This is the first time in a very long time that I've walked out of a movie thinking I got my money's worth and that I REALLY LOVED THE MOVIE. This movie is definitely for people who think outside the box. Anyone who falls asleep or says they are bored with the movie "just doesn't get it." But if you "get it" you will be hooked.
If you loved the Matrix, you'll enjoy Inception.
Don't get up to go to the bathroom though. Get your snacks and everything BEFORE the movie. There is not a moment in the movie where there isn't SOMETHING important happening and some sort of action.
I took my 3 kids to this movie last night. They are 11, 7 and 3. We loved it! It kept them interested and involved. The only draw back is that I was unaware of the scariness of the mythical creatures and my 3 yr old son had a moment of a little worry but he got over it quickly with a quick reminder that it "wasn't real - just a story" which he gets. I haven't read the book but my 11 yr old enjoyed Rick Riordan's visit to his school in the past. Clean movie, no foul language and action. Good choice for parents and everyone can enjoy it. Well worth it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Loved it! Different. Thought provoking. Political inferences from our time and also perhaps from a time when the U.S. was being created and the current occupants were facing the invasion of the "whites." Rated appropriately too. Some of the scenes were hard to explain to younger kids and if you are thinking to bring a child under 5 yrs - it could be disturbing on one hand and on the other hand -because it is almost 3 hrs long - a young one probably wouldn't sit still for the whole movie. Overall I can't wait to see it again. Well worth it! Saw it in 3D.
