FUCK yes.

I remember seeing this trailer on the front-end of something -- Shutter Island maybe? -- and not being impressed. Never gave it another thought until now.

I think the newer trailers are much better. The first one was a teaser with so little information that you had no idea what the movie was about.

A very nutshell version of the review I'm going to do for The Abbey Pro:

Holy fucking shit. Go see this goddamned movie. If you like your action movies with brains (and a bit of heart), go see Inception. Amazing visuals, amazing story, solid performances all around from a stellar cast. If The Italian Job and Shutter Island had an illicit lovemaking session in a gorgeously appointed French hotel while watching a Fellini flick on Blu-Ray, amped up on cocaine and discussing metaphysics all the while, this movie would be their spooky, precocious, prodigal genius of a lovechild.

Pretty sure I watched 90 percent of this movie with my jaw literally hanging open, when I wasn't quietly laughing in sheer glee at the brilliant, manic timing. I KNOW I watched almost all of it leaning forward in my seat. Every cliche that people have used to describe visceral reactions to movies quite literally happened to me. My girlfriend's first words upon the movie's ending: "Holy SHITballs." And I totally agreed. She also said something about feeling like she had just participated in a mental decathalon, and I also can't disagree with that in the least.

Go see it before it leaves the theater. I myself am certain I will purchase this movie the second it hits Blu-Ray. If you don't mind a bit of non-linear storytelling and some twisty, bendy goodness when it comes to the plot, defintely carve out some time to check this one out.

It's funny ... Carie and I made a double feature movie night out of Friday, so we hit Salt first before we watched Inception. I'm glad we did, if for no other reason than it was a great contrast: the stereotypical dumb action film with gaping plot holes, unbelieveable stunts, weak dialogue, shoddy writing and asinine moments that require a suspension of disbelief so profound that one can never quite pull it off followed up by a movie of fantastic quality on every level: one that is so visually, emotionally, viscerally, and intellectually stunning that you want to turn around and go back in and see it again (but perhaps after a nap). I'm just saying.

Wow. That was originally intended to be a sentence or two. My bad.

Saw this on Friday with the wifey. Considering some of the overhyped garbage that has been coming out, I was very pleased with this one. It was very cool, very action packed and not too cliche'. Not going to comment on the story itself due to spoilage, but I did find it worth the money.

I give it 3 out of 4 moons.
