Save yourself the money. Go rent any of the Matrix movies. Same concept and the action is just as good. Absolutely nothing new here and the first half hour is not a hook, it's why people fall asleep. Way too convoluted. If Nolan wants to plant a question, then get to it in the first 5 minutes and then get the story going. Plus there are so many inconsistencies including the main one which is, if you KNOW you're dreaming, then why do you give an F that you're being shot at? Now let's talk about the Van. The bad guys throw about a zillion bullets through that thing all told for about 15 minutes of the film and only one dude gets shot....ONCE. Then it takes 30 minutes at the end of the film for the van to fall off a bridge and hit the water! 30 MINUTES! That's why people fall asleep! And let's not even talk about snow skiing. It totally lost me right there. Suddenly it's "Ice Station Zebra." (A really old movie that's twice as good as this one.) Inception is way over the top in every way possible especially in trying to be more-intelligent-than-thou. YUK.
