Nice, it was already screened for MPAA so that makes sense.Guzim said:Don't know if it has been posted or not, but according to IMDB, the runtime is 142 minutes.

That's pretty damn long to me. Most films are 120 hours +/- 10 minutes right?jett said:It's just 2 hours and 30 minutes dude...

DanielPlainview said:It all depends on the film. There are crazy long movies that fly by because of excellent pacing (Zodiac, The Departed, etc.) and short films that feel like the drag on forever (Cop Out, Extraordinary Measures).
As long as directors keep it interesting it really doesn't matter the length.
Some videogames definitely go on for too long, too (at least the single-player story aspect).Solo said:I really hate this mindframe. Its not a videogame. If a movie can do what it needs to in 90 minutes, then it should be 90 minutes long, not 120 minutes long. Obviously this isnt with respect to Inception because none of us have seen it, but as a general rule. I dont know how many movie threads on GAF that Ive literally shaken my head over when someone says this.

Fair enough. I can't even bring myself to finish most games over a few hours long nowadays...Mass Effect series aside.Solo said:I know. I was just referring to the length = value! mindset that so many gamers have.
Growing up on the N64 makes you like that.Solo said:I know. I was just referring to the length = value! mindset that so many gamers have.
CajoleJuice said:Anyway, getting back on topic, I'm hoping that 150 minutes is packed to the brim with awesomeness, and doesn't have a weak third act like another Nolan film...
Yeah, I can agree with that (on all points, especially the Boyle comment).Solo said:I don't think hes had a third act failure yet ala Danny Boyle, but his third acts in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are notably inferior to the 2 acts that proceed them. Which just so happen to be the "action movie climax" part of the film, which is where Nolan is lacking. I dont see Inception having this problem, because I dont think its going to be that kind of movie.
I have it in my rotation (SignAvatar.com is cool) but I really don't mind if we both use it.Raistlin said:Thank you!
A featurette about the filming of Christopher Nolans next film, Inception, has apparently begun playing during theater previews this weekend. We received one report from an avid Nolan fan that this was shown during the pre-trailer previews of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time at an AMC theater.

harSon said:Blame Alex Garland for some of Boyle's films taking ridiculous turns in the 3rd act.
Blader5489 said:Can't we still blame Boyle for choosing Garland's scripts?
harSon said:Certainly.
From now on, Boyle should hire two screenwriters, Garland to write the first two acts and someone else to finish it off.
I don't get his fascination with departing from nearly everything he built up in the first two acts... he's done it in Sunshine, The Island and 28 Days Later. It's ridiculous :lol
Solo said::lol
Bay, not Boyle. And I loved The Beach's turn.
The Beach.harSon said:Certainly.

People who hate on Garland's third acts just seem to hate it when their genre films attempt to actually say something.

I would love to know how Garland shits on the rest of his scripts with his third acts. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.harSon said:I'm perfectly fine with it, I just find the instant transition from traditional Hollywood to something more akin to French New Wave to be unsettling and rather disjointed. It's possible to create a genre film with substance, without having to shit on 75% of your story when transitioning to Act 3.
Clearly, A massive twist is always needed to make the film say something.Dan said:The Beach.

The third act of Sunshine just makes the obstacle humanity is facing a more intimate personification.harSon said:Sunshine for example,shifts from hard science fiction to a slasher film. The film seemed to be heading in a direction where the crew members were going to have to face each other, and make a decision as to who lives and who dies for the sake of humanity. But no, we were robbed of that emotional ordeal and given a 3rd act that certainly brings the character and story arcs to an end, but in a way that is uninspired and ridiculously out of sync with the tone of what came before it.
Not sure what movie you watched, but those scenes are there. You don't get the aftermath but that wouldn't have been terribly interesting without having the last acthe film seemed to be heading in a direction where the crew members were going to have to face each other, and make a decision as to who lives and who dies for the sake of humanity.
Word. I can't wait for people to complain when The Walking Dead isn't just about humans being killed by and killing zombies, but about humans in conflict with each other.Scullibundo said:Tonal shift does not = a twist, shintoki.
I love the third act of 28 Days Later. Jim storming the house is brilliant. I like Garland's third acts because they usually take characters who are already in a completely deep hole they need to get out of and then throw in an extra conflict which creates absolutely desperate circumstances.
28 Days wouldn't have been nearly as good if the third act was them arriving at the military base and then trying to survive more hordes of infected alongside the friendly military types.
The family adventure with Frank and Anna was killed off right where it peaked, rather than winding down into survival horror with them.
