I still very much liked the movie though.
Great film, glad to see a great sci-fi film doing well at the box office as well. Moon was a great story last year, that did not do so well. Worth checking out.
The only confusing bit is whether he was actually ever in the real world at all, or it was all a dream. This is almost the main concept of the film, and not answered when we see the spinning top still spinning at the end.
Yeah, though I didn't really see this as confusing, simply an unknown left open to interpretation.
I was half waiting for some kind of twist like say, it turns out that Cobb was dreaming the whole time and is in reality the heir to the company and is the target of the Incpetion... or something. I didn't really think that one through too deeply though and I'm not sure that a twist like this would have made the movie better in any case. I guess it just comes back again to that expectation that was built up in me of it being a full on "mind fuck" movie. In some ways I was kind of happy walking out of the cinema that my mind had not been fucked, just well entertained.
Now something like Primer, on the other hand...
