People need to realise that nothing in hollywood this days is original, everything is just recycled, your just paying con artists to watch shit you have already seen lol
Also ( i might be very wrong, but i'm too lazy to confirm it ), the finger knives that the antagonist has in one scene was before 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' came out. This movie is nothing to make jokes about, that's what Dennis Quaid's later career is for. :) jk DQ you rock man! (when not in movies called 'Frequency')
i don´t care if inception rip off stuff from this movie! I just wan´t to know if this is a good movie or not!? But you people start fighting with coments and that is the most stupid thing people can do on youtube! But it´s stronger than you, isn´t? It´s not your fault if you people already born stupid and live your lives like you aren´t. but you are. you just have to read your coment´s.
Sounds awesome, this came out at the same time as Elm Street. That's kickass you saw this in theaters when you were 4 years old, Paprika and Inception are still great movies right?
@Johnlindsey289 Yeah, the Snakeman really freaked me out when i saw this in the theater and i even had a nightmare about him as a kid. lol. Parika and Inception are great movies, but they owe a lot to this film as well as others such as Dark City and The Matrix.
sounds about right, grumpy old people trying to teach us whippersnappers how the world was... thinking we all hang out at starbucks, god i hope i'm not as sorry as you in 40 years.
Look at it this way, Inception was about using dreams to plant ideas and coerce people when they are conscious. Dreamscape was about conquering fears and using the dream to either save the person's life or assassinate them.
Inception before Inception. And, to be honest, a lot more fun. I loved when Dennis Quaid helped the little boy through his Snake Man nightmare. Big time fun!!
Not if you factor in technology !! Dreamscape was "old school" and has a better story line.... Ineption was all about special effects and basically a bad movie...
I must have waited 30 minutes for that van to fall into the water !!
I would not waste another 10 bucks on that mess of a movie ..Not to mention that endless dumbass scene in the SNOW !!!! What was that all about ...
The only good scene was the 5 people wrapped in wire and floating to safety..
Yes, because they share one common theme, entering dreams, Inception is ripping this off. Inception is also ripping off A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scott Pilgrim (because Romona Skates through Scott's dreams in the graphic novel), and various television shows which feature characters entering the dreams of others: Sabrina the Teen-aged witch, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Power Rangers, and etc.
if you dreamscape fans HATE Inception, you should hate the Cell, Paprika, Total Recall, The Matrix and Dark City because those movies inspired that movie and they have similar idea to Dreamscape as well!
@juliusyeung0330 that's like saying, if you like the beatles then you HAVE to like a load of other shit bands around today because they were directly inspired by the beatles. I like total recall and dark city, they're tight, well written satisfying movies, but i don't like inception. each movie should be judged on it's own. it isn't the idea that makes the movie, it's the direction, the cinematography, the writing, the structure, the atmosphere, the actors and the music
@juliusyeung0330 well not really, you coudl love some of those movies, but still not like inception. alot of movies play around with the ideas of dreams, but you can love the matrix and the cell but still hate inception, because it comes down to whats a better movie, and the cell, the matrix are better movies than inception. the idea of inception wasnt original, and it wasnt all the good of a movie. But it depends on what you like, what your preference is.
My reasons why Inception's dream sequences and action scenes work is because I care about who was being chased and who will succeed. I cared for the characters, and because of that, the dream sequences and action scenes were exciting. If you didn't care about the characters, which you didn't, then yes, you will be bored and you were bored.
and have you even watched my link? Christopher Nolan explains and talks about the movies and books which influenced his movie
It seems like you clearly don't see the point of Inception.
Inception has it's own mythology. Matrix too. and both movies are about the story of the main character. the journey, their adventure. Inception is about a man who wants to get back to his family but to do this, he has to do one last job to see his family again.
