  1. first of all I love I like watching a movie much.to most people think it is really confusing, but in actuality its really entertaining.if you really watch the movie you start to get engaged more and more every minute in the movie.in my honest opinion at first it was really confusing at the time but now I understand Leonardo DiCaprio's role in the movie.it is really interesting to see me in under Caprio's part in the movie because is really represent him in a dream world.I rate this movie a 9.we will see what happens in the rest of the movie we watched it

  2. I thought that the movie was confusing at times and I had to pay close attention to understand the movie.I love Leonardo Dicaprio...so that made the movie better I guess. There were so many details in the movie. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was when Cobb and the girl went into a dream and she made the world upside down.

    I hated the ending because it made you draw your own conclusion and they didnt completely tell you wether Cobb was dreaming or not. The top did wabble but we never saw it fall, so I think that it would have fallen but I'm not sure because I didnt see it fall with my own eyes. So, I thought that the ending was very annoying.

  4. The movie was great, interesting, mind-bottling, and complex at the same time. At the beginning, I was lost at first, but I began to understand it once we moved further into the movie. I liked the fact that a dreamer can have three to four dreams and they can create their own world together in limbo. The negative side of Limbo is that you can be there for years or decades.

    My interpretation of the movie is that if you are not living by truth, you always be in an fantasy, no matter how real it seems. In the end, I think the architect created a dream in limbo for Leonardo so he can be with his children. The proof of that this is a dream is because the pendulum didn't fall at the end of the movie.

  5. I liked the movie, and i thought it was good. Even though at times it got confusing, it was still interesting and really got me hooked. I liked the way the did the dreams, and the fact that you had to have your own little something for you to be able to notice if you are still dreaming or awake.

    The ending was weird and really confused, because t did.t really show if he was still dreaming, meaning he was still in limbo, or if he really was awake and back in the us. To me at the end it didn't really matter if he was dreaming or not, because he found his happiness and true ending that he was looking for, because all he really wanted was to be with his kids again, and at the end that's what he got.

  6. I actually liked the movie, it was different compared to the other movies we have watched and it actually kept me hooked. I think the whole idea behind the movie about extraction and inception was very unique compared to other movies out there which is why it was so breathtaking.

    I actually liked the ending, because I find movies that have an ending that you have to decide for yourself is interesting. I think he was still in a dream, because we never saw him wake up in the bus under water, and because it didn't make sense how everyone was in the airport when he got home, especially how the architect was working there.

  7. I liked this movie. It was different and it was very interesting, I liked it more than the other movies we have watched. It was confusing at times, but it still kept me hooked. One thing I liked about the movie was that you could create other dreams within a dream, and that if you died in the dream, you wouldn't die in reality. I really liked the movie.

    I liked the ending, it was also frustrating because you didn't know if he was dreaming or not. I also didn't like it because they stopped it where you would think it was about to fall, because it started to drop then they just cut it off, so you would have to make your own interpretation as to how it would end.

  8. This movie was very confusing. But it had my attention the whole time with all of the twist and the thrills in it. The one thing I like about the movie was the end, when we had to come up to our own conclusion to see if Cobb was still dreaming or not.

    The end was the best part of the movie. To me he was in reality because in the dreams the spinning top would never wobble but it did. So this had to be reality and not limbo.

  9. I thought that the movie was confusing at times and to fully understand the movie you had to pay close attention to understand it .I liked the action that was involved in with this movie. There were so many details in the movie. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was when Cobb was trying to convince his wife not to jump, it was suspenseful.

    The ending was very interesting and many people have their own personal ideas on whether it was reality or if he was still dreaming. I personally like movies like this that have you questioning on what happens in the end, so I liked the ending.

  10. I personally enjoyed the movie all the way. This movie challenges your mind to think and analyze the value of even the simplest of ideas. This movie in addition expresses the deep biblical truths. One being "We reap what we sow." (Galatians 6:7) and the other being "For as he thinketh in his heart, so he is." (Proverbs 23:7).

    The ending of the movie left me believing that Cobb finally made it home. The wobbliness of the top gives evidence that Cobb was actually living in the real word whereas in the dream world the top would keep a steady spin. With the course of how the movie was flowing, it would be highly unlikely that he would still be entrapped within a different level of his own subconscious.

