    The lights went out in the movie during the final scene... everyone started laughing because it was like our "kick"!

    I'm not very keen on Nolan's style, but I enjoyed the movie. I'll definitely watch it at least one more time.

    Yeah, I liked it, but wasn't over the moon about it. I like having to work to follow / figure a movie out as it helps to involve me in the movie. But I thought that this one was just a little too hard to follow - at least for my aging noggin.

    Still, all in all, a good ride & worth the ticket price.

    Great movie, finally, after all the flashy, loud, and devoid of story "blockbusters" over the last few years..

    Wife and I saw this last night; it was our 12th wedding anniversary and we decided dinner and a movie. It was a great movie, plain and simple.

    Meh. I was pretty underwhelmed honestly. I found the last hour in particular rather boring and predictable. *sigh* oh well.

    Just watched it today.

    Inception was really good, graphics and story line were awesome, even the end had you speculating.

    My mind was completely blown. This was quite possibly my favorite out of all the movies i've seen in at least the last 5 years.

    Went and saw it in IMAX. DLP projector + huge screen + 12,000 watts of audio bliss, and this was a HELL of an experience.

    I just got around to seeing this over teh weekend when I was out in Portland. I loved the flick, and look forward to seeing it again, but I really loathed the soundtrack. Way too overpowering and obvious. I understand what they were trying to do with it, and maybe the mix at the theater I was in had it up a little too loud, but the music was just repetitive and stupid.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Maybe the music thinks YOU'RE repetitive and stupid. Ever think about that?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I was shocked to see it hit number 6 of all time in IMDB, right below Pulp Fiction. I'm gonna make it a point to see this one sometime.

    Grabbed it Tuesday night and watched yesterday morning. The soundtrack is awesome. An hour and 38 minutes into the movie during the van chase there was a bass track that made my damn coffee table shake. I hadn't heard my subs dig that low before so hopefully some of you are in for the same surprise I was.

    Yeah, I had my SVS/Buttkicker combo rockin' during that movie! If you think that's nice, seriously... the 5.1 score on the Blu-ray bonus disc = AUDIO NIRVANA.

    Finally Nolan made a film that wasn't boring because frankly the Batman films were about 45 minutes too long and boring. This, was worth the time invested.

    Watched it on Blu-Ray last night. I was worried that it wouldn't translate well from the IMAX theatre i saw it in, to my home on a 42" plasma through my 2-channel setup.

    I was wrong. Just as good at home. Noticed a LOT of things i missed the first time.

    Gave the little Paradigms a HELL of a workout, though. :smile: I am completely FLOORED at the impact/bass those little suckers will put out. Was rattling things on the mantle above the fireplace.

    Bassheads will LOVE this movie.

    We watched this the other day...

    The bass in the inital dream sequence with the girl made me physically ill by the amount of bass in that scene.

    We had to pause the movie and walk around.

    Not a real big fan of this one. I bought it after seeing the reviews from you guys.

    I should have Redboxed it.

    A much different story line that most movies. Just never really got that into it.

    Great sound, and that was about it for me. Found it extremely slow/boring at the beginning. It got a little better later but it just didn't do it for me.

    Maybe too high expectations from this thread?
