Went to a special screening via the Visual Effects Society of "Inception" last night at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences theatre in North Hollywood.  On hand for a post-screening Q & A were the director, Christopher Nolan, his Producer wife Emma Thomas, composer Hans Zimmer, cinematographer Wally Pfister, production designer Guy Dyas, casting director John Papsidera, and costume designer Jefferey Kurland.

The film?  AMAZING.  A mind bender that will keep you guessing blurring the line between perception and reality.  An E-ticket cinematic ride that is big; in action, sound, scale of story and locale.  A huge package it is that does balance out the grand strokes with moments and themes of great tenderness.  What a great cast each of whom plays their parts to the hilt.   Nolan does his usual best in terms of unraveling a story with his deft use of the time theme.  Great film making indeed. 

Nolan and the crew gave a great presentation on how things went.  Not one to reveal too much, they touched on some of "How'd they do that?"  aspects of the film which are quite mind-bending as well.  They explained their casting choices, technical challenges with certain camera rigs, costume colors and textures to aid in the telling of the story, and musical choices.

Even after hearing these behind the scenes snippets from the film makers themselves, I want to see the movie again.  Its so richly layered with action sequences, intrigue, and personal searches for meaning and love that I believe multiple viewings would only make the experience even better.

See it in a theater with the biggest screen and loudest sound system  you can find.  Some of you might want to wear a seatbelt for this one or just hold on tight.

Gary Rizzo mixed the sound for Inception. He's mixing our film this winter. He said it was well worth watching - not your typical big budget film.
Ahhhhh I can't wait for this