  11. i thought this movie was very interesting, it was really confusing but it was good because it made you think. Sometimes I would be confused between weather they are in the dreams or the real world. some moments would get really action packed as well, like you would see some fights or sometimes moments with a lot of suspense.
    I honestly think that Cobb was back in the real world, normally when they would spin the top in the dream it would keep going but it kept going at the end but started to fall when it got wobbly so I think he finally made it home to see his kids.

  12. I thought the movie was very confusing, but it was also a very good movie. The movie really made you think about what was going. Personally I do not think that i would be able to go in and out of the dream world like that. The movie had it moment were it had alot of action and then had moments were it was very boring. The movie really challenged your mind to think deeper than whats on the surface. The ending really confused me. I want to hope that it was the real world and not the dream world, but I'm just not sure. Through out the whole movie they talk about this totem and how its suppose to help you see if you are dreaming or not. At the end of the movie, the totem never feel it did wobble but never completely fell over. So I think the young girl created a dream world that would give Cobb everything that he wanted.

    1) Great movie, I've already watched it four times. I hated how there was no bonus scene at the end of the credits explaining whether or not he was in a dream. I thought it was cool how they got Fischer to help them break into his own mind. I’m willing to watch it again to see if I catch anything else.

    2) I think that he officially woke up from all the dreams. Because In the dream world he would wear a wedding ring like Mal was still alive. But in the real world Mal was no longer alive so he took the ring off. I also think that since his kids in the dream world didn't age or change clothes, that when he was home and saw his kids they were slightly different. They were wearing different clothes and their hair was a little longer and shorter.

  14. I think the movie was amazing. It made me think if everything I believe in is true or if it just a dream. For all I know this is a dream and heaven is the actual reality. I though it was curious how they were able to extract information out of someone mind.
    My favorite part is where they are planting an idea instead of extracting information and when he get to see his kids faces finally.

    My interpretation of the end of the movie is it was very interesting. It left you just hangong there because you did not see the totem fall or not. I personally think that it is reality because int the dreams he could not see his kids faces. You could also hear the totem start to shake.

  15. The movie was excellent. It really makes you think long and hard about the boundaries, and where persuasion is going too far. The attention to detail in the making was astounding, and I really appreciated a lot of the psychology behind it. You can tell the producers put a lot of thought into the movie.

    As for the ending, it is very confusing, but I'm pretty sure I've got an easter egg. The top is his wife's totem, and you never see his. If you look closely, he doesn't wear his wedding ring when he's awake. But in the dream world, his wife is still alive, so there it is. At the very end, there is no wedding ring. I think it's his totem, and that he was awake.

  16. Excellent movie. It gives a possible look on what can happen in the mind and also what I believe may happen to people who go into commas. The detail in the movie scenes was amazing. The movie also showed how the simplest of persuasive ideas can have great consequences.

    The ending might have been confusing and a cliff hanger, but the main character in my eyes is in the real world for in every dream scene he has a wedding ring but in the real world he doesn't. In the last scene he didn't have a wedding ring on so it is either a very good dream limbo or he is in the real world.

  17. i personally love the movie, and i love the imaginative and facts they used in the movie. the very fine detail and the plot twists and the thinking i love about the movie. it shows how people can easily get carried away also. when an idea is thought of it can't be erased i always thought that was pretty interesting.

    the ending makes people mad and is confusing, my thoughts on it is that he is still in limbo because he couldn't get back home and he wanted to be with his kids and be happy and the only way he knew how that could happen would be in the dream world and he wants to keep it that way

  18. I thought that the movie was really good but you have to stay into what is happening with all of the changing things throughout the movie.I never really watched the end but I heard they went back to the limbo to rescue the other teammates and he cant tell if he is in limbo or in the real world.It ties in to how confusing the movie is and how you have to stay focused on everything that is happening

  19. I personally adored this movie! I already knew it was going to be a good movie when I saw that Leonardo DiCaprio was in it and it beat my expectations. I had heard that this story was really hard to follow and in the beginning, I was only confused for a second but it was easy when you started to understand the different aspects of the movie. I thought that the idea of the totem was really interesting and how you could construct certain things inside of a dream - I thought that was pretty cool too.

    The ending always got me. Before I watched this entire movie, I had only known about the ending where he spins his totem but eventually walks to go see his children and I never understood why he never went back until later. I'm still not sure if he was still dreaming or not but I'd like to say he wasn't. The totem started to wobble and it seemed like it never did that throughout the movie but I guess we'll never know. This was one of the best movies we've watched all year.
