    Easily the best movie of the year by a wide margin, and also my second favorite Christopher Nolan film (behind only Memento), and I freaking loved The Prestige.

    Go see this movie.

    That's funny Isaiah. With my lady telling me the same thing and two guys got up and run out with probably 20 minutes left in the movie. It was a good movie. A little long but was enjoyable.

    I was so engrossed that I did not even remotely notice the length of the movie.

    I agree with Hook here, I was so into the movie it didn't feel like 2.5 hours.

    I wanted to see it this last weekend, but it was my wife's turn to pick so we ended up going to Dispicable Me:( It was ok, not as funny as I would have liked.

    I think we are gonna have to see it this weekend! Thanks for letting us know how goood you thought it was.

    I thought they could have shortened the ending a little bit. Don't get me wrong I liked the movie. I probably wouldn't watch it again (maybe 5 years from now) but I did enjoy it.

    Meh, I guess it was okay. The concept was cool, but the movie could have easily been at least 30 minutes shorter and accomplished the same thing. Kind of wish I had that 2.5 hours of my life back. Oh well.

    Everything I heard was negative. Too long, too much dialoque, terrible acting.... stupid story. Plot of a 10 year olds mind. I think that covers it. LOL

    Haha what? Like I said before, I didn't even notice the length of the movie.

    Too much dialogue? WTF? OMG they talk in the movie! Me don't walk talk! Me want giant explosions and robot balls! YEEHAW!

    Terrible acting? Stupid story? I would like to know the person who critiqued this movie favorite movies. I'm guessing Transformers and Pearl Harbor.

    And the plot of a 10 years old mind? I would like to meet this 10 year old that would come up with that plot. That would be a genius 10 year old.

    I personally do not see how somebody could not like this movie. Well, I guess I could see how idiots who think the more explosions, the better the movie would think Inception sucks.

    I would just consider the source on that one, Andrew. He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

    I'll probably see this movie (in a few years). We're not big movie-goers. And, I'm not a fan of sci-fi, as a general rule.

    No cut on the flick. Personal preference.

    The movie was not that great, Hook. Its ok if someone disagrees with you. I would rather watch a baseball game than watch that movie again.

    I still think the concept was good, but the movie was poorly executed. Especially between the last kicks. The first half was good, but the second half really dragged. Shorten it by 30 minutes, and you might have a decent flick. I kept waiting for some unpredictable ending that was going to "blow my mind" as the movie attendant put it. Instead, it was pretty predictable.

    I'm cool with someone thinking it's not that great, but saying it has the plot of a 10 year olds mind and bad acting is just absurd.

    I disagree with the second half dragging (obviously), I couldn't sit back in my seat I was so into the movie.

    I would really like to discuss the ending, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

    It's really not a sci-fi flick, I think you would enjoy this film.
