outstanding.
I loved how there is no mumbo-jumbo explanation for how it all works ('tapping' into dreams, extraction, getting trained for subconscious defense against extraction etc.) The movie expects the audience is smart enough to just roll with it. And it worked really well. It could have gotten really confusing but it didn't. Excellent editing, no doubt about it. Not quite the cinematic experience that The Dark Knight was (that movie's production values, acting and score were impeccable) but I was engrossed throughout.
9.5/10
I'm not going to read this thread for fear of spoilers, but I have a quick question.
Has anyone seen this in Imax? Is it worth it? I have a theater 10 minutes from my house so if it's worth the extra $4 I'll do it seeing as how this and the Expendables are the only movies left on my summer watch list.
First movie I've actually seen in theaters in a long time, and it didn't disappoint. The ending was awesome...you could just feel the tension building in the theater waiting for it to fall...and then the whole theater's disappointed sigh
Why are people having a hard time with the Asian old Guy at the beginning and the end? Its the same scene. They start with part of the clip at the beginning that goes with the actual end.
There was no point that I felt lost and loved the ending.
Excellent movie. Easily the best I've seen in the last year, maybe two.
Actually, it was a very bad scene. Watanabe's character grew to look like 1000 years old. And he didn't even look Asian anymore.
Leo's character got some gray hairs and his face looked basically the same.
That was a huge WTH oversight moment when I was watching it.

i could be wrong, but i dont remember them showing leo or his wifes face when they were old. i just remember them showing them holding hands from behind and nothing more.
He spent more time in limbo since he died. I assume that means he would age more based on what they said about limbo earlier on in the movie.