Matrix is about a hero who must save the human race from the machines.
Inception is sort of a remake of THE UNFORGIVEN mixed with sci fi movies
once again, I agree half with the older movies having better effects than now. but Dreamscape had such bad effects! and I've watched Siskel and Ebert's reviews and they totally bashed the 80s cults and a lot of movies.
the effects were horrid!
but then again, I will also say that they had better effects.
I thought ray harry houser??'s efects were creepy and awesome.
nightmare's effects was great
but the best special effects I've seen in my life is 2001 space odyssey. I couldn't believe my eyes
I agree with that before my generation, there were more good movies and also better. and I agree that most movies today are shit but the reasons most 80s and 70s horror fans or sci fi geeks make are because nowdays we have CGI and they hated CGI.
seriously? that's their reasons why they hate mordern movies?
How about Curious Case of Benjamin Button? Forest Gump? Bourne series???
@juliusyeung0330 - Really, no CG? Some of friends told me about that movie. There are definitely plenty of modern movies that are really good. It doesn't matter what decade it is. Whether movies get "better" overtime is a matter of opinion. Everyone has a different opinion about what's "better". There are just certain styles of filmmaking special effects you don't see much today. I like special effects, just not when they're used in place of good writing.
Freddy Kruger and the Nightmare franchise was influenced by a newspaper article about a teen aged boy who was killed while sleeping and his parents found pills and coffee machines under his bed so that he would not sleep again. and FREDDY was influenced by a drunken man on street which frightened Wes Craven and the name was from a bully who bullyed Wes.
This movie, just happens to be a little similar to Inception...
Inception was good, I guess, I'm trying to figure out if I liked it or not. Beautifully shot, well acted, and well written (Maybe overly written). That being said, if you want to see a real twisted movie about dreams, you can do no better than this. Dreamscape!!!
District 9 is the only big budget sci-fi film of recent years worth mentioning. Inception was boring, utterly humourless, filled with pseudo intellectual exposition, contradictions and plot holes [has christopher nolan ever even had a dream?]. Avatar looked like a toy advert and had the narrative to match. I hope in years to come it will be district 9 that's remembered. As for dreamscape....good movie
I really liked that movie in 3D but the fans were too fucking stupid
but I have to disagree with you on INCEPTION
Inception was well written and well acted.
your reasons are only the personal problems you had with the movie.
I don't find ANY sci fi movie intelligent. it might have a great idea. interesting one but it never is intelligent. I think thrillers and spy movies are intelligent but anyway, you also said that the movie had...
@randolphbooth the movie had lots of plot holes. what plot holes? I would like to know your review on this movie. not a rant. a good review of Inception
Inception being boring to you is a personal thing.
I would like to know more on what you think of Inception. Why do you hate it?
and even if you hate it, you should still support that movie.
Inception was one of the only original block busters movies that came out the past 2 years.
Inception would teach hollywood that people are tired of sequels and bad movies. it's success and support will tell hollywood that audiences want sensible, well written and well directed movies.
and also D9 was not a big budget sci fi film. It was pretty cheap but great
It was similar to AVATAR ( the story and humans being the stronger ones ) but much better.
@juliusyeung0330 there are hordes of intelligent sci-fi movies, you just have to look for them ['moon' as a recent example...or my favourite sci-fi 'videodrome']. The writing in inception is poor, i'm sorry but it is. it's clunky and functional, allowing little character development and focusses largely on explaining the mechanics of the 'dreamworld' to the audience instead of allowing it to breath for itself....
@juliusyeung0330 ...... A guy once said of cinema "show, don't tell" and i have to agree with him. I can't remember a single line from inception and given that it's nearly three hours long i find that quite telling. I'm not that bothered if hollywood dies a death to be honest, european and, increasingly, asian cinema offers much more variety, better writing and more daring offerings than hollywood ever did or will....
