Nolan is exploring dreams and the possibilities are endless, which is why it’s a little disappointing that so much of the film feels like a generic CGI action movie, albeit a high-class one.

Inception engaged on a mainly intellectually level, but that isn't to say that film didn't pack an emotional impact.

Inception is an intriguing, frustrating film, but ultimately satisfying.

I even think its dexterous complexity is at least partially downwind of some cultural Stockholm syndrome re: complexity as legitimacy in the tradition of things like judicial and economic matters.
