Inception...wow
 
Great movie. Great. Can't recommend it enough. I don't think any other movie I've seen has had such an insane as well as good ending. One thing is though, if you see it, make sure you pay attention the whole time. You'll probably still get a little confused, but it will eventually make sense.

To keep this on topic in terms of firearms. Nice assortment of guns, you were pretty much able to see most of them in the trailers, aside from the M16 type rifles and probably a couple others. The action scenes as well as their settings were creative I think, though they felt a bit rushed, like they were just trying to get through it, but still overall solid. SEE THE MOVIE!:cool:

Excalibur 07-17-2010 03:10 AM

Yeah, I saw it today as well and it was awesome.

Nyles 07-17-2010 06:33 AM

Quite good - though I definately saw the ending coming. And so did everyone else in the theatre judging from the reactions.

Excalibur 07-17-2010 06:36 AM

Yeah, during that part in the end, I was entirely expecting it to happen but it was a good movie. Makes you really think cause my buddy got confused along the way with all these deeper dream states and what is reality.

Swordfish941 07-17-2010 02:54 PM

It has now been proven that Christopher Nolan can't make a crappy movie.

Zulu Two Six 07-17-2010 08:53 PM

WOah....i watched dark night again. i should see inception today
christopher nolan is soooo fucking good. i love that movie
inception should be awesome

Kinzer 07-18-2010 03:01 AM

SPOILER (sort of)


One cool gun related thing I remember is when he'd catching the shell casings as the eject. I think that's the first time I've seen that in a movie and it looked pretty cool. Except it didn't make sense really. He was in a dream, are the dream CSI going to come after him? I don't know, maybe in movie world a shell casing hiting the floor is louder than a suppressed gunshot.

Excalibur 07-18-2010 04:08 AM

I think even in a dream world, it still follows most principles and laws that governs the real world, though one would wonder why they don't summon jet packs or guns with infinite ammo. They never explain what they really CAN'T do in the dream world or be aware that this is a dream and that pain doesn't work.

I mean, pain exists in the dream world for some reason, yet shooting yourself in the head gets you out of it.

S&Wshooter 07-18-2010 04:22 AM

I'd totally go see this movie if the dreams featured in the film were anything like mine. Zombies, hot chicks, S&W's, and gratuitous violence. Hell yeah

Kinzer 07-18-2010 04:46 AM

I'm just glad that they didn't try to make to stupid quasi-scientific explanation of how they're able to go into people's dreams. Most other directors would have had some scene where they talk about they reroute the impulses of the brain using super focused radiated unobtanium. Luckily Nolan knows what he is doing.

Also I see your point about the limits of what they can do. I mean it's implied that they can just dream things up, like the grenade launcher, so why not just dream up an APC and some heavy machine guns? Maybe it's like the Matrix, some rules can be bent while others can be broken.

Excalibur 07-18-2010 05:39 AM

I think in the dream world, when you really are experiencing it fully aware, your mind has to comprehend the world of the dream, create natural laws and rules without turning it into a chaotic hurricane.

Gunmaster45 07-18-2010 05:47 AM

I just saw this tonight on a date. It was an awesome movie, and it got me a girlfriend. :) The ending is debatable though. Personally I think it was reality. (hopefully that didn't spoil too much)

Zulu Two Six 07-18-2010 05:51 PM

well you can't die in a dream...so...im not really sure
everyone has there own opinions, maybe it was reality

Excalibur 07-19-2010 02:17 AM

I'm getting a lot of Matrix vibs from this movie, but better because Nolan did it

I can't argue my point without using spoilers so I'll leave a warning on this post:

SPOILER WARNING














I think the ending was reality, because at first the top keeps spinning, so naturally everyone assumes he's still in the dream world (the audience in the theater seemed to agree with this, including one guy I heard say "Oh shit." haha) but at the last second of the film, the top begins to quiver, like it's going to fall over. It wouldn't have done this in the dream world.

