I'm late to say this, but Inception sucked. How all the critics loved it is beyond me.
Interesting idea, poor execution. Plot holes abound. A small example is finding a chemical engineering expert in Mombasa, who in a pinch can adjust his sedative to not affect the inner ear so that the fall can work. Why even mention this? Why introduce the plot hole to only give an unreasonable explanation to its solution?
It seems the entire film is based upon trying to justify plot holes. The whole time I'm being told why this or that is happening, according to the situation.
I like Ellen Page. But what is she doing in this movie? Is she a love interest for Cobb? No, that's sort of creepy because she looks like she's a teenager. Arthur steals a kiss but that's all there is. There was no lead up or follow through. Page's character appears out of nowhere but is given ultimate access to Cobb's mind.
The driver of the plot. Some wealthy Japanese man who apparently has the power, with his cell phone, to drop U.S. murder charges and international arrest warrants within minutes. MINUTES.
Why didn't Cobb just get plane tickets for his kids as well? He seems wealthy enough, and not tied down (obviously he couldn't be too tied down to have escaped with his wife to a dream state for 50 years).
Finally the overall premise just doesn't make sense. We're dreaming together, yet what I'm doing away from your perspective affects your dream. For example shooting guards at the compound where you can't see, or dropping chloroform on your hood in the van. In the dream state aren't we depending on psychological reactions? If you don't know I'm doing that, how does it affect you? I'm sure one of the actors gave a one-sentence explanation for this plot hole like they did all the others.
