A Dream Movie of All Dream Movies

If you have a soft spot for stories that challenge reality v. dreams, if you love movies like The Matrix, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or Waking Life, this is Chis Nolan's gift to us!!! Layers of dreams, not one but two major stories in parallel, and gorgeous surreal sets make the movie, but make sure you're not mind is alert to keep up with the intricacies. (Not recommended for limited English speakers, not without translation.) Chris Nolan is also a genius of casting from Memento, The Prestige, and the Batman series, and this is no different. Batman alums Ken Watanabe and Cillian Murphy are now in the spotlight in all their genius and screen presence, as well as a cameo by another Nolan favorite. DiCaprio and Cotillard are beautiful and captivating. Ellen Page was a bit of a Katie Holmes for me, but she did well. If nothing else, this movie should be appreciated for its originality and craft in a summer and year full of boring remakes like Karate Kid, A-Team and Predator. Hands down Best Movie of the Year so far!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wonderful - bring the kids!

Why is the biggest concern over this film how it's too scary for kids? It's a wonderful movie and kids should see it and be spooked by the scary monster. Adults are being over-protective and keeping children from enjoying a beautiful film. The story is simple enough for kids to follow, but the real treat is in the amazing detail of of the characters and set. Dakota Fanning is charming as the voice of Coraline and the scenes are mesmerizing! A classic!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
