Wanted to like Inception but found it the script so contrived, so tedious it became unwatchable. I think the writer/director knew this and interspersed silly chase scenes every 15 minutes to keep the audience awake. The dialogue was downright laughable. "What do we do to wake from the dream?" one character asks. The other replies, "we'll have to use the kick!" I'm watching it thinking, that is about the dumbest movie device I've ever heard. Filled with dumb scenes of characters floating in a hotel. Maybe some people go to this kind of movie and have low expectations and are just happy with the visual stuff. Sorry, when I pay $10 (or $17 at IMAX) I expect a well written story. I read that the writer spent seven years on the script. The poor result shows he must have been asleep most of that time.
