'Inception' Mega Thread *SPOILERS FROM POST 292 ONWARDS*

Linguo

I can't wait for this one, trying not to get my expectations up too high but looks like the type of movie I'll love!

LadyMayBelle

Just watched the trailer, hadn't realised there was such a great line up; Cillian Murphy..yes.

Plus I know the music and sounds of impending doom will have me hooked..

Great book. Great movie. The movie wins by the narrowest possible margin

So did I, weird dream involving Leo being chased around by shadows on a wall.

I remember thinking that the film was a load of crap with an awful soundtrack from Zimmer, too! :pac:

Music from the trailer, how class is that, I seriously cant wait for this.

Sad Professor

Yeah, the trailer music was great. Too bad it won't be in the film.

Bing_IRL

Actully got to see the movie in Amsterdam the week before last. It is awesome. The cgi stuff is truly jaw dropping stuff. We were asked not to comment on the movie though so that's all I'll say :-)

filmfan

You lucky thing, can't wait for this one

Are the cinemas in Dublin planning on any early screenings on the 14th / 15th?

There's a review I stumbled across. Should whet the appetite!

seraphimvc

Must... avoid.. reviews..!

Going.. in.. cold!

pixelburp

Me too - I'm ignoring the reviews and want to see it as fresh as possible. That the majority of reviews are positive is great to hear though.

Haha, I was worried that I'd get a backlash for putting so much temptation in front of people. :P

I haven't read any reviews myself, just thought I'd show where the film stands right now in regards to reception from the critics. No negative reviews so far, that is until Armond White gives his verdict. :rolleyes:

st_jimmy

Strange the way I cannot book Inception in advance at Cineworld or anywhere else. You can book showings of toy story 3 right now and it comes out a week after Inception...

kraggy

Am I the only one who thought the twist in the Prestige was very obvious?

Vokes

Which one?

johnny_ultimate

Have avoided trailers, reviews and synopses: only a week to go so I think I can make it!

If I see a single spoiler in this thread *waves banning stick* :pac:

Duggy747

While I haven't delved deep into the reviews many of them don't reveal anything as they all stress it's a film to watch cold. Many seem to agree this is his best work yet.

It's touted as an intelligent, mature film with fantastic set pieces, highly recommended for IMAX.

What I love about Nolan is his old-school way to making films. This guy probably would've killed all around him had he been around in the 70's when CGI wasn't a neccesity to big films. Even in this day & age in Hollywood he wants to push what can be physically possible with sets and camera technology (none of that fancy-smancy 3D or CGI bollox)

Listening to him in interviews describe how he likes making films is brilliant, whatever about the story he knows exactly how a film should be made.

It'll be a fùckin' crime if this doesn't do as well as it should in the box office.

fitz

I reckon this is gonna have a better second/third week than it's opening week. The general movie going public don't really know enough about it, but I think the word of mouth after opening weekend is going to be huge...

filmfan

Avoiding all reviews as well, don't want to know a thing, so nice to have a few exciting movies coming up!

ziedth

I also no nothing apart from the 15sec ad on tv which gives nothing away. I'd nearly say it's the first time since the matrix that I know nothing about a film before watching and the 5th element before that.

czarak

Apparently the Dublin premiere is on Wed 14th at The Savoy, anyone know if there are any screenings on the 15th anywhere? I can't find any info on this.

klicha10

ye thx men

Shred

I've been really looking forward to this since I saw the first teaser (60 seconds or whatever it was) early this year and I haven't watched any other trailers since, except for the TV clips I've seen, it really does look like it's going to be the movie of the summer for me. Not going to read any reviews before hand either as I gave up reading reviews a while ago as they've become ridiculous with spoilers these past few years (just like trailers).

quad_red

Surprised Cineworld aren't doing a Thursday preview.

Duggy747

NNNNnnnnnnnnnrrrrrrggggghhh!!!

