Inception

Did you have a little sniffle at the end?
I did the manly cough which they were talking about on Kermode and Mayo last week.

Wonderful film and amazing trilogy. Time will tell which gets to be classed as a true classic - Inception or Toy Story 3.
 
*Spoilers*

I enjoyed it. Great visuals, great concepts, belivable "explaining away" the science behind what doesn't exist. But I do understand why some people don't like it. I too have a very very small nagging feeling in the back of mind that it wasn't actually very ... meaningful. It wasn't like they were saving a nation or the world or the remains of humanity or nothing. Just some crims doing a (reverse) heist that goes wrong, actually not very wrong at all since not one of them really died!

Nevertheless, very good movie.

My question is, I paid once to see it at the cinema. Can I now go and "illegally" download it. As long as I don't share it surely this is alright, after all those images are somewhere in my subconcious memory :) I just want a reminder of memories that already belong to me :)

er no
 

'snow fun.

I thought of another reason why I liked Inception too, the music. I've always said that sound is just as important as visuals in building an atmosphere and creating an emotional response in people. I'm so glad that for ONCE a film has used the awesome emotive music from its trailer in the actual movie! The score all the way through Inception was excellent and definitely helped build the scale of things (beyond what it otherwise might have been as I said before in regards to it being just a bank hesit movie).
 
Well I have to say that I quite enjoyed it. Would not rate it as a classic, but it passed a couple of hours in Milton Keynes for me, so gets extra points for that alone.
It had just enough eccentricity about it to keep you thinking a bit, but not so much that you would need to watch it 2-3 times before unravelling all the twists.
Another bonus was that I was not, on this occasion, accompanied by Mrs SB. This is the sort of film she loves, but in order for her to enjoy it she feels the need to constantly nag me for confirmation that she has grasped all of the intricacies of a swirling plot. A process which can last days beyond the end of the movie. :eyes
Liked Toy Story 3 too, which I saw the day before. Good trilogy, but in my opinion not quite as enjoyable as the Ice Age films.