@randolphbooth - Yeah. One really magical and enchanting film in recent years I saw was MirrorMask, but it came from Great Britain. The only promising talent from America (or Canada, I'm not sure) was David Lynch. He made really haunting, brutally immersive films for a period, but now his movies are just random babble to me. Hours of pure nothing.
@juliusyeung0330 I didn't say hitchcock was GOD of cinema and you've misinterpreted the quote completely. Pulp Fiction contains 'dialogue', not loose exposition. show don't tell doesn't mean 'don't have any dialogue' it means don't use dialogue to constantly tell the audience the narrative of the film.
man just seen the previews of this new move it might be called dream scape but it looks just like this cant wait o yea DONT WAST YOUR MONEY ON PREDATER
@potcatworldsend NO scenes in Inception were inspired by Paprika. Inception was written 5 years before Paprika came out. Do your research, douche bag!
NO you retard, Chris Nolan was writing the story for 10 years! He wasn't like friggin James Cameron who wrote AVATAR 10 years ago and making the movie so outdated.
He was influenced by Paprika, Matrix, 13th floor, Nightmare on Elmstreet 3, Dark City and Blade Runner.
but the MAJOR influence he had was Clint Eastwood's UNFORGIVEN
@ScreamBloodyGwar - Avatar is the same as tons of different computer animated films. Ya know why people love listening to the commentary on Star Wars movies from the 70's?? Because we love hearing all the amazing and brilliant ways they came up with the special effects we see in the film. What can commentary say about films today. Oh, we clicked a mouse and the computer got it working.
"auteurship"? Um.. Assuming you mean authorship, I think there's plenty of critics that would disagree with you there. I didn't particularly enjoy the subtle political views being thrust upon me during Avatar, but despite my beef with its message the genius of it can't be denied.
I think you might be romanticizing some pseudo-nostalgia there-- Dreamscape was fun and all back in it's day- But for a movie that's heavily based on effects and has very little substance, Dreamscape is a mediocre movie. Don't get me wrong, it's a classic-- but let's be real here.
Rofl. Oh yeah, they sure were. It's my least favorite show on the planet, but have you ever watched Mystery Science Theater 3000?
I see right through you. You are a little kid who wants to be special and old school, so you say that old movies were better! XD
No, they're not, worse plots, worse acting, worse music, way worse image, should I go on? Worse effects, of course, retarded camera positions, crappy sound, boring conversations, longer than needed, stupid trailers,
So then suddenly we are on the same page, and the 80s can't compete with modern movies in any way at all. No, I didn't care for the Godfather. It was long and really, really boring. It was so boring.
... stupid cliches that have already been a thousand times in books, no scientific knowledge of what people want to see, once again: CRAPPY actors, retarded monsters, and that is about it.
While the new Inception, for example, is perfect. Perfect with no "But" at all, it couldn't possibly be better. Neither could Lord of the Rings or Pirates OTC.
This, this SUCKS. You are like those wannabe special people who say "MODERN GAMES SUCK! REAL GAMERS PLAY MARIO!"
... in reality, people who play Mario have NO LIFE. I am no modernist or Halo fanboy, but enough is enough. Don't exaggerate the wannabe-special feeling you are so desperate to achieve. (If you haven't already seen them:) You WILL love Inception, you WILL love LOTR, you WILL love POTC, Matrix, Sherlock, Shutter Island, you know, new, GOOD films.
My friend was like you. Then he went too far and said: "Pong is the best game ever, you noob!". That's when he realized he was a retard.
Most retarded comment ever... So having advanced special effects and animation as opposed to rubber suits PROHIBITS showing imagination? Rofl... No, it requires MORE imagination to show modern special effects and animations. "Old phones were much better than cell phones."
It's not like that. Things evolve, and they always evolve to the better.
@MagnusRulerHardt - Many film buffs agree that many of today's movies seem to come off a cookie cutter. The same styles of computer animation are used time and time again. When films have low budgets and pass off special effects well, THAT'S an accomplishment!
You can just continuing deceiving yourself like that to feel special. Deep inside you know you LOVE modern movies, especially Inception, because it was both visually awesome, the plot was awesome and the acting was awesome. It was all awesome. The music was awesome. Everything.
