I stopped reading this review after the tedious exposition that you didn’t even watch the whole thing. You’re basing you’re whole review on speculation by fans of what the last scene meant, which isn’t important.

Here’s an actual review and interesting take on the movie:

What great SF films have there been at all?

I’m getting the sense you liked Batman Begins more than The Dark Knight, and if that’s true, I give you due props. BB was an impeccably structured action movie, while TDK was good for ninety minutes and incredibly leaden for another sixty.

Here’s my take. He had a very promising idea, but then he put it to sleep and drove it off a bridge.

“It appears as if my wife and I are the only two people on the face of the planet who hated Inception.”

What in the hell are you talking about? The backlash had completely overwhelmed the initial positive reviews within like 72 hours of the release. From then on, it’s been the establishment-cool thing to do to hate this movie for a week and a half.

The lamest thing to do is pretend you and you alone occupy a critical counter-bandwagon that became the hip-CW position almost immediately after something hits the general population.

I thought it was a good movie. Went and saw it last Saturday, and the air conditioning in the theater was excellent, and the popcorn was good too.

Do you think novices resign earlier or later than grandmasters?

That’s like saying you walked out of Ocean’s 11 because you figured out that George Clooney and Brad Pitt were going to prevail in the end. Figuring out the puzzle of Inception wasn’t the point, it was watching how the puzzle worked that was supposed to be interesting. And to me, it worked, though the 3rd dream sequence in the snow took too long. Whoops, you didn’t see that, don’t want to give anything away:)

Well, obviously you could walk out. At least if your wife did first to get you over your thrifty nature. But whatever “pretentions of being more” are there, it seems obvious to me that your expectations were what ruined the film for you. The walking out seems so gross an over reaction that it feels like a type mismatch. It reminds me of my (seemingly almost universal) childhood experience of stealing the baking chocolate from the cupboard. Looks like chocolate. Smells like chocolate. Has that familiar Hershey’s trade dress. One bite and I’m spitting it out. But that wasn’t the fault of the baking chocolate.
