For months now, I’ve been fastidiously avoiding anything and everything having to do with Christopher Nolan’s Inception—he’s a hell of a filmmaker, and Inception sounds like it could be a hell of a film, but I have a hunch that the less one knows going into this one, the better it’ll be.
But my steadfast, months-long M.O. of sticking my fingers in my ears and loudly whistling and wandering off anytime anyone mentioned the words “Christopher,” “Nolan,” or “Inception” went right out the window at the Roseway on Saturday night, when the new Inception trailer played before Iron Man 2. Now that I’ve seen it, I can’t stop watching it. It’s embedded below, but do yourself a favor and watch the HD version.
After this, for real: I’m not going to look at or hear anything else until I see it. No plot summaries, no ads, no nothing. I was already sold to begin with, just knowing Nolan was involved. But now, after that trailer? Now I’m just angrily impatient.
I was in complete agreement with you… this looks very cool, with one big exception. In the trailer where Leo says something like “and this last job, that’s how I get there.” I really, really hope this movie is not set up like the “I’m just going to do this one last big heist and then I quit” cliche. That would be a major bummer.
My primary concern despite enjoying this trailer a great deal is that more has been revealed. I’m sure there is still a whole lot unknown and will remain that way until the film is released, but I liked the direction the first two teaser had taken where you were left wondering what the hell is this?
