Given he didn't do one for The Prestige, though, makes me think he'd pass on this as well.

But that would spoil all of the fun. What's the point of a brain-teaser that's solved and explained for you?

I couldn't disagree more.

I don't know about other people, but in my own dreams I am an awesome fighter and a super athlete.

[Show spoiler]Arthur definitely had an impressive command of jiu jitsu in the dream, (and it was his dream), that's the ultimate fighting style for a person with such a slim build.

Anyone else disappointed with the IMAX print? I was hoping to see a nice jump in image clarity and detail with all the 65mm scenes which would of been the action scenes and the establishing shots of cities. It looks like the IMAX DMR team put the ENTIRE movie through DNR and EE including the 6K 65mm footage which left it looking like the 35mm scenes. I couldn't see the quality leap I was hoping for.

Wow! Around the 19:50 point in that video, the string instrumentalists are ROCKIN' OUT! It's not often that you see someone with a violin in an orchestra physically playing like it's a rock concert!

I went and saw this last night and absolutely loved it. It was nice to see something original.

Doesn't have to give anything away. Just talk about how they did the shot. Well we'll hear that on the Special Features. I think.

I didnt see it an an IMAX theater, but I noticed a few "better" looking scenes.

One thing that surprised me though, it looked like they shot all the closeups on Murphy with a filter like they do with some female actresses. Compared to all the other males, his skin looked super smooth. He may have a great complexion in feal life, but it was really stood out to me as unnaturally soft.

He always looks that way to me? Wouldn't be surprised if it were true though, I know a lot of actors aren't thrilled about HD exposing all their little flaws.

Yup, I see it taking the #1 spot again this weekend, even with Salt getting some good reviews.

Speculation about the ending

[Show spoiler]He sees the multi billionaire collecting his own luggage with 2nd class passengers? Does that hint he was still in a dream?

[Show spoiler]I think that part of the ending was more him saying goodbye to his friends/comrades/associates than any kind of hint as to whether or not the ending was real.

I posted my main theory there.

To those wondering

[Show spoiler]if the whole thing was a dream, I say no because the dreamer would have to be in every scene. Meaning if Cobb was dreaming the whole thing, wouldn't Cobb have to be in EVERY scene. I know when I dream It's always in my perspective and if some one were to make a movie about MY dream I would have to be in every scene. No?