The Soundtrack is out.............must...........resist.............only..............3 days............to..............go............nnnnnnnnnnnnnggggghhh!!!

There's also 4 clips up on the web, I'd advise to stay well away from them. I haven't seen them but they did the same thing with The Dark Knight and showed important scenes. Anyone who dares post 'em here shall be swiftly shot.

Total Film have given a comprehensive review (4/5 Stars), didn't read it because of the spoilers but it seems they didn't lick arse like Empire did (as per usual)

conorhal

My mind is spoiler free and pure as the virgin snow for Inception, I hate that I have to pin so much hope on this film to salvage a poxy summer at the movies though.

I am however anticipating a solid liklihood that I'll be able saunter over to the Avatards over on IMBD and taunt them with a film that's actually good science fiction!

Rick Deckard

darknight 0

it's all about the binary..

Jako8

Going to see this and Predators in the same night.

I, like you guys, know very little about this film. You wouldn't realise how hard it is to avoid stuff though.

Snake Plisken

going to Vue on Saturday morning at 9.40am hopefully there won't be to many annoying people in the cinema at that time

good idea, the earliest in my local is 11.30, can imagine all the teenieboppers with nothing better to do with their afternoon.. (pot kettle black.. )

Duggy747

Popping into town now to get me tickets, fùck if I'm gonna be queuing for this!!

Mickeroo

I haven't read it cause I want to go in completely blank, but an official prequel comic called The Cobol Job is available online here:

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/inception-comic.html

Only seen the first trailer a right while ago.. Nothing since and we don't have channels so no ads.
Think i'm waiting till next week when it wont be so packed and noisy.
Can't wait.

ooPabsoo

just seen it there,it is the weirdest film i've ever seen..duno if its weird in a good way or a bad way

fluke

I can't remember the last time I was looking forward to a movie that wasn't a sequel, reboot or book adaptation in so long!

Pudding11

Saw the premiere screening last night. In my opinion, its the movie of the year. Absolutely awesome. Definitely seeing it again when its released tomorrow.

We watched it last night in the cinema (just staff) have to say, best film this year so far.

Advice to anyone going to watch it, do not get up and go to the toilet, it's nearly 2 and a half hours but you don't want to get lost,

It's bit of a headF**K IMO

Going to the 10:50pm show tomorrow night (pity there's no later show to be sure) for the same reason, the last 3 movies I've seen have been late showings and I enjoyed all 3 immensely as as result; it was just like the cinema used to be. Can't wait.

Handsome Bob

Gonna see it at 11am tomorrow, the joys of being a student taking the Summer to write his thesis. :pac:

Well for some, eh?

I'm seeing it at 10:30pm tomorrow night, got my tickets a few days back. The urge to look at clips, reviews and listen to the soundtrack is reaching boiling point................nearly..............there...............nnnnnnnnnnnnggghhh!!!

Raekwon

I saw it earlier tonight and all I can say is WOW! :eek: But I must warn you, it will not be too everyones taste considering the sear complexity of the plot.........it is so easy to get lost then end up not "getting it" (like the dude in the cinema behind me who greeted the end credits with "What the f**k was that"? ).

The trailer totally gives away all the big action set pieces but doesn't spoil the plot that much (if at all) but I have to say that the mid-air fight scenes where the van is tumbling down the hill thus making the hotel corridor rotate is sheer cinematic brilliance!

Tip of the cap to you Christopher Nolan!

trustno1

Saw this last night.. Mind Meltingly Magnificent... THE film of the year, excellent plot, excellent cast, excellent music, basically excellent everything!..

And I really don't understand why people are talking about 'people not getting it'... whats not to get?.. very straight forward plot - its just a case of keeping up!!..

Jesus I can't wait.. Haven't wanted to see somethin this bad in a long time.

allanb49

I only know the bare outline of the story, its something i hate doing and just going on the hype cause i'm ultimatly let down.

Anyone else have the same feelings?
