这部长达2小时42分钟的影片拥有极具震撼力的视觉效果，被认为片刻也不容错过。国外一家网站列出了观影时的最佳如厕时间，最近成了中国各大社交网站的热门转帖，并被改编成手机短信，供人们通过手机发送给朋友。“如厕宝典”建议了四个最佳如厕时段，其一是电影进行到56分钟左右时，Trudy说“你们真该看看你们的脸”；其二，电影进行到117分钟左右时，Jake开始旁白，“时间开始倒流。外面是真实的世界，而我们身处梦中”；其三，电影进行到133分钟左右时，上校对Jake说，“我真想狠狠地亲你一口”；最后一段则是在电影进行到142分钟左右，Grace博士说，“我这一天就这么被毁了”，紧接着就是一连串的动作戏。
　　The stunning visual effects of the film that runs 2hours and 42 minutes are seen as too good to miss even a moment of. Tips from a foreign Web site about what are the best points in the movie for a quick bathroom run have lately made the rounds on China's social network Web sites, and have been translated into a text message that people send to their friends via cell phone. According to the tips , four time slots are suggested, one, approximately 56 minutes into the movie, when Trudy says 'You should see your faces,' the second, approximately 117 minutes into the movie, when Jake laments, 'Everything is backwards now. Out there is the true world and this is the dream', and the third, approximately 133 minutes into the movie, when the colonel says to Jake, 'I might want to give you a big wet kiss', and finally, approximately 142 minutes into the movie, when Dr. Grace says 'This is going to ruin my whole day,' followed by non-stop action scenes.

　　不过上述“如厕宝典”也有一个问题：在耐心地排了这么久的队之后，观众欣赏影片时难道还会去频频看表吗？
　　That raises the question: After waiting patiently in line, will viewers then spend the entire movie checking their watches?
