Interesting read about the visual effects used in
That whole scene was just mind blowingly awesome. It looked so freaking real. I hope more film makers throw away the total dependence on CG to make such great and complex sequences. It never looks convincing.

And failing miserably. If you knew anything about me you'd know Im the last person who is looking for someone to make up their mind on something/validate it for them. I have my own opinions and am comfortable with them. Ben not liking the movie has no bearing on how I'll feel about it.
When the hivemind arrives, thats when the party really begins for me!

Agreed, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. There were only a few section where his face is a little strained from bloodflow, but it was otherwise flawless.

I'm on the last five episodes of Season 6. I swear to God, if you fuckers spoil Lost for me in this goddamn thread, I will rain fiery death upon all of you.
Yeah but that is really the insult..the fact that you think that the rest of GAF is nothing but some "hive mind" and that you are some what above it all is more ridiculous then any earned praise this film receives.Solo said:
But I digress, I hope you enjoy the film as much as the majority of us. As it's truly one of better movies to come out of Hollywood in a long time.
Saw it in IMAX last night (a recommendation I wholeheartedly support) and found it to be a rather wonderful film. It's been a while since I've seen any sort of film that's displayed this much creativity and was able to "land it." My biggest issues do echo some of the complaints that have been raised: a couple of clunky expository bits near the beginning and during the second act hurt the otherwise smooth pacing of the film and, for the most part, the various plot details are neatly handed to you. This second point may not apply to everyone, judging by the discussion at the end of the film from some of the exiting audience having a very confused tone. :lol
I don't know for sure if it's Nolan's best film, but he's definitely proved his worth and he's destined for even greater things. For now, it's a thrilling and smart art film that plays with a blockbuster budget; we could use a few more of these.

I'm genuinely curious to see what happens with Nolan post-Batman 3. Inception was a carte-blanche $200M reward-for-BB/TDKs-revenue-generation project from WB to Nolan. If Inception doesnt light the box office on fire, it will be interesting to see what kind of budgets he is handed, and how much freedom he is given post-Batman 3.

What about the explosions. Were they real? I mean
the explosions in Ariadne's first dream, when it's collapsing
Solo said:
Wouldn't a lot of that depend on other factors too? Like how well Batman 3 does, how Superman progresses and how much of a role he (or his brother) has in it, what other WB IPs he might be interested in, etc. Even if Inception doesn't set the box office on fire, I think there are enough reasons for WB to want to keep Nolan close and on good terms.

Tim Burton to direct Batman 3. Johnny Depp as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Well, Im assuming that Batman 3 will be a big hit, obviously (I expect a reduced domestic box office and an increased overseas box office compared to TDK, with the WW take being about the same as TDK's).
And what Im trying to say isnt that WB and Nolan will go separate ways. Any studio worth their salt would retain him. Im just saying that the days of $200M budgets for his own concepts and complete freedom may go away, and he may be reduced to reasonable budgets and studio notes, like everyone else.
Solo said:
I think Inception is a big movie which Nolan has wanted to do for a very long time. The other one obviously would be his Howard Hughes movie. Aside from these two concepts, I don't see him itching to do 200 million dollar blockbusters every other year. Honestly, after Batman 3 I expect another lower budget film like Prestige from him.

M. Night Shyamalan isn't real. He's just an imaginary person in our dream world.

Inception is the best movie I have seen in the past 10 years. It might be the best movie I have ever seen, in fact.
I don't believe there is such a thing as a perfect film. Even my favorite film (Vertigo) has easy to spot flaws. The question should never be is this movie without fault, it should be given the films content do the faults really matter and do they actually effect your enjoyment of the film?harSon said:

The special effects in this movie, 90% of the time we real enough looking to never make me question their authenticity. No other movie has attained that for me. In fact, the entire time I was watching Avatar or similar blockbusters, I couldn't help thinking "all of this is faaaaaakkkkeeee". Never had those moments with this movie.
Acting all the way around was phenomenal, music was intense, cinematography and pacing was awesome as well. Ambiguous and defined in all the right places.
Christopher Nolan is the best modern director.

Let the hyperbole continue!
Fuck waiting a few months, hell - even a few weeks after seeing the film. Lets just spout these statements while we're still on a movie high!
I still love you beast, but best modern director is a BIG call to make.
