    I don't get it. I understood Twelve Monkeys and I understood Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Memento and lots of other mind-fuck films. But this movie, I just...

    ¯\(°_o)/¯

    Maybe it just sucked.

    I haven't watched it yet... I'm sure if I did though I'd get it, or at least pretend I did so I could look smart.

    Were you paying attention?

    I saw it outside and kept watching helicopters and dragonflies go by and I still got it.

    It was overrated and overly complicated. The dream in a dream in a dream was so pointless.

    Personally, Inception is easily one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. I don't see how you had a hard time understanding it though. It's pretty straight-forward.

    I want to have a dream like the movie inception. I always have fucked up dreams that mess with me for the first hour after i woke up. I don't want to take up. I want to live in a dream. :hat:

    For those who haven't seen it and are interested in seeing it, here is an HD(720p) quality streaming link for Inception. Depending on your connection speed, you may have to wait a few minutes for it to load, but it doesn't have to load all the way; just enough for you to start watching the movie:

    For those with slower connection speed, here is a lower-quality streaming link, but it's still DVD quality:
    http://www.putlocker.com/file/ELQKE1TJBBSCGWO#

    BTW, when you click the play button, click the one on the right. Not the one on the left.

    Inception was cool. Could have shown some tits though, in slow-mo.

    The ending was a bit much; dream within a dream, within a dream. Edgar Allan would have rolled over in his grave.

    I loved Inception. Anyone that has not seen it see it. One of the best movies I have seen. The movies was pretty straight forward a dream within a dream with in a dream.

    Yeah. It's a little too cut up in the beginning; disorienting; but whenever they finally bring in the philosophical aspects and meaning, any faults are totally redeemed.

    You should check out Irreversible :2thumbsup:
    SPOILER:
    The very end, where the tops wobbled a bit but didn't fall really pissed me off.
    It was pretty obvious to me that it wasn't a dream (just by the rules presented in the film) and it would've worked much better as a happy ending. Christopher Nolan himself said he interpreted it as reality (and he wrote the damn thing)

    See, this is probably why I didn't like it. I was expecting this.VVV

    I understand what is going on (although Dreamscape did a better job explaining how someone can get into another persons dream) I just do not get why everyone went so crazy for this movie.

    This would have helped me out a really lot.

    Another great dream hacking movie is the anime Paprika. I'm not an anime fan at all, either; but a bit of an amateur movie connoisseur =P
