it was ok, nothing special. the concept was interesting.

It was just a rip-off of the David Cronenberg movie 'Videodrome'.

Inception is a great film but it's getting a lot of attention due to people, on a mass scale, who wouldn't normally go to see an intelligent film are rating it so high.

I think it proves that you can make a film with a major Hollywood blockbuster budget without dumbing it down.

Should be seen in the cinema. If you get the chance do so before it stops playing. I may go for a second viewing tomorrow myself.

My advice to anyone thinking of paying to watch this movie at a cinema is 'don't waste your money'. If you think you need to see it then download it instead.

Either that, or just watch David Cronenberg's films 'Videodrome' and/or 'eXistenZ' instead, as they both came before Inception, both roughly follow the same concept, and are better.

Yeah. I figured there was no reason to continue sitting there looking at the screen in front of me as I had absolutely no interest in what was gonna happen to any of the one-dimensional characters in the film. The concept of the movie wasn't clever, or original, and the movie just reeked of something that had had a ton of money chucked at it. I figured I'd get more out of watching two flies fucking.

Only the second time I've walked out in the middle of a film.

Great quirky humor!

Saw Town last night, it was real good! The plot was decent and the characters were enjoyable to watch.Theater was packed too, which was kinda surprising since the movie's been out for about a month.

FenwayFaithful have u seen this yet? You should scene with Fenway Park in it at the end.

Just watched this. It's a good one:

God Grew Tired of Us

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32IxyvoSZKo

From Wiki:

God Grew Tired of Us is a 2006 documentary film about three of the "Lost Boys of Sudan", a group of some 25,000 young men who have fled the wars in Sudan since the 1980s, and their experiences as they move to the United States. The film was written and directed by Christopher Dillon Quinn. Tom Walker was a co-director.

God Grew Tired Of Us chronicles the arduous journey of three young Southern Sudanese men, John Bul Dau, Daniel Pach and Panther Bior, to the United States where they strive for a brighter future. As young boys in the 1980s, they had walked a thousand miles to escape their war-ridden homeland, and then had to make another arduous journey to escape Ethiopia.

During the five years they walked in search of safety, thousands died from starvation, dehydration, bomb raids and genocidal murder. Finally, they found relative safety in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp. In 2001, 3,600 lost boys, including John, Daniel and Panther, were invited by the United States to live in America. Assisted by Catholic Charities International, the three boys uproot their lives and once again embark on a journey, leaving behind thousands of other refugees who, in the course of their traumatic odyssey, have become their adopted extended family. They must now learn to adapt to the shock of being thrust into the economically intense culture of the United States, learning new customs, adapting to new and strange foods, coping with the ordeal of getting, and keeping a job, or multiple jobs, while never forgetting the loved ones they left behind in Africa. They dedicate themselves to doing whatever they can to help those they left behind in Kakuma, and to discovering the fate of their parents and family.

God Grew Tired Of Us was produced, written and directed by Christopher Quinn, executive produced by Brad Pitt and narrated by Nicole Kidman. The title of the documentary is a quote from John Dau discussing the despair he and other Sudanese felt during the civil war.
