I thought Inception, was bloated, long, convoluted and impossible to follow. I know a few people, here in California, who saw it high, and thought it was freaking great...
but they were high.
honestly, I liked Dark Knight..
for this type of movie, ( a movie about dreams) try the original Lathe of Heaven.. (not the James Caan remake from the 1990s )
Inception really isn’t a movie about dreams. Inception is a heist picture, like the Italian Job, with a team that was made up to reflect the movie business (there’s a producer with all the money, a star, a director etc), then there’s all dream structure/ nature of reality/ is this story the story we told you it was stuff. But the type is still heist.
