Go see it!
I just worked and saw the New York premier, and I had no big expectations as I sat down to watch this movie but I have to say it was one of the best I have seen in about four years. I like Christopher Nolan's work, Leonardo can be and has been good, especially his early work but I don't rush to his films in the theater (especially since no less than two of his 'pussy posse' clan mates managed to get into this movie) - but wow !
Great flick ! And definitely one to see IN the theater ( as oppossed to waiting for the dvd, which should be available by tomorrow ;P ).
I called the ending though!
Could not agree more,this film is very worth watching.
I want to see this very badly...
I would have like more of the Arthur character, he reminded me of Christian Bale in Equilibrium.
Arthur was the guy with the slicked back hair. The one left in the hotel who had to "improvise."

During lunch a coworker and I were throwing all kinds of scenarios at this... basically, she thinks the last shot of the movie proves that Cobb is still dreaming at the end: when dreaming he wears his wedding ring and when he is awake he doesn't... she said the last shot 1) showed him wear a wedding ring and 2)she noticed his kids did not age one bit... :)
He's definitely in Limbo with Saito though, but he arrives in Limbo later (as evidenced by Saito's old age by the time he gets there...)

I think that Cobb is in a dream for the entire movie, and that Mal is actually alive and has been trying to get him to wake up from limbo. The projection of Mal acts completely different from other projections.

I've been hitting people over the head for years with the fact that string theory invalidates religion and evolution...It was inevitable that someone would reach the conclusion.
What you should be asking is...are they all trapped?, were 'his team' milking dicaprio for intel and using 'seeing his children' and 'returning to the USA' as a means of getting him to let go of 'his wife'.
-random tangent-
You know I refuse to watch the 3rd Matrix movie because of the ending of the second one.
There's a part where Neo shuts down a bunch of incoming machines outside of the Matrix and as we left the theatre I'm like, "Holy cow guys, you know that means they're still in the Matrix right? Like some kind of back-up zone they dump people when they realize the whole thing is a sham. It's the only way he could still influence the world like that!" Then I'm told my idea was actually never touched upon in the third movie and I was like, "Screw that I like my ending better."
Amazing and groundbreaking film... which never stops you thinking!
Tis a head scrambler though...
That's a good idea Dow! The bit that really jarred me into full-on paranoia mode was when ** spoiler omitted **
Yeah know the part you mean... Nolan did a great job as you can either watch the film and take it "literally"... or allow your paranoia and headjam to kick in and conjure all manner of scenarios...
Will be thinking about this one for a LONG time lol... desperate to see it again so I can watch it with my theory in mind :)
Oh mamma - that is brain burnout territory!
Mark of a great film though... keeps you thinking
Perhaps Nolan incepted that paranoia into you? :D

No that is plain nasty lol - I like the way your twisted head thinks... or rather how I'm made to think that your mind thinks :)

Man, this is one effed up movie. You could be right about the "dreaming the whole time" bit... :(
Regarding how much of the movie was a dream ...
But did you all notice how practically the whole movie (even when they are ‘awake’ – if they truly are) is shot like a dream. You never see how they arrive in a scene, they are just there! The Mombasa sequence in particular is very dream-like – the chase is like a dream (particularly the narrow escapes and the very narrow passageway) and the corporation thugs who are after him appear and act almost exactly like Fischer’s armed projections in the later inception mission.
I thought the movie was great, but it will be too confusing for some people. And for people who like to figure stuff out, it will give you a little headache... in a good way!
It also had some of the best fight scenes I've seen.
I'm in the camp that he's still in dream time.
The reason I think that:
1) The top is still spinning. Sure, it slightly wobbles, but ANYTHING can happen in dream time. The thing can wobble a million times and almost fall and keep going, after all, it's a dream.
2) His kids never seem to age. His kids in his memory are the same as when he sees them, and we're lead to believe he is away for more than a few months (by his conversations with his mother-in-law). Kids grow fast at age 3-5 and even a year, they would look different.
3) His wife has a point. Maybe she is the one who escaped her subconscious and he is still trapped. A lot of things in his life make no sense, like he was in a dream.
Btw, who has the power (besides the President) to make a phone call and wipe your record from the customs databases? Reality check: No one! Certainly not some corporate smuck, not even Bill Gates (although maybe he would hack in, lol).
I actually believe the Asian guy (who he saved at the end), was actually trying Inception on Leonardo! I believe it was all part of his plan, only Leonardo didn't "get it" and it didn't work.
It's hard to tell what really happenned, maybe we'll never know. Or maybe there will be an Inception 2. :)
