This movie was confusing in the beginning but after I got into it, it was really good. -
To me, and my family, Inception was a great movie. It took me until the middle to actually understand what they were doing at all. So don't expect to understand everything in the beginning. The characters were great, they all played their part wonderfully! Personally I have a problem with people's accents when I'm at a movie, so in the beginning I was like, "What did he say." Which totally threw me off. So only say why they are going in the dreams a few times, so listen closely. Pay attention to everything, if you don't you'll get confused...... So the movie was okay, after what I just said that's what I think. The movie is good, you can't really find the plot when you need to, and I was confused... But if you like a movie with confusion, watch this one!! -
Wow!!! An amazing two and a half hour thrill ride. Dicaprio and the entire supporting cast really deliver in this well written and directed new twist on the action thriller. -
Not bad, but it seems there were a few slow spots, the slo mo stuff it seemed like to me could have been moved along, it added to the length of the movie but not really to the overall of the good or bad of it. Reminded me of something I saw a couple of decades ago..... -

Inception is one of my new “favs”. I especially enjoyed Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance. The concept of a dream within a dream, etc. was brilliant. A little hard to follow at first but after a second viewing the next day the storyline and flow became perfectly clear. -
Not perfect, but very close. It took old ideas rarely used and turned them into a uniquely inventive world with suspense and action. Nothing is what it seems in this movie and I love it for that.
Leo does a great job in this movie. I also believe Ellen Page could have stepped it up another notch to match, though the end result is amazing. No minor character goes unnoticed and the story holds you in from start to finish.
So long as you catch the train in the first place and pay attention. -
If you like chaos theory, you’ll love Inception. Likewise, if you are Christopher Nolan in love with your own sci-fi concept in which scenes unrelated to one another, absent of foreshadowing, devoid of transitions, or any other means by which an audience can track what is happening, then again, Inception is your kind of movie.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who was superb in Blood Diamond and The Departed, but otherwise the Scorsesist baby-faced darling of Hollywood whose talent has had the rare privilege of developing on screen, is, in Inception, a one-note stare into oblivion. Miscast Ellen Page, memorable in Juno, looks even less mature in this film. The supporting characters, Tom Hardy and Ken Watanabe, although afforded little substantive dialogue, nevertheless are the only thing worth watching in this nightmare of slash and burn editing.
While “show don’t tell” is the mandate of film, you still need to give the audience some indication as to what is going on and why. Other than a flimsy wave of the wrist that we are watching the theft of corporate secrets by means of electronic and chemical forays into the dreaming heads of CEOs (and who would want to go there without some nefarious purpose), the audience must suspend all understanding of what is before them in hopes that there will be some substantive denouement to all of this running and shooting, and fooling around.
Inception wants to be a three-dimensional game of chess. The problem is the platforms do not stay put long enough to stack the pieces into a game you can play. The characters, the scenes, the spine of the story, are all so loosely floating around, disconnected from one another, that you finally just give up, blandly watching the shoot-em-ups and car chases in order to stay awake. Yes, we are dealing with the dream world, so anything goes, right? Err…yeah, that really is the case in Inception. Go back to The Matrix if you want to be entertained by what is real and what is illusion. -
Bigb is not a good movie critic. Disregard everything he said. Inception is a great movie with stellar performances by Leonardo DiCaprio and his supporting actors. The movie is complex but easy to follow after the first 10 minutes. It has all the makings of a great movie. Ellen Page does a great job, as always, and follows through til the end of the movie. The story is totally unique and will leave you thinking long after the movie is over. The movie has action, suspense, intrigue, wonder, complexity, and bears a great deal of intelligence. It's a long movie but you will be entertained every step of the way. There is never a dull moment and Ken Watanabe performs his role superbly as the Tourist and Joseph Gordon-Levitt does not disappoint as the Point Man. I can't say enough about this movie. See it if you can because this will be a classic and will definitely be one of the best movies of 2010.
