Totally lame film. I was so disappointed in it. Would have been a better Zombie pic.

This seems like so much win tbh. Dolph Lundgren, Sly, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Bruch Willis, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Micky Rourke and Arnold Schwarzenegger all in the one fucking move:lol:

Also just a little useless information:lol: . Dolph Lundgren has a masters degree in Chemical Engineering from Sydney University and served as a bodyguard in the city while at uni, before then going on to star as Ivan Drago in Rocky 4

Yeah, ditto this. It's fantastic in the that it's a really, really enjoyable film, with some epic scenes, but it also finishes neatly. Very Matrix-esque in that it's not so much massive twists, but more of a in depth, 'makes you think' story.

Don't be fooled - Willis and Arnie are only in for a couple of minutes in total. Mickey Rourke ain't in it for long either.

Me thinks it looks bad. Not good 'bad', but simply 'bad'. I love Sly, but he needs to stop thinking that he can be funny on screen.

In seeing the trailers I did think of The Matrix a little. I'll definitely check it out at some point.

Any other ending would have taken away from the film IMO. What Nolan did was incredibly smart, because that ending, and the movie as a whole, has generated a massive amount of discussion that most movies don't get. The theories and ideas people are putting out mean everyone is seeing the movie in a completely different light to the next.

Saw a nice quote the other day. Something along the lines of, the fact that he ended it that way is far more important than any conclusion you or I may come to.

Was talking to a bloke at uni today at lunch, and he's saying that the script for Ice Station - yes, the book that made Matt Reily famous has nearly been finalized. I reckon the movie would be fucking awesome, got me thinking on the train home of who the cast would be.

U.S. Marines

Shane Schofield = Mark Whalberg?

Book Reily = Bruce Willis (you need a tough nuggety guy for Book, i think Bruce would nail it)

Gant = Megan Fox :p, or, Eva Mendes

Mother = ?????? I was gonna say Angelina Jolie, but could she act hardcore enough for the role of Mother. Would probably have to pack on some weight too :lol:, But in all seriousness, the Chick who plays Berta in 2 and a half men!!!! :D

Snake = Barry Pepper - Snake is the Sniper and all the movies iv'e seen with Barry Pepper in he's been a sniper, and he can look hardcore, like Snake's supposed to look.

British S.A.S

Trevor Barnaby = Jason Statham or Vinnie Jones

Scientists:
Sarah Heinsleigh = Angelina could prob suit this role, or Jessica Alba. She's supposed to be good looking in the book.
Abby: Some Child Actor

Whatcha think :p, i know i'm throwing in a lot of high profile names, but it's good to let your imagination run wile and free once in a while.

All the Marines that get killed or have low profile status don't need to be too high profile, same with the French Soldiers.

Although, Renshaw could be played by Jason Alexander (George Castanza from Seinfeld) and Rebound, the young private who survives could be played by none other then Matt Damon...:lol: nah, someone up and coming perhaps?

What are your Top 5 favourite movies?

Mine are:
1. Watchmen
2. Silence of the Lambs
3. Monthy Pythons movies (can't separate them)
4. District 9
5. V for Vendetta

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

It was the correct ending for the movie in so many ways, it wasn't however, to me, in any way ambiguous.

[spoiler]He couldn't have left the cut to black from the spinning top any longer - plus judging from the way he behaves in the movie, he's clearly been away from the USA for some time - yet the kids haven't aged or, unless my eyes deceived me, changed their clothes since he went.[/spoiler]

Still loved it though.

[spoiler]Yeah, there's some very strong theories out there that either that was a dream, or the whole movie is a dream. And this is why I think the ending is perfect. Everyone will have their own theories, and the discussions will be endless. The hype around the movie won't die down for a long time.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Benj, do you think that only the end is a dream, or going all the way back to the whole thing?

I also read that everytime he is dreaming he is wearing a wedding ring - but he isn't wearing it at the end.[/spoiler]
