plain jane Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Is it worth owning? Dh and I never buy movies. I'm far too cheap to spend money on a movie that often watching once is enough. We rent most of ours from the small local gas station that only charges $1 per movie, but they don't rent Blu-Ray. Thing is, I'd really like to see Inception on Blu-Ray. By the time I rent it on Blu-Ray, I figure we may as well buy it if it's as good as most people say it is. So, what does the Hive say... for a family who only owns a half dozen movies but does enjoy seeing the good ones on Blu-Ray, is Inception worth owning? Is it one of those movies that you watch multiple times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I hope so. I got it for dh for Christmas. :). I did that because he said it was complicated and he needed to watch it a few more times. I didn't go see it, so I'm just hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 You could always sell it if you don't like it. I agree though, it needs to be watched a few times to completely understand it. You also need to watch without distraction to understand the finer points of the plot. We have a lot of movies but we Netflix most of the them before deciding to purchase.

We have a lot of movies but we Netflix most of the them before deciding to purchase. That's a thought. I don't like selling used stuff anymore than I like buying it lately. Just too much hassle. Just last week I went (rushed out to beat another person to it, actually) to buy a bookshelf that a lady had on Craigslist for cheap. I got there first... to find out that she put the wrong size of shelf in the ad (Ikea Billy). She posted with the correct price original selling price for the size of shelf I wanted :glare: but alas, it was the smaller version. Such a waste of time.

AuntieM Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well, you're going to want to watch it more than once and the special effects are pretty amazing. If you think the price is fair... buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 You'll love Inception... it's an outstanding movie. I'll watch almost anything, but actually own very few anymore... Inception is the only movie on my Christmas list this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcyB Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 nope. The graphics are wonderful, yes, but the movie wasn't all that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Ds The Film Student thinks it's worth owning. I want it so I can see it again, and listen to the commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprimis Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I hope so. I got it for dh for Christmas. :).. I did the same. Target had a great deal on the blu-ray combo pack, and Inception looks like something dh would like. Neither of us have seen it before.

lulubelle Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Saw it in the theatre. Not that great. Lame story line. Even my husband was disappointed. Though it may be that we are just getting older!!! Such a subjective question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Alfred Academy Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Personally, I think ALL of Christopher Nolen's movies are worth owning. We have all of them (we are big fans and think he is a genius writer/director) and we never tire of watching them over and over. In fact, we just watched Inception for the 3rd time last night!

VBoulden Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I don't think it's an owner. I saw it just a few days ago for the first time. But, I am not a movie owner in general. I think I own Pride and Prejudice and Anne of Green Gables and things like that. Just because, those I could watch a million times and they never get old. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I saw it in the theater and liked it. It's a movie that really gets you thinking and talking. It's never crossed my mind to buy it, though. I just don't see myself watching it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) I saw it in the theater. The storyline was a lot of fun, but there was about an hour of action scenes throughout the movie that completely bored me (and didn't move the story forward at all. It was just a waste of time. Car chase after car chase type stuff.) Now that I have Netflix, I'm just going to get it from them and rewatch it, but only because my dh hasn't seen it. If he had seen it with me, I wouldn't watch it again. It was a lot of fun, but not something I'd watch over and over. Sounds like you're going to get conflicting answers to your questions based on our personalities. Edited December 11, 2010 by Garga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
