The beginning, for example, doesn't have any special effects.
O_o Really?
I never pay attention to the acting; Western films usually don't have problems with that.
Western films usually have big problems with that. Most actors are one-dimensional and always play the same roles.
There is a certain category of films that are interesting to watch specifically for the plot, but these are generally not action films. However, I don't see the point in watching them in a movie theater on a big screen; it's easier to wait for the disc release and watch them at home.
If there is a certain atmosphere, then on a big screen, you become part of the film, experiencing all the events together with the characters, and so on.

If you go to a movie for the 3D and special effects, then it's easier to set up a large flat screen at home, buy glasses (you probably won't even have to buy them; they used to be in magazines), and watch at home. Considering the increasing number of such films, I think this solution will pay for itself quite quickly.


Барон "Vampires"

Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!

I didn't say there weren't any; I mean that there aren't as many large-scale computer-generated special effects as you usually see in blockbusters of that level. Many of the special effects in Inception were done practically, with a minimum of computer graphics.

Western films usually have big problems with this. Most actors are one-dimensional and always play the same types of characters.
The problem isn't really with the acting itself, but with the fact that the characters are clichés. In general, last year many films didn't live up to the studios' expectations at the box office, and even 3D couldn't save them. This could serve as motivation to create something new, rather than exploiting existing sources and endless clichés.

If there's atmosphere, then on the big screen you become part of the film, experiencing all the events together with the characters, and so on.

If you go to a movie just for the 3D and special effects, then it's easier to set up a large flat-screen TV at home, buy glasses (you probably won't even have to buy them, they used to be in magazines), and watch movies at home. Given the increasing number of such films, I think such a solution will pay for itself quite quickly.
No home theater can provide the same 3D and sense of presence as a "big" movie theater. Although, in general, this industry is developing, that's true. As for the atmosphere, you can't tell from the trailers; you have to go to the cinema, but that's basically taking a gamble. From an atmospheric point of view, the film could turn out to be a disappointment.

Well, what about "Gran Torino," for example? I liked it. It's a good movie that you won't regret watching.
But I just finished watching "Zodiac." Two and a half hours of time wasted. Reading Articles about serial killers online a few years ago, including this particular one, was interesting; watching this movie was not. It's a slow, boring, tedious film, and the only positive thing for me was Robert Downey Jr.'s performance. Not entirely, though. There's absolutely nothing interesting for me here. There's nothing here at all, except for a two-and-a-half-hour investigation. Can you call this an intellectual film? I don't think so. What's intellectual about a film that just throws one fact after another, another after the third, the tenth after the fifth? Without any real attempt to connect anything, except for some sluggish shuffling at the end. It's like filling a vessel with sand. It's also a jumble of dates, people, and events. One minute you see one group of people on the screen, the next minute another, then a third. You lose track after an hour. Was it my fault that I already knew the main spoiler long before watching it? THE KILLER WAS NEVER FOUND. I doubt it. But my eyes pick out the film from Mr. Fincher's filmography, and my brain realizes that this is one of the last three he made. I've seen all three, and all three are the epitome of boredom. Whether it's "The Social Network," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," or "Zodiac." Each one of them. Each. I watched it and felt like I'd eaten garbage. And I stepped on the same rake again. I'll be more careful with this guy in the future.
Over time, the style of his films has changed! Mr. Fincher has started making truly intelligent films! - a Fincher fanboy will say. It's his right to be a fanboy. But I think he's gone downhill. But a true connoisseur of his work will disagree with me. He'll say that I don't understand anything and that I'm a philistine. Again, it's his right. I've said everything I wanted to say.
Don't watch it, you'll thank me later.

I watched the beginning of your film. The movie itself is amazing, but it's unclear what's going on, where they're running, where they end up, and why. It's a mishmash of events, and you have to sit there and try to figure it out.
Perhaps it's to boost box office numbers by encouraging viewers to see the film multiple times?

I watched the beginning of your film. The movie is, of course, mind-blowing, but it's unclear what they're doing, where they're running, where they end up, and why. It's a mishmash of events, and you have to sit there and figure it out.
Perhaps, to boost box office numbers, they want viewers to see the film multiple times?
I watched it once last summer, and everything was clear and understandable. Turning on "brain off" mode, which is suitable for ordinary blockbusters, is not recommended when watching "Inception."

