This trailer was attached to Iron Man 2 here.

It's the first good look at Inception and it looks awesome. Could be the best movie of the summer given Nolan's past work (not just Dark Knight, but stuff closer to this like Momento). The look of the trailer reminds me of Momento mixed with Dark City and the Matrix. Surreal and sure to be somewhat confusing on a first view.

Hell yes this could be the best of the summer indeed. Love Nolan, love Leo. My computer wouldn't load that webpage properly, so here's another link in case anyone else has the same problem.

Aside from the new Woody Allen, this is the movie I am looking forward to most this year. Should be great!

July 16th can't come soon enough. This summer hasn't exactly been stellar, and Nolan is the one thing that can bring me out to a theater.

Yeah, this one looks like it may be interesting. I like most things that open up consciousness speculation.

I really want to see this in the theater. Dana and I don't go to nearly as many movies now that we have Liam. I tried to tell her last night that he goes to bed at 8pm and doesn't make a sound until 7am the next morning. We could sneak out and he wouldn't know the difference. I mean the dog would be there if anything seriously went wrong. She was not impressed.

My buddy was a 2nd unit director on this. He said it will be ridiculously awesome.

I'm avoiding any trailer viewings - want to go in dry.

I told her we can leave a cell phone open in his room then she can call it and leave it on after he goes to sleep. When we are at the movie theater she can have her earpiece in one ear to hear if he's making any noise. Its like a long distance baby monitor. The theater is like 3 minutes from the house, what's the big deal?

Is Christopher Nolan the new Stanley Kubrick? :canofworms:

That's such an impossible comparison to make. But, I will say in a world minus one Stanley Kubrick, I'm glad we have added one Christopher Nolan.

Style wise I don't think they are even close to the same thing. Stanley's near OCD level of obsession has yet to be matched, nor will be in my opinion. You can see Kubrick influence in Nolan for sure, but you can see that influence in a ton of directors.

This will be the first time I've been to the movies two weekends in a row since probably middle school. Very excited to see this, and preparing for a potential mindfuck.

Best movie I have seen in a long time. This movie lived up to every possible expectation I had for it.

This movie is to those already harboring slight paranoia as death by chocolate is to those with diabetes. Good movie.

sometimes the line between mindfuck and confused mess is pretty fine. I've seen some reviews that say it's one and some that its the other. Guess i'll have to go see for myself. I'm interested to see if anyone DOESN'T like it.

I thought the storyline was really easy to follow. If you could follow Memento, then you can follow this.

Agree. In fact, exposition can be tedious at points. The turmoil generated in this movie isn't based on narrative confusion but rather in the little tugs on the tricks of waking consciousness and faulty memory.
