This looks mental, and I'm looking forward to it! Reminds me of The Matrix and Paprika.

A fan reordered the clips in the trailers which clears the whole thing up a bit.

Saw a trailer in the cinema the other day (before Kick-Ass). Looks good!

4/5
Very good film, IMO. A very fresh and innovative, thought provoking Science Fiction film. Also it surely set a new benchmark in visual effects as well.

A LOT is left unexplained, but I thought that the film was already loaded with a lot of exposition. Explaining everything in regards to how the group dreaming technology works, how they control dream authorship, etc very likely might've really bogged the film down, killing the pacing stone dead.

There's quite a few noticeable plot holes and unrealistic plot conveniences, but one really gets the sense that they were entirely intentional by Writer/Director Christopher Nolan - to keep you guessing to whether or not, the supposed reality is a dream or not. The ambiguity is very reminiscent of films adapted from Philip K. Dick works, like Blade Runner and Total Recall.

As I mentioned before, the visual effects are excellent. A lot of the set-pieces are superbly crafted by a talented filmmaker, visually enthralling and incredibly innovative.

Overall, I highly recommend Inception. It will divide a lot of opinions, but it's regardless guaranteed to generate meaningful conversation. If anything it's worth seeing just for that.

I've seen it too, and also thought it was really good. Out of interest, what plot holes did you spot? I'm sure I noticed some, but in honesty I can't remember them at the moment.

Apparently this film is a knockoff of a Donald Duck comic strip :P
