Part 1 of 2 for @ZeldaFreak's picks

[Sumez | 2,950]

Entertaining movie. At the time I'd probably expected a little more from Nolan, based on amazing stuff like The Dark Knight and Memento, and it feels like it likes to pretend that it's a lot smarter than it is.

But taking it for what it is, it's definitely enjoyable.

7/10

Out there concept done really well

Only complaint is the dreams aren’t surreal or trippy or dreamlike at all.  They go to empty cities, empty hotel, and a snow base out of goldeneye 64x.

I love this movie, my wife actually gave me the UHD last weekend for my birthday!

9/10 just outside my top ten 

[TDIRunner | 2,735]

9 for sure.  It's the type of movie that you need to be in the right mood for because it demands you attention, but it's worth it.  

[Jeevan | 8,910]

Never seen it and no interest.

I'd give it a solid 9.

Not in my personal top-10, but an absolutely epic movie that did things nobody had ever seen before.

 

Also, Tom Hardy pulling a grenade launcher out of his pocket with a snarky quotable one-liner will never get old.

It was ok. A little silly in parts. I also agree it tries to be deeper and smarter than it actually was. Haven't seen it in a while though so maybe worth another watch through at some point. Definitely entertaining but not my cup of tea.

Too good damn long.  I won't watch it again.

10/10, it's in my top 10. Two things I absolutely love are movies that play with time and physical rotating movie sets, and man, this movie might do both of those better than any other movie. The Hans Zimmer score is also the bomb.

Hans Zimmer is definitely one of the best.

10 from me, one of my personal favorite movies of all time. There were other movies I was considering, like 1917 or Parasite, but I figured I'd choose some of my favorites and see what people think of them.

The rotating hallway fight is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. And yeah, Hans Zimmer is one of my favorite composers, his style of music is right up my alley.

Never seen it. I tend to shy away from cerebral epics like this. I'm sure it's great, just not my cup of tea.

[Link | 2,709]

Maybe it was overhyped. Maybe I missed the boat. I was really disappointed. I thought it was boring. I didn’t make it through the first hour so, 3. 

[mbd39 | 2,020]

I was torn between a 7 or 8. I went with 7.

There's much that I like about it, and it's technically amazing. but I also remember it getting bogged down in endless shoot outs. It could have been more weird and dream-like given the concept.

Hands down in my top 10. Absolutely love that movie so much. Just such an interesting idea. I'd probably give 11 though for South Park's take on it lol.

This seems like on of the more interesting score distributions we have had.

Yeah, I feel like the representation of dreams in movies dealing with the flakiness of human memories was done a lot better in movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Mulholland Drive. Badass movies those

Exactly what I was hoping for, since I know this movie can be kind of divisive sometimes.
