I have and I enjoyed it, no doubt. It succeeded at being a total mind fuck in a way no movie has in a really long time (since the matrix?). But I'm not really sure if I would say it's a good film.There's a 1.50 theater in Raleigh and I'll probably see it again there and hopefully my mixed feelings will subside.

Also only the 2nd movie I've seen in the theater in 2010. I saw about 70-100 in 2009

I think I hear what you're saying, but I don't know what you would consider a good film in this case.

I think where Inception fared better than most other films is that its used symbols to deliver a meaning that didn't beat you over the skull, was still logical in the actual plot it had layed out, and lent itself to multiple interpretations.

Its narrative was probably the best thing I've seen in quite awhile. Curious to know what you meant by good film/not good film though.

It was just a lot to take in, 2.5 hours. I also recognize just because I like something doesn't mean it's good and vice versa. I can't really describe it very well but pretty much I like to watch Ed Wood movies but they're god awful.
