I concur! Nolan did well and DiCaprio played the part all too well.

I concur!

But I would also add that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is GORGEOUS!!

In real world, the conscious is so obvious, that it controls the subconscious but when you dream, the subconscious controls the conscious. Many a times in your dream you want to do something but your subconscious which you realize is it does not listen to you and does something else. This is what i call the parallel universe.
Now the movie inception it says that there is this guy who controls his subconscious as much as he controls his conscious so much that he creates conscious in the subconscious and spans it to many a levels. Maybe i can buy it but to dream in a dream of others and interlink with each other subconscious to many levels is a little far-fetched. At this point you will definitely have dreams of all the other people interconnected and it will be so random that none of the events happening in the movie will be in sequence. For example, you will have the Di Caprio’s nightmare and then you will have the girl’s nightmare interconnected (suppose the girl has nightmare of seeing a shark attacking while Dicaprio see the train). Technically i think that Dicaprio is master-minding all the dreams then the purpose of whole movie is lost. That is when you dream you can unlock or see the person’s conscious and sub conscious and with that he can easily guess the ‘safe’ combination. In comparison, the matrix is a far far better movie than the Inception.
Bottom line..poorly conceived movie but brilliantly acted and masterfully directed. DiCaprio as usual is a genius and Nolan did a great job.

Just got back from seeing this, and I have to agree with everything you said. The movie was just flat-out fantastic. It’s complicated, but won’t go over your head. Very well-done and thought-out.

As I went into the movie, I expected to see crazy imagery that accompanied the scenes featured in the trailer (ie. the world folding in on itself and the train in the middle of the city), but now that I’ve seen it, I’m glad they didn’t run away with their we-can-do-whatever-we-want-because-it’s-a-dream excuse to create Michael Bay-style FX sequences. Nolan deserves some applause alone for that, I think. He pretty much did everything right.

And that ending…Oh man…
