Profound film, not for kids

If you have problems following complex plots or are younger than about 13 or 14, this is not for you. Yes, it is a movie you have to think about at times, but it's easy to get lost in the plot. Not lost ABOUT, but immersed, IN the plot. You also have to follow it carefully. No, this is not a fiilm for anyone who just wants to sit back and be entertained. My mind and thought processes were entertained with INCEPTION. DiCaprio, Watanabe and the rest of the cast were superb and the plot kept me guessing as to which level the characters were inhabiting. Ellen Page lent a bit of sanity and was also terrific. Fantastic use of advanced vocabulary. I would just say, too, that if you have a chance, see the IMAX version. I just saw it at the Ziegfeld, and now I want to go to a different theatre and experience the IMAX.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Most entertaining

I was looking forward to this film and was not disappointed. There are flaws - a flat prelude to the actual adventure, and the non- Imax version reminded me of the original House of Wax 3D movie.No matter, this was a very entertaining take on the original story. Alice was magnificent although the actress did make me think that Burton was looking for a Paltrow-type. Johnny Depp was in great form and the fantasy characters were brought to life most believably. Helena Bonham Carter was terrific as the Queen of Hearts. I would take a child to see this since I did not think that there were any really scary parts or characters. A true delight overall.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
