Director: Christopher Nolan

Quite an involved and twisted storyline. The movie takes a lot of effort in explaining the rules, developing characters, etc. Just like in the Matrix, even within someone's dream, there's quite a lot of firepower and explosions. That's gotta be a Hollywood requirement of some sort. Then again, some of the initial explanation scenes where they sit in a cafe and things just explode w/o any firepower was cool. Now, that's what dream sequences should be like. Things happen unlike in real life. Surprisingly, they didn't have the dreamer or the architect change the things around mid-dream for their own advantage. Kept me guessing until the end if everything is real or memorex. I liked this movie quite a lot. My Rating: 8.5
