its a great concept this movie, it really is. But it disturbs on how movies are now made. Do you realize that the whole movie had no actual character development. The character development was what he did in the past, there was no interactions between character whether it be love or hate or animosity. One cannot consider the multitude of interactions in the movie to justify character development. Movies and the power to captivate someone has always shown a high degree of character development...ie. Every other good movie.
Also this movie is based purely on the idea of a virtual reality. What if dreams were real and you could implement an 'idea'. Wow this movie has changed the concept of movies and the directors and writers of this movie have taken the perspective of a virtual reality and put it into a movie and suddenly its really popular.
Can you argue that if this movie had came out 15 years ago would it be just as popular?
I honestly don't think so. Many people could have written it off as some stupid movie.
It just uses the personal appeal of today's technology and changes it into a sci fi that makes you think. And although some people may not want to think. You just can't not pay attention otherwise you will get lost in the confusion of it all.
I watched this movie 4 times while it was still in theaters and each time I watched it, I understood just how complex the movie is. Its mind boggling.
And yet no character development. From beginning to end, the whole movie stays from point A to point A. Because the main character (Leonardo D'Caprio) always spoke about being stuck in a dream and how the dream with his wife somehow became a reality to them. The real thing. That being said, how do you know whether or not the whole thing is just another illusion of his human mind unto itself.
How do you know that what happened in the movie actually happened?
You don't and that's exactly what makes you think. Because I'll be honest every time I watched it, it was always the kind of movie that just compelled me to watch it again. And quite frankly, I am not the type of person to watch it again in theatres. I would have just waited for the dvd to get out and bought it.
In lieu of that I will be purchasing this movie just so I can reanalyze the movie because I want to be captivated by a movie that I felt changed the way movies are going to be made in the near future.

Interesting is all I can say now. I somewhat lost track of it at various places, so can't fully take it in.
I quite like the idea nonetheless - quite a good movie.
Like I said watch it again, since you know the major plot look and think about the little things and it hits you like a ton of bricks. It almost made me want to spoon myself because its so "WOW".
