It was bizarre, but nonetheless very enjoyable

Haven't seen it yet. Despite the good things I've heard I think it looks like a poor remake of The Matrix. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me?
I think the films are completely different and if you go to see it you need to go in with an open mind and not think of it as like The Matrix.
You also need to concentrate as it is very easy to lose the plot of the film.
The ending was brilliant, such a cliffhanger.

Hmm, fair enough. Might go see it tomorrow then, it's been a while since I've been to the Cinema.
It's well worth a watch mate trust me, best film of the year.
Amazing movie. I'd prefer a movie like Inception over 90% of today's mindless action movies. Originality is lost in the art of film making these days and Inception is like a rare gem amongst garbage. Nolan has to be among the best working director of our time. The only people I know who claim to hate Inception are those that have zero idea what it's about in the first place, and most of them think Transformers 2 was "OMGZZZ! TEH BEST MOVIE EVER."

I went to see this with the missus in the cinema and all Must say I wasn't really looking forward to it, thought it would be **** tbh. I was surprised at actually how good it was, really good film. It is very complicated towards the end but if you pay attention you get the reward of a brilliant action/thriller film. Leonardo Di Caprio played Cobb really well, especially on the emotional side of things. Tom Hardy (Eames) was also very good. I'd really recommend going to watch this.

I'd really recommend going to watch this.I know tastes differ from person to person, in movies and other things. I'm just saying that if you follow the plot closely from start to finish, I'm sure you'll find it quite enjoyably at the very least.Well then, I have hope. I despised Transformers 2.

Would like to know what everyone's opinion on the ending is; [Possible spoliers]
Great film, 9/10 for me.
As we know there are two main theories as to what the ending meant. That he was in fact still in his sub conscious mind, or if he in fact was in his "reality". There are several points that support both theories. I thought it was interesting that he Cobb [Di Caprio] began as a man obsessed with knowing what is real, via the totem, to stop questioning what is real, and accepting his "reality".
It does appear that Cobb and Saito [The employer of the Inception task] wake up from their Limbo state. However this is open to question.One thing to question is that are they in limbo, and on the plane it is all a projection of Cobb's mind? Or is the job in fact completed and they are all back in "reality".
One question I ask is that, 'Is Saito really powerful enough to remove Cobb's chase, he is a powerful man, so it could be possible. But it is something to question, as it could be a projection of Cobb's limbo state and his wish to go home. Definately something to consider.
Another thing is, that the fact that Cobb's father was at the airport a projection, as he wanted to see his family? Or was it just a normal collection, he well could have arranged it.
Something that keeps me thinking is that his kids are wearing similar, if not the same clothes, when he returns to "reality"[if he did return] as when he was dreaming, this could well prove he is still in limbo. Having looked at a review and IMDB it does credit two different actors, for both children, for their different ages. This would confirm that Cobb's return to "reality" is in fact true, as the children have grown up.
At the end he spins his [Or was it Mal's] totem and walks away from it, showing that he may not care if he is in limbo, or in "reality" which he was once obsessed with. Will it fall? He doesn't care about Extraction anymore.

Great film, 9/10 for me.
As i have seen the film, these 2 theories are both very interesting, it was a great ending and i think the director has left it for people to make up there own minds as to what actually happened which is very clever. I also think that the ending definitely left the oppurtunity for there to be a sequel, but whether there will be one and whats left to cover i don't know...
Amazing film, epic ending.
10/10 for me. The best action sci-fi film alongside The Matrix..
One tip: NEVER watch this with someone who talks a lot, you have to pay attention and take in all the details, e.g characters, what inception is, ect.
I think the last 30 minutes is one of the greatest endings I've seen, not because it was overly dramatic, but because of how it was done. The way the van is slowly going towards the water (no spoiler) and in all 3 dream states (hotel, snowy place and Copp's creation), everyone is racing against time.
Brilliant film, without a doubt one of the best films of the year, most likely alongside Toy Story and Alice in Wonderland.
EDIT: Heres my favourite bit:

8.5/10 for me. Not a masterpiece but certainly a very good film. Definitely not the 3rd greatest film of all time, it's not even the 3rd greatest film I've watched this month (Brazil, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, There Will Be Blood, and Boogie Nights. Oh and Shutter Island which is arguably as good if not better).
Personally I thought the ending was a bit of a weak move from Nolan but after thinking about it it's brilliant. Leaving the ending completely open like that allows those who believe he was still in a dream state (me) and those who believe he was back to reality to keep having their discussions. Because there are great cases for both arguments throughout the film.
It's so even between whether he's still dreaming or not it becomes irrelevant and the important thing about the ending was that he was freed from his demons.
“They come here to be woken up. Their dream has become their reality. Who are you to say otherwise?”

I do have one major problem with the film though...
[21:20:55] Lee : you know ym biggest problem with inception.... when the van rolled down that bank... we saw JGL's hotel world spinning round... why didn't we get to see what was happening in the mountain world?
[21:20:57] Lee :
[21:22:10] Gregor : we kinda got to see the mountain dream move
[21:22:15] Gregor : member the avalanche
[21:22:33] Lee : yeah, but that was after it rolled about for ages and that was simply when it went off the bridge
[21:22:47] Lee : clearly the roll would of killed them all
[21:22:52] Lee : nolan is a *****
[21:24:08] Gregor : true
