Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2010.07.27 22:48:00 - [31] Inception, interesting concept, so-so execution. Like the man said, wouldn't the largest two energy tychoons in the world spot eachother on a plane? So they hid the airline takeover with dummy fronts and snuck Saito onboard, sure but a little snippet telling or showing this would go a long way. like someone else said, it doesn't hold a candle to Vanilla Sky or Matrix for that matter.

Vogue Skynet Nexus	Posted - 2010.07.27 22:49:00 - [32] Edited by: Vogue on 27/07/2010 22:51:35 I think the spinning top was supposed to represent that reality is what we perceive and the main 'reality' in the film was not that different or exclusive from the dreams - there are many world(s). I liked the 2001 A Space Odessey metaphor with the old man in a room. Matrix was an awesome film but sadly the sequels did not expand much beyond the first films ideas. I remember watching the first film and been totally blown away when Neo awoke in his battery\living pod. The Animatrix was very good though. ..................................................

Grek Forto Malevolent Intentions Dark Solar Empire	Posted - 2010.07.27 22:55:00 - [33] Edited by: Grek Forto on 27/07/2010 22:55:05 Originally by: Slade Trillgon Originally by: brutoid So.... would the spinning top stop spinning? That was also another weak aspect of the movie. When he spoke of the spinning top originally he said that it would not fall. Then at the very end it started to wobble and they cut it off like that was supposed to create some suspense. But to all who know anything about physics, know that for it to start to wobble means it is losing inertia and therfore will fall over, thus meaning that it was not a dream. Slade But if it was a dream the laws of physics might not apply

But if it was a dream the laws of physics might not apply Hence why it should stay up if it was a dream. One could say that his subconscious casued it to start to wobble because he wanted him to belive that he was not dreaming. Which fits right in line with what Vogue says below Originally by: Vogue Edited by: Vogue on 27/07/2010 22:51:35 I think the spinning top was supposed to represent that reality is what we perceive and the main 'reality' in the film was not that different or exclusive from the dreams - there are many world(s). :Signature Temporarily Disabled:
Halcyon Ingenium Caldari Bene Gesserit ChapterHouse	Posted - 2010.07.28 05:37:00 - [36] Originally by: AlleyKat Originally by: Halcyon Ingenium Originally by: AlleyKat waffles I ask myself the same question when watching others play chess. The answer is actually simple. I play chess to take the King in the least number of moves as possible; not to take every piece in rank order because it happens to be on the board. Characters who make decisions to take a course of action which is wildly contrived and go against our natural instinctsÆ make for poor characters as an audience will have a lack of empathy towards them. It is human nature to take the shortest path to achieve a goal, not the longest. This is because we are designed not to expend more energy than the object or goal yields. Why do you think people playing EVE concern themselves with the balance of risk versus reward? Is it worth spending 4 hours camping Jita 4-4 for predatory cargo? Or is it worth me campaign a gate in no-mans-land between 2 alliances, on the off-chance that some unlucky hauler with no backup jumps in, on their way to drop off ammo for the front lines? Think about it: we are predators at heart, and no one would go to all of the trouble that one of the main characters did to eliminate a business threat, with that much risk involved. Film is great, but the theory behind the story design is poorly executed. AK If every player saw every possible move perfectly, and was perfectly rational, then this argument would be valid. Trolls? In my EVE forums? It's more likely than you think...

Marconus Orion D00M. Excessum Messor	Posted - 2010.07.28 11:00:00 - [38] The story is designed so you see what you want to see, as far as how you think the ending is. There are things throughout the film that support the theory that he is dreaming. There is also things that support the theory that he is not dreaming, that it is real. It's just like a horoscope, you read it, and whatever it says is planted in your head. So you spend the rest of the day looking for reasons to support what it said. So just enjoy the film and believe what you want to believe.
Sokratesz	Posted - 2010.07.28 15:07:00 - [39] I liked it. Awesome film, and another great performance by Leo (blood diamond / catch me if you can) á I think CSM is a pretty cool guy. eh creates e-drama and doesnt afraid of anything.
Zedic Amarr Universalis Imperium	Posted - 2010.07.29 06:48:00 - [40] Edited by: Zedic on 29/07/2010 06:50:59 Originally by: AlleyKat some crap Bzzzt Wrong. If people behave in less than upright ways in a place where they think there are no consequences (i.e. Eve) then most likely - they would do the same IRL if they could get away with it. It's rather simple. If you're capable of behaving morally in a world where there are [seemingly] no consequences for abandoning morality - then you most likely do not harbor scumbag tendencies. But, if you behave like a scumbag in a virtual world because you feel the need to "let out your pent up frustrations", or exercise your hidden tendencies and self - you're most likely a latent scumbag IRL. As for Inception: It was ***ing Amazing. I knew something was up once he'd cleared customs though... :) edit: quote tags suck "Zedic, would probably, somehow, make it all blow up."* - Akima

Vogue Skynet Nexus	Posted - 2010.07.29 12:09:00 - [42] I thinklLaw abiding middle class folk like films like Reservoir Dogs as they can imagine being in a world where they can be reckless aggresive and bold which their regular safe\somewhat tedious lives does not allow. ..................................................