A very intellectual film, yes, yes.
Maybe you can explain it to me, brain? Why did they predict a week, half a year, ten years, or however long, before even entering, but it worked in just a few hours? And why did they spend all ten hours on the flight? Why did the Japanese man age, but the hero didn't, even though they both experienced the last layer? How did the heir lie on the cold floor, dead for ten minutes, and then get up and walk after defibrillation? Because they found him and dropped him from a height? Why were they so afraid of being "stuck forever" on the last layer if the girl and the heir managed to get out of there by jumping? Why couldn't they kill themselves on the last layer, as it was supposed to happen in the end? Do they absolutely need to hear music, lol? Then why didn't the hero and the Japanese man come out right away? Because the Japanese man "didn't know"? But he knew before? How did they manage to make the projection of the old man say something meaningful to the heir in the hotel?

I need to make a list of the movies that I am allowed to watch here, because I wanted to watch a couple of movies, but I didn't know which ones.

Why did they predict a week, half a year, ten years, or however long before the immersion, but it worked in just a few hours? And they spent all ten hours on the flight?
They were asked how long these dreams would take in general, and then there was a list: "a week for the first level, half a year for the second, and ten years for the third." This means that without the ejection, they would have to spend exactly that amount of time on these levels, not that it would take them ten years to implement the plan. Earlier, it was said that "five minutes in the real world equals an hour in the dream," which is why those hours spent on the plane are enough for everything.
Morning
Why did the Japanese man age, but the hero didn't, even though they both experienced the last layer?
Because the Japanese man went to the last level after dying on the previous one. And the protagonist did it consciously, using a miracle device that immerses him in the General dream, i.e., he knew he was in the limbo, unlike the Japanese man, who apparently had already lived a life in this limbo before the protagonist went there to find him.
Morning
How could the heir lie on the cold floor, dead for ten minutes, and then get up and walk after defibrillation? Because he was found and dropped from a height? Why were they so afraid of "getting stuck forever" on the last layer if the girl and the heir managed to get out of there by jumping?
Yes, because he was found and dropped from a height. They were afraid of getting stuck if they ended up in the limbo after dying; then, they simply wouldn't know that this is not a real world. But they went there consciously, using a device. You can get out of the limbo by using the ejection or by dying, but you can't do it on your own if you get there by dying on the previous level.
Morning
Do they necessarily need to hear music, lol? Then why didn't the hero and the Japanese man leave immediately? Because the Japanese man "didn't know"? But he knew before? How did they manage to make the projection of the old man say something meaningful to the heir in the hotel?
Music is needed to synchronize the ejections, in theory. The hero and the Japanese man didn't leave because no one arranged an ejection for them at their level. When the Japanese man ended up in the limbo after his death on the previous level, he didn't know anything anymore and lived a normal life in the limbo until the protagonist found him and reminded him that this world is not real. The "projection of the old man" can, in theory, say anything because it is in the dream of one of the team members.

I went to see "The Witch" today. I had been planning to watch this movie since September, and I must say, it turned out to be better than I expected. It's very atmospheric, well-shot, and has excellent scenery (the landscapes between scenes are simply wonderful), and the special effects are decent. And, of course, it's epic. It's a feast for the eyes. I really liked Stephen Campbell Moore (who played the monk) among the actors. Overall, the movie was much better than the trailer. It's a great way to relax and have fun; I recommend it! Now I need to watch "Black Death" with Sean Bean and compare. P.S. Don't bring small children to this movie. ;)

Indeed, that makes sense.
Except for the first paragraph and the last sentence. They all woke up right at the end of the flight, although they did use the ejection. In reality, they shouldn't have slept for even an hour, judging by the time spent on the first layer, and they couldn't have left the first layer at all, since no one was waking them up from the outside. I suppose, after the ejections, they dozed off for the rest of the time "without dreaming"? Skepticism.
What does the fact that one of the participants was in a dream have to do with it? If that were possible, the hero and his wife wouldn't have had any problems; they could have dealt with her, as well as with any other projections.

Didn't quite understand the ending of "Inception." I've only watched it once, but it seems like two hemispheres weren't enough to keep track of all the dream levels. Does the top spin or does it fall in the end?

I paused (watched on the computer) about twice to make sure I had all the dream levels clear in my head, whose dream it is at the moment, and what needs to be done at that level. The ending with the top clearly was designed to create intrigue. I didn't notice anything about the constant speed; personally, I wanted it to fall at that moment, so it might have just seemed that way.
