Looks intense, but Ellen Page really??? She doesn't seem like the kind of actress to anchor this kind of film..
But he's using clips of a future Ellen Page, who has really learned to command the screen and deliver her lines with gravitas...
I wonder if they are going to actually release a "full" trailer, because Nolan did say that he wants everyone to be surprised..
Well an extended trailer was premiered at ShoWest today and people say they are even more confused! http://www.nolanfans.com/ Inception Footage Screened at ShoWest ‘10 Every March, the Nielsen Film Group puts on an exhibition in Las Vegas for the National Association of Theatre Owners; this event is known as ShoWest. Some of the biggest movie studios in Hollywood attend the event every year, and this year (like most) Warner Bros was there. With Warner Bros. today was writer/director Christopher Nolan and his upcoming film Inception. According to reports, Chris was still very secretive about the plot details while presenting new footage from the film. The presentation amounted to being the length of an extended trailer or so, and it didn’t seem to give any more indication to what exactly Inception is about. In fact, some people claim to be more confused! However, El Guapo from Latino Review seems to have a better understanding of just what exactly Leonardo DiCaprio’s character is doing. “[He] leads a team of security people who go into people’s dreams to ‘guard their subconscious’”. Something he supposedly explains with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character to (Ken Watanabe’s character) Sato. Journalists at the event claim the footage reveals that there is a lot of action and mind-warping effects shots. Fabulous location footage from Paris and Canada were also revealed, as well as Michael Caine’s and Marion Cotillard’s characters. Just in case you’re trying to keep your mind fresh for when Inception hits theaters on July 16th, we won’t reveal anymore here. But if you want to learn more about what was shown, you can read reports at Latino Review, ComingSoon and CinemaBlend.
I think some people took it or left it. The shaky cam scenes with him putting construction paper on his windows because he was in Alaska and it was sunny at night were a bit much, to me. And Hilary Swank to me is still hit-or-miss (that romantic comedy she did with Gerard Butler was terrawfibul).
Looks like some weird matrix ripoff with dreams instead of the matrix, oh well will probably still see it.

Nolan's style is reminiscent of Hong Kong action films. On a separate note, Memento immediately reminded me of Rashomon.
I didn't like Insomnia. I started laughing during the climax where two geriatrics and their stunt doubles duke it out. Something about the pacing that didn't pay off.
Ditto, she's got some real acting chops. Like someone mentioned, Hard Candy is a great example, great f'ed up movie too.