While here, there are people in rubber suits walking around trying to convince me that they're scary monsters.
@MagnusRulerHardt - Dude, get a life. I have a preference about movies, that's all. This isn't a political discussion, ok? I don't think Inception is a cookie-cutter film. I haven't even seen it.
Political?! I mentioned politics?! Rofl! Excuse me (even though I never did).
You can't think shit of Inception before you've seen it. I am good at psychology, and I see right through you. You say you like old movies better because it makes you feel special. It's not something always know yourself, but you feel it deep inside, a modern super budget movie exceeds any old super budget movie by far. Why? Because it's new. New > Old, everything evolves to the better.
@MagnusRulerHardt - Use your brain, little dude. You're ACTING like this is a political discussion. It's called an "expression". Seriously, do you really have nothing better to do than rant like a prick about a movie?
And just accept that this movie sucks balls and that you only "like" it to be special.
With 3 monitors and a really good computer, I have loads of stuff to do at once ;) I can rant on this shit movie and your horrible taste while doing loads of other stuff, like writing books and composing music.
@MagnusRulerHardt - Ouch, writing books and composing music! How exciting. I'm probably going to sit here all night being jealous of you. Hahaha.
I never said I liked this movie in the first place, you know. I said I liked movies from the 80's because many of them are classics that didn't require CG effects to be amazing looking.
@MagnusRulerHardt - Hahahahaha! What the hell are you babbling about? Failed at what?? Having an opinion about movies?? Oh no! My opinion about movies is wrong?? Get a life, you prick.
On the political thing ;) This has nothing to do with politics, nor does it sound like a political conversation, nor is it a saying of any kind.
You also failed at having an opinion. I see right through you, you are a hypocrite who only likes what makes you feel special.
Yep, writing books and composing. Yeah, I know, pretty pathetic thing at being talented at, right? I know, all I can do is make music, I mean... I don't think being a composer pays well at all. Big time sarcasm.
@MagnusRulerHardt - Well I'll keep a look out for your coloring book when it comes out in stores. I just hope it comes with watercolor and paint brushes attached.
My opinion is that CG is often a crutch to take viewers' minds off the fact that the writing is bullocks. Avatar was just another mindless subliminal anti-military film, with nothing original to say, coated with mindless formulaic CGI action. Here's another opinion. Learn how to speak coherently and increase your vocabulary.
Do you really need to send two comments when one doesn't have any arguments in it? This is what I mean, you can't come up with arguments. You just send comments like that last one.
But this first one was something, though. I never said I like Avatar. I hated Avatar. I loved Inception because it has both awesome looks (unlike this shitty ass movie), good acting, awesome story and music. It has everything, and Inception makes brains explode. This piece of crap is a piece of crap.
@MagnusRulerHardt - You're a condescending twat. And nobody takes twats seriously. Much like a duck, it's best to leave you to quack alone and continue to entertain yourself. : )
And you seem to have run out of arguments. In fact, it seems we agree pretty much as you have slowly changed your point of view. But just because I find the Godfather soooooooooo fuuuuckiiiing booooooooring doesn't give you a reason to get pissed, it just makes you a sadder person. What pisses ME off is hypocrites, like my friend who said that pong is the best game ever made (first game*).
@juliusyeung0330 - Of course not. I judge movies based no whether their interesting or not. Jurassic Park is an example of a movie sold almost strictly on special effects alone. Now that those special effects are not so amazing by today's standards, I'm noticing how bad the script was, as well as continuity errors.
Good writing is particularly what I judge movies on. But several of those movies are amazing to YOU. It's a personal preference.
@juliusyeung0330 - AVATAR was a barrage of special effects, and forgettable to me. I didn't care for watching a bunch of blue freaks flying around and bouncing off walls for 12 hours. The whole action formula has been done in multiple other movies. Same goes for Matrix and Lord of the Rings. Way too long, and nothing but special effects and formulaic fighting.
I think you missed my point entirely. I said special effects are often a crutch for creative writing. I love movies w/o CG too.

