5.0 out of 5 stars
a TON of thought went into this book., Aug 6 2010

This review is from: Inception: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
this book goes above and beyond. it features the amazing, multi-layered and completely readable script by christopher nolan. however, it also has storyboards, full credits for the film, an excellent preface and a PASIV device instruction manual. The PASIV device (better known as the dream machine) "instruction manual" is amazing and fun to look at. it's also very intricate and detailed. this book is really an essential purchase for anyone who wants to look deeper into the masterpiece that INCEPTION is. i think its one of the best published scripts i've ever bought.

More than I bargained for!, Aug 6 2010

This review is from: Inception: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
I bought this hoping it would help me wrap my brain around the movie. I was expecting just a straight screenplay, but the book also includes an interview with Nolan, storyboards, concept art and schematics of the "PASIV" device they use to enter dreams. Very cool.

Very Very Good, but not exactly what you see in the movie, Aug 6 2010
By Jianjing Zhang "Buffalo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Inception: The Shooting Script (Paperback)
Since I watched Inception for the third time two weeks ago, I've been waiting for this, because really there's some dialogue I did not capture in the theatre
This is the book I wanted, reading this just like reading a novel without getting bored. It is probably the best script I've read since Batman Begins, also by Nolan
Some original concept arts are included along with a interesting dream machine manual
Some of the scenes in the movie are not included in this script (one example is in the final kick back scenes where in the movie, there are lots of cuts from different levels, but in this script, it is much simpler), and some of the dialogues are slightly different, actually I think Nolan added some additional scenes in the movie just in order that the audience are more easily to catch up the plot.
Highly recommended
4.8/5
