In other words, I am dying of anticipation for this film. I am afraid I am hyping it up too much in my mind, but I did that to every other Christopher Nolan Film and was still blown away.
ALL HAIL LORD CHRISTOPHER NOLAN.

Well I didn't say Nolan was ripping anybody off. It was just what I heard from the grapevine.

Same here. I want this movie so bad. My siblings and I haven't stopped talking about it since we first saw the trailer. And like you said, I've always hyped myself up over Christopher Nolan's films and have yet to be disappointed. If anything, my expectations are usually met and exceeded. Not only that, but over the years I've dropped my opinion of Leonardo DiCaprio as Titanic's "pretty boy" and found that he's a spectacular leading man. I think I'm really going to enjoy his performance. Chris Nolan is an incredible director, so I don't think I'll be disappointed in the slightest.

It's impossible to have an intelligent discussion on this movie without having around others who have already seen it, so if you haven't watched it DO. IT. NOW!
It will blow your mind provided you possess an attention span greater than that of a rat.

Seriously. I saw it yesterday with my brother and his friend... mind blown. I love that movie. And Joseph Gordon-Levitt was fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Mm-MMM! Not to mention his character Arthur was awesome, especially
Spoiler: HELL YES
One of the things, though. The ending. What's your take on it, Mr. Bear Jew? :3

I now want to see this film even more.
Really want to see it, but opens next Thursday (29th, not 22th) here D:
REALLY hyped up for this one. Trailers look epic.
Still, pretty sure it won't beat Toy Story 3. After all, it's got 99% from Rotten Tomatoes' regular critics (224 Fresh, 3 Rotten) and 100% from Top Critics (34 Fresh, 0 Rotten).
So, according to what I've seen so far (Toy Story 3) and what I've read about Inception, the current Best Picture nominees for the 83rd Oscars are those two films. That is, Toy Story 3 and Inception.
And potential future ones are "Eat, Pray, Love" (come on, it's produced by Brad Pitt... pretty sure it'll be praised universally), and maybe Wall Street 2 (looks pretty solid), The Social Network (if it performs as good as it's being advertised), and True Grit (if it ends up being as good as the '69 film, or better, considering it has the Coen brothers). Earlier, I was actually thinking how funny it would be if "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" were good enough to deserve a nomination, but then I just laughed and completely forgot about it.
But that's off-topic.
I'm considering pirating it before the 29th, then go see it when it comes out. Just because I need to see it fast, and because I'll most probably want to pay for such an epic film.

Don't pirate this film. It will destroy the emotion. Part of the experience for me was hearing the audience's reaction to everything. Gasps were everywhere and I heard countless "ooo!"s. The ending though (NO SPOILERS) everyone was twisted up. I even heard a few people crying. This is one film that would loose all impact if pirated. Trust me, you HAVE to see this in theaters. I think it is the best film in years.

Honestly, it's complicated. He saw the faces of his children, which he could never do in the dream, implying that he made it back into the real world. But then you have the totem which wobbled but never completely tipped over. I'm torn over this issue, so maybe a repeat view is in order to better construct my thoughts.

Ok, it's a slight Matrix rip off, but at least it then makes it 3 times more complicated and epic than the Matrix. It's one of the few movies that manages to balance EVERY aspect perfectly.
It's totally action packed, the chases were as good as any bond film, the fight scenes too. - Good.
Despite the total, relentless action, the background personal story is original, relevant and poignant enough to hold the film together - Good.
It's even managed a fair bit of humour. Ariadne kissing Arthur was hilarious.
The special effects weren't overdone, but when they were used they were totally mind blowing.
Spoiler: You'll want to see this before reading this
The tension was perfect, the story was brilliant, the concept was GENIUS. This is one of the best films I've seen. Better than the Dark Knight? I dunno, but it's on a par.
Also, Ellen Page. :D
OMNOMNOM Awesome movie. 9.5/10

The only film I've been to with a reaction before was Borat when the whole cinema was in stitches, and clapped at the end. Retrospectively, that was a shit film.

Yeah, that's a pretty interesting ending and everything was so suspenseful and interesting and just really cool. It was a little hard to follow in the beginning but I got into it. I'm seeing it again tomorrow with a friend... I'm sure it will be a different experience after already seeing it once.

You've just absolutely sold my soul to Christopher Nolan. Borges is also one of my favourite writers, I've always loved his style.
My father tried getting a pirated copy (can't really afford taking me and my brother to the cinema), but the sound was terrible, so I had to depend on subtitles. Subtitles were probably worse than the sound, they translated stuff like "I need a new architect" into "I need something else", and sometimes even worse (there was a random "It's in the cake" line in the subtitles...). So I had to, let's call it ragequit after less than half an hour.
Still waiting for a chance to see it in cinemas...

It is revealed to Ariadne that Cobb's totem is the spinning top, and Arthur's totem is the loaded die. They know how their totems work. All Ariadne knew was that she needed a totem, so she made one before so rudely entering Cobb's dreams. She never got the chance to learn how her totem worked; how does she test the weight, and how it reacts? She had no idea.
Of course, while this explanation might make sense, if it does, why did they even bother to have her make one? I would've loved to have seen Ariadne, Saito, and hell, even Arthur (who explained his damn totem to her), use their totems; I loved the spinning top gimmick, they could've come up with something creative for each.
- The loaded die always lands on a certain number.
- The copper bishop would balance perfectly upside down in the dream.
And et cetera. Oh, and by the way, some hilarious memes from the movie have already emerged:

"Absolutely sublime from start to finish and I will jam forks into my eyes if I ever use those words to describe anything else ever again."
Best film of Christopher Nolan's career and best action movie I have seen in a looong time... no, scratch that, best action movie I've ever seen. That's no light praise, I've seen literally hundreds of action movies. Puts shit like Iron Man 2, Transformers and the A-Team to immeasurable shame.

The fight sequences were original - Gordon-Levitt's zero-gravity fights, as well as that ski chase.

While I was watching it, I was glad that they didn't bother to sit the audience down and talk us through every aspect of the dream business (how it works, how long it's been around, how many people can do it). It was fun that they just went with it as if it were normal, and let us fill in the holes (like the dreaming populating the dreamscape!? lol THE MOVIE ITSELF IS A DREAM!!!). But the one thing I wish they would have explained a little better is the totems.
Arthur explained to Ariadne that the feel of your totem would tip you off to the fact that you were in someone else's dream because no one can recreate your totem perfectly. That would imply that it's the dreamer that recreates everyone's totems during the dream. But does that mean the totem is ineffective if you're in your own dream? If it's your dream, you created the totem, therefore you ought to know its feeling.
Plus Cobb's totem (the only one that's ever used) doesn't work by feel, it works by the visual/physical spin aspect, which would be very easy for a dreamer to recreate (assuming they knew it was his totem and that the spin was the key).
Or is it that each person recreates their own totem automatically when they enter a dream, and whether or not the totem functions depends on their subconscious knowledge of the fact that they're in a dream? In which case, Cobb's subconscious is so effed up anyway, wouldn't it effect the totem towards whatever outcome he wanted from it?
I wish we could have seen the other totems in action as a basis for comparison.
