The new film by genius director Christopher Nolan seems to be gathering a lot of acclaim:

I'm so going to see that. Probably opening night if we can get a sitter.

This is the one movie I have been utterly GEEKED about since seeing the first teaser. I am grabbing up the wife and sons and will be there opening day. Christopher Nolan is a fantastic storyteller.

It's firing on all levels for me. I would want to see ANY Chris Nolan movie at this point, because I've loved ever single movie he's made (except Insomnia -- it was just okay, I guess, I wouldn't say love).

And then this one comes out and the previews look incredible.

I think it's ok to be manly gay for DiCaprio.

Insomnia had a few problems.

It had Al Pacino, who by then had already mastered the art of not really giving a f***.

Robin Williams.

And unlike every other movie made by him, he didn't write/plot it. The script was already written.

It's the least Nolan-like of his films.

It's still early, and most reviews haven't been published yet, but those that have been are VERY positive. Some comparing Nolan to Kubrick.

The one negative review is the inevitable "I don't see what they praise about this movie" kind of review.

Christopher Nolan directing it was all I needed to hear. The trailers and commercials make it look like a cross between an espionage film and the Matrix. I can't wait to see this.

I am sooo looking forward to this...looks brilliant...Nolan is a genius..Dark Knight was next level and this looks even better...!

I am very happy he has another Batman film after this and is producing a Superman reboot...amazing few years ahead.

If you've got an iPhone or iPad (Rafael), download the iVerse app and then download Inception: the Cobol Job. It's a Warner Bros prequel comic set just before the movie. I plan to read this right before I go see Inception.

Got a great review today in the NY Post, the critic said don't read his review as this is one movie you want to go in knowing as little as possible.
The movie event of the year.

It's a good film, but after all the hype four words came to mind:

Shutter Island was better.

I was underwhelmed by Shutter Island, so I should like this better.

Saw it today - brilliant - excellent acting, action, visuals and an amazing emotional core to all the action. Avoid spoilers and go see this film people!
