First Inception review is out (Peter Travers of Rolling Stone)

"The mind-blowing movie event of the summer arrives just in time to hold back the flow of Hollywood sputum that's been sliming the multiplex. 'Inception'...will be called many things, starting with James Bond Meets 'The Matrix.' You can feel the vibe of Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner' in it, and Nolan's own 'Memento' and 'The Dark Knight.' But 'Inception' glows with a blue-flame intensity all its own. Nolan creates a dream world that he wants us to fill with our own secrets. I can't think of a better goal for any filmmaker. Of course, trusting the intelligence of the audience can cost Nolan at the box office. We're so used to being treated like idiots. How to cope with a grand-scale epic, shot in six countries at a reported cost of $160 million, that turns your head around six ways from Sunday? Dive in and drive yourself crazy, that's how.''
he gave it a 3.5/4

After I saw the teaser for this last summer I told myself I would avoid anymore previews from this movie. And I've succeeded.I cannot wait for this movie. Anything Nolan does is incredible.

Peter Travers is a hard man to impress. He usually shits on mainstream movies

Nope not at all

I actually think the opposite about Travers. He 3-4 stars almost everything. But I stopped reading Rolling Stone a long time ago when I realized the magazine was more about their liberal agenda than music.
Regardless, I'm pumped for this movie. It's always nice to see some originality in mainstream moviies

This is so true. I can just hear my gf now asking me "wait, whats going on?" during the movie. Looks like I'm going to see this with dudes only.

Man nothing is worse than watching a movie like this with someone who can't pick up on subtleties or follow the plot.
Posted on 6/28/10 at 9:31 am to Rickety Cricket
Yeah, thats what I love about lost. its sooo deep and hard to understand that only smart people "get it" and the idiots just sit around wanting it spoonfed to them. pshaaa

Watching a movie like this a second time with someone who has yet to see it. they ask a question every 30 secs
Posted on 6/28/10 at 9:36 am to Rickety Cricket
I can't stand people that ask what's going on when it's clear you aren't supposed to know/understand everything that's going on yet. Shut up, pay attention, and watch the movie.

used my fake press credentials to see an advanced screening on the 13th

Yeah, thats definitely not true. Travers is well known to be an easy mark for studios wanting to get early press out. So a lot of times they will let reviewers like him leak a review and all others are embargoed.
Anyway, I can't freaking wait for this film.

Travers thumbs up can be had for an interview and free coffee. The guy is a schill.

You damn Lost fans and your intellectual elitism