Indimiel	Posted - 2010.07.29 15:40:00 - [43] I think this movie tried a little too hard to be epic, and felt oh-so-desperate to market "clever" to people who may not be able to follow actual plot twists. My main issue was the music. They started with the super-intense tune about 40 minutes before the movie end, which made it come off like Lancelot running towards the guards in Monty Python. I also didn't like di Caprio, but I am starting to suspect that is actually a personal thing. I just struggle to find him believable. He became just a guy who used to be somebody reading lines when they tried to sell him as a tough mercenary in Blood Diamond, and in this movie in particular I found him very jarring, shocking me out of my suspension of disbelief to see an actor instead of a character. Eames went some way to make up for it, with a most admirable force of personality, but they neglected to make him the lead. It was ok, and I think largely it's getting all this attention because this has been a really really bad year for movies, with tired remakes and weak sequels everywhere. Also: why the hell did weightlessness transfer from 1 to 2, but not from 2 to 3?!

Zedic Amarr Universalis Imperium	Posted - 2010.07.29 22:46:00 - [45] Originally by: AlleyKat No. Yes. Originally by: Slade stuff about "roleplay". Morally upright people do not roleplay being evil. You're either good or your not. You'd either lie, steal and cheat - or you won't. "Zedic, would probably, somehow, make it all blow up." - Akima

So me, someone that voluntarily works for a non-profit rehabilitation hospital, who does a lot for inner city youth, and all around nice guy, is morally bankrupt becuase I have played evil characters in a role play settings? Either way, I am typically true nutral when I role play. I like the gray area Slade :Signature Temporarily Disabled:

That actually bothered me less when I thought "where's this guys personal security?". He's inherited the largest energy corporation in the world that's soon to create a global monopoly and yet he's on a plane alone with a bunch of strangers (some of whom are wanted criminals). Although in the end I really enjoyed the film, I just hated the way he had to try and make the final scene ambiguous just for the hell of it.
edtheshed Fusion Enterprises Ltd Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2010.07.30 10:31:00 - [50] saw it yesterday amaaaaazing i wish i dream of a military snow bases all the time now
Vogue Skynet Nexus	Posted - 2010.07.30 10:41:00 - [51] Yeah when the film switched to the snow base I was like wut! the film has turned into Call Of Duty MW2 lol. .................................................. Cylon cultural victor!

Bluefix Gnu Terror Corps	Posted - 2010.07.30 21:14:00 - [55] Just watched the movie and it was definately good... but not THAT good. Loved the weithless scenes and dont have any real complaints. I just thought the movie would be more complicated and expected some twist or something that never came. But maybe I'm influenced by high expectations. In either case it's still a pretty good movie
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2010.07.31 09:54:00 - [56] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 31/07/2010 10:06:43 Originally by: Slade Trillgon Originally by: brutoid So.... would the spinning top stop spinning?

But to all who know anything about physics, know that for it to start to wobble means it is losing inertia and therfore will fall over, thus meaning that it was not a dream. Slade Without it starting to wobble, it would not have been so obvious that it was not a dream, specially after all the trips between dream levels. I did not think it was complex, but things occurred at a rapid pace so it was important to pay attention while watching. Personally I spent most of my time thinking about weather the effects were realistic in relation to the depth of the dream levels and time slowing down and such things... I will see it again when it comes on DVD. I dont think this movie was better than Matrix 1 at all, but thats just my perception of it. Edit: I was also expecting a twist... I was thinking about the possibility of Mal being alive after watching the movie for a while. She knew what Cobbs item to verify weather or not it was a dream looked like, so she could have created a dream where Cobb would have been completely fooled. But alas, no such twist. Or any twist really. --

It's rather simple. No its really not. You are projecting here and thinking everybody would do what you would do, or do what you believe others would do if given the chance. Its not that simple. People are very different underneath the surface. To make a point... you can take the characters from Lost. Would all of them do the same thing when confronted with the same situation? You can even take your family. Even them wouldnt do the same thing. :) --
Reiisha Evolution IT Alliance	Posted - 2010.08.03 22:51:00 - [58] Originally by: AlleyKat My point stands; Saito is billed to be a ruthless businessman, complete with goons/henchmen, ready to dispose of bodies on a whim. Would someone of this nature really spend some much effort and time on a chance that it might work? No evidence pointing to him. In a world where something like this is possible it's a very probable way of commiting the perfect crime. Why do it the messy way if you can make your opponent do exactly what you want with him truly believing that it's his idea? That said, i do see the plot hole of him sitting right next to Fischer, but that's about it. On the whole, it might have been worth the risk. After all, if it didn't work, assassination was always another option. "If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all"
Zedic Amarr Universalis Imperium	Posted - 2010.08.04 04:06:00 - [59] Originally by: Jim McGregor I'm wrong Ya rly! I'd say you were projecting. One is either evil or one is not. You don't get to "escape" to a pretend place where you behave in an evil fashion. If you do that here, given half a chance you'd do it IRL. It's why people do it here - because they can get away with it whereas IRL - they cannot. Spare me the morally grey crap. That's middle of the road shyte ~ and a cop out. Neutrality must fall!

I love LOVE LOVED Vanilla Sky but I also loved Inception. The way they portrayed the dreams within dreams was fascinating. Especially the explanation of how time works. Anyone else ever have a dream about dreaming? "Zedic, would probably, somehow, make it all blow up." - Akima