Excalibur 07-19-2010 11:51 AM

I think so too. I think the top was just taking a really long time to spin and stop

Zulu Two Six 07-19-2010 12:35 PM

oh...maybe i worded my comment wrong, i said i thought he was in reality, not the dream
but it is a really good way to sum up a movie. of course i expect nothing less from christopher nolan

A few things I didn't understand. The movie was one you really had to pay attention to, and since I was on a date I missed some parts...

Could someone explain:

1: At the beginning of the movie, what did they need to get from Sato's mind?

2: What were they infiltrating Cillian Murphy's mind for, and why did nobody seem to make use of the information once everyone woke up?

3: When Cobb is in limbo trying to find Sato, why is Sato an old man, but Cobb isn't? And why did they both wake up on the plane, wouldn't they have been in limbo for at least a year for Sato to have been so old?

Also, did anybody notice the combination to the safe was mentioned several times? When Cillian Murphy is first told to say the first six letters in his head, he says the combination, and the girl's fake phone number is also the combo.

Excalibur 07-20-2010 11:19 PM

EVERYTHING I WRITE HERE IS SPOILER





I can explain the limbo part. Sata "died" and had already been in limbo ahead of Cobb and since time doesn't matter in limbo, decades had already passed by the time Cobb entered limbo and washed up on that beach.

Also it was a 10 hour flight. Remember time doesn't matter in the dream world or is very fast. A 10 hour flight could have been forever in limbo.



We can assume Cobb was trying to get corporate secrets from Sato, but Sato was obviously baiting himself to scout Cobb for his job offer.


Well Cillian Murphy - Robert Fischer, Jr if you remember, they were in his mind to plant an idea and make him think it's his own "Inception" is what it is called. Didn't you watch the movie?


And yes, I also noticed the fake number and the combination is the same. Obviously it was meant to keep Cillian Murphy's character - Robert Fischer, Jr to remember it.


Ok let me get this straight, you forgot about WHY they were in Cillian Murphy's mind but remember that the fake girl's number is the same as the combo for the safe?

It was a simple as me being too distracted at some parts to catch the main idea, to being able to watch it and be observant in others.

She's not your girlfriend if she dumps you after only a few days

Excalibur 07-21-2010 05:10 AM

Anyway, Inception is worth a second screening. I am seriously thinking about seeing it again. I went during the morning showings so I paid about 5 dollars

S&Wshooter 07-21-2010 05:12 AM

I'm going to wait for this to come out on DVD to see it, just so I don't have to go to the theater again

That's why I'm not all emo and super depressed about it. It was "facebook official" which makes it official enough but it sure did end quick enough to contradict that. idk, friends rushed it, maybe some other day. :rolleyes:

Excalibur 07-21-2010 01:59 PM

Wait, you met her on facebook?

No, she was a friend of my friend, it's just called "facebook official" when your relationship statuses on fb are saying you're dating each other, and everyone can read it.

But that's irrelevant to the thread, so w/e. haha

Zulu Two Six 08-08-2010 03:51 AM

saw it again today.....still awesome
have mixed opinions though on the end

If she's the kind of girl who makes it "facebook official" after a few days, then you're better off without her.

S&Wshooter 08-08-2010 11:14 PM

I saw it the other day with a few friends. It's not too complex if you just pay close attention

Dovecam.W 08-22-2010 07:46 AM

Just watched Inception last night at home.

It was really good, graphics and story line were awesome, even the end had you speculating. Worth buying a ticket for the cinema.

Good quote GM45! :) Seriously. For the record, everyone who works in the industry hates Pirates. They're a primary reason why production has either collapsed or moved overseas (to save money due to anticipated piracy). Anyone who doesn't think that it is wrong, has lost my respect.

Rockwolf66 08-24-2010 12:48 AM

MPM hopefully when we get an Official Youtube account I can arrange a debate between yourself and a member of Sweden's Pirate Party. As long as things stay civil then it would be a great thing to watch.

So you're saying that Long John Silver, Captian Hook, Captian Crunch, Jack Sparrow, a bunch of Somali's, and Mr. Smee are on your enemies list?
