Foolish friends is why not

No money is why not.

Add to that a major dislike of our local fleapits. I may see if I can borrow it on DVD later.

I spent clubcard vouchers on cinema tickets (x2) and vouchers for a restaurant. Free evening out FTW!

Nolan's considering an Inception video game, as he thinks he'll be able to do stuff there that he couldn't put in the film

Christopher Nolan confirms Inception videogame

Christopher Nolan has confirmed that he is working on a videogame version of his multi-layered movie Inception.

For anyone who has seen the film, it's clear that it's ripe for a game adaptation.

And it seems that Nolan is no stranger to exploring the movie's themes outside of the cinema, having already released a graphic novel prologue tie-in.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he explained that he was working on the game, saying, "I always imagined Inception to be a world where a lot of other stories could take place.

"At the moment, the only direction we're channelling that is by developing a videogame set in the world."

Dream lover
Apparently videogames are "something I've wanted to explore," according to Nolan. He's obviously a fan of Jet Set Willy, then.

Videogame adaptations of movies are usually tied into the release of the films, and this usually means the games are rushed and pretty poor.

Given that Nolan is taking his time with this one, expect something special when it eventually appears. But don't expect it soon, because it looks as if The Dark Knight Rises is his priority at the moment.

Just watched it on blu-ray. Completely blown away once the premise was set but by the end I was begging for it to finish. The entire suspense thing IMO was completely OTT.

I would give it 4/5 - it was done brilliantly but could have been perfected. Given that this was originally conceived in 1991, it can show at times. Using a fraction of our minds whilst awake? We utilise 90% of our brains and something close to that when asleep.

Comparing it to The Dark Knight and Matrix is a bit of a fallacy - IMO this film was completely different. However, I don't think it has much in the way of replayability. You can enjoy the other two on various levels but am not so sure about inception. One thing's for sure: I wish I'd watched it at the cinema!

I'm going to watch Inception this week and I think you've summed up the problem there. I've heard nothing but good reviews for Inception but the clips I've seen do make it look like a big screen film. Like Avatar, you're probably only going to get a fraction of the experience when watching it in your own home.

I watched this the other night and made a long post that disappeared into the ether. The crux of it was that I wished I'd seen it in the cinema as I'd originally intended to. Plotwise, it just came across as an action packed heist movie and not all that clever. Had I seen it in the cinema, I think I would have enjoyed it more.

Interesting that it was originally conceived in 1991 as had I seen it then, I think it would have blown me away a la matrix.

I compared it to the Matrix, because it's a game-changer. Nolan is a singular film-maker and this is his best yet in combining superb story telling, excellent, well-grounded effects and beautiful visuals. The concept is, to my knowledge, unique. And even if it isn't, it feels like it is. That's an extremely rare feeling these days and I've had it from each of his last 3 films.

An interesting piece about Inception from Kodak - http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Publications/In_Camera/Focus_on_Film/inception.htm

Very interesting read. Definitely had a feeling there was some IMAX trickery going on when I watched the BD last week. Remembered watching TDK on BD for the first time and Inception is just as pretty.
