Because I think I went to a third alt ending that I haven't seen people talk about (though I'm sure they have), which negated the whole movie to begin with.<br /><br />Vicki, I think seeing it would be good - because on the big screen, the effects are amazing. But, yeah, be prepared to get into trying to work things out.

I loved the details, and the levels of details, and the uberlevels of details. (Hell, I'm part of the 0.00001% of the population that still defends Lost.)<br /><br />I just didn't like the despondency of it all. <br /><br />No matter how you decide to take the ending (and I took it the non-happy way), there's a definite sadness and hopelessness about everything. No matter what, things in the end turn out somewhat badly for all involved. Even if you take it in the happiest, successful way possible. It's still a sad story.<br /><br />Like Schindler's List (I know, fiction and non-fiction cannot be adequately compared, and this analogy in inappropriate on many other levels, too): yes, he saved a ton of people, but excuse me, did you catch all those piles of bodies through-out the rest of the film? <br /><br />Also: I get really, really physiologically involved in these kind of movies, and my heart was pounding out of my little chest the entire time. The next day? Heart still racing. I don't enjoy the feeling of dread, and Inception threw a big wet blanket of it over me through the whole movie and the rest of my weekend. The only other movies I've felt like that during were Panic Room and Alpha Dog. Wouldn't watch those again.<br /><br />But I also truly loved the movie and would recommend it to anyone. Like you said: visuals, effects, acting, locations, sets, script... everything was amazing. I hope it wins a ton of awards. :)<br /><br />Sorry it bothered your noggin, though. :(The Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09969936209544457698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344344685212565058.post-46717295154322386622010-08-07T08:28:35.790-04:002010-08-07T08:28:35.790-04:00You an me are likethis on this topic.

I have delayed seeing Inception for just this reason, plus I still think the plot sounds like that old Dennis Quaid film and that one wasn't too thinky, so I'm sticking with it.Vickinoreply@blogger.com
