Saw it last friday and thought it was good, too. I thought I'd have a hard time following the convoluted story, but I didn't. I actually liked it better than Matrix.
I'm afraid I've been set up for disappointment. The last time I saw this many positive reviews was for Avatar, so I rushed out to see it instead of waiting for DVD (I normally wait for movies to hit DVD). Avatar was good but it was impossible to meet my lofty expectations because of the tremendous praise it got so I was actually disappointed by it. I'm feeling the same will happen w/ Inception now
Brilliant flick. Leonardo is on my short list of automatic ticket buy.
This is a thinking persons movie, and superbly done.
Thumbs up. If you saw And liked Shutter Island, you'll like this.