The writing and acting in this movie is WAY worse than Inception
You might argue that Inception ripped off this movie but it didn't
The idea very different
Inception's idea is a combination of Matrix, 13th Floor, Paprika, Dark City and Blade Runner. and probably this movie too but I doubt it.
When Chris Nolan was interviewed, he said he was influenced by Matrix on the idea of using a machine and entering a world together with other people.

Freddy Kruger and the Nightmare franchise was influenced by a newspaper article about a teen aged boy who was killed while sleeping and his parents found pills and coffee machines under his bed so that he would not sleep again. and FREDDY was influenced by a drunken man on street which frightened Wes Craven and the name was from a bully who bullyed Wes.
This movie, just happens to be a little similar to Inception...

Inception was good, I guess, I'm trying to figure out if I liked it or not. Beautifully shot, well acted, and well written (Maybe overly written). That being said, if you want to see a real twisted movie about dreams, you can do no better than this. Dreamscape!!!

District 9 is the only big budget sci-fi film of recent years worth mentioning. Inception was boring, utterly humourless, filled with pseudo intellectual exposition, contradictions and plot holes [has christopher nolan ever even had a dream?]. Avatar looked like a toy advert and had the narrative to match. I hope in years to come it will be district 9 that's remembered. As for dreamscape....good movie

Inception being boring to you is a personal thing.

and even if you hate it, you should still support that movie.

but it didn't have a lot of support.
Inception would teach hollywood that people are tired of sequels and bad movies. it's success and support will tell hollywood that audiences want sensible, well written and well directed movies.
and also D9 was not a big budget sci fi film. It was pretty cheap but great
It was similar to AVATAR ( the story and humans being the stronger ones ) but much better.
juliusyeung0330 1 year ago
@juliusyeung0330 there are hordes of intelligent sci-fi movies, you just have to look for them ['moon' as a recent example...or my favourite sci-fi 'videodrome']. The writing in inception is poor, i'm sorry but it is. it's clunky and functional, allowing little character development and focusses largely on explaining the mechanics of the 'dreamworld' to the audience instead of allowing it to breath for itself....

MOON was VERY intelligent. Yes it is because the story is well structured and well.

@juliusyeung0330 ...... A guy once said of cinema "show, don't tell" and i have to agree with him. I can't remember a single line from inception and given that it's nearly three hours long i find that quite telling. I'm not that bothered if hollywood dies a death to be honest, european and, increasingly, asian cinema offers much more variety, better writing and more daring offerings than hollywood ever did or will....

@randolphbooth - Yeah. One really magical and enchanting film in recent years I saw was MirrorMask, but it came from Great Britain. The only promising talent from America (or Canada, I'm not sure) was David Lynch. He made really haunting, brutally immersive films for a period, but now his movies are just random babble to me. Hours of pure nothing.

I'm actually Korean :P
Most Korean movies and European movies are better than most american blockbusters because our movies have better drama and heart.
I think Hitchcock said "show, don't tell" but he isn't GOD of all cinema!
and that quote is wrong beacause if it was true, then the quoter would be indirectly saying that Pulp Fiction is a terrible movie
juliusyeung0330 1 year ago
@juliusyeung0330 I didn't say hitchcock was GOD of cinema and you've misinterpreted the quote completely. Pulp Fiction contains 'dialogue', not loose exposition. show don't tell doesn't mean 'don't have any dialogue' it means don't use dialogue to constantly tell the audience the narrative of the film.

My opinion is that CG is often a crutch to take viewers' minds off the fact that the writing is bullocks. Avatar was just another mindless subliminal anti-military film, with nothing original to say, coated with mindless formulaic CGI action. Here's another opinion. Learn how to speak coherently and increase your vocabulary.

Now that those special effects are not so amazing by today's standards, I'm noticing how bad the script was, as well as continuity errors.
Good writing is particularly what I judge movies on. But several of those movies are amazing to YOU. It's a personal preference.

@juliusyeung0330 - AVATAR was a barrage of special effects, and forgettable to me. I didn't care for watching a bunch of blue freaks flying around and bouncing off walls for 12 hours. The whole action formula has been done in multiple other movies. Same goes for Matrix and Lord of the Rings. Way too long, and nothing but special effects and formulaic fighting.
