Travelling through someone's mind for trivial reasons

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2010)

The idea is obviously scintillating and grand by its very nature - traveling through someone's mind, visualizing the world their mind sees, extracting secrets, and even planting new thoughts. This sort of canvass opens door to infinite possibilities and nothing is off the table.
However, if one did have this capability, you have to assume US Government would get the wind of it and would be all over it. There are tons of special psyche-ops projects as we speak. I don't believe individuals could just market that ability to corporations for their benefits. If you are a head of some corporation now, how would you even think this option exists, and how would you even approach it? There should be a better explanation of how the talent and its employer found each other and it should not be shown as something that occurs as normally as one hiring a contractor to fix their house.
The objective in this movie was so trivial - one corporation wants the destruction of other.
Bankers on wall street accomplish that 100 times a day, and they own media too, not only to travel through one persons' mind, but mold mind of entire population, as a matter of fact, entire humanity. So there was nothing too exciting for me about the conception of 'INCEPTION' itself. People are doing it to entire populations, so what is so great about doing it to just one person.
To me it would have meant more and I would have cared more, if the objective was as grand as the tool of inception. Something that impacts entire humanity and not just head of one corporation.
Also, the visions created by so called architect, are just lame. I think you would find lot more titillating and morbid stuff in a healthy male American brain, then just people walking around in suits. I have had lots of dreams, and none of them ended with a plot of B-Action movie. How does a teenage girl know what corporate world looks like?
I do like the main idea of the movie, how it opens doors to reckless imagination, even though it was barely tapped upon. I liked the acting of different characters. Most importantly I liked the personal suffering that the main character experienced, because he had this power, and he misused it, so it is the law of Universe, he pays for it in maximum. I however, don't like the attempt to show relatively happy ending for him. In epic battle of right and wrong, wrong can win all the way, but NOT at the very end. Otherwise, there is no basis for anything.
Finally, the last trick to not let the audience know whether the spinning top stops or not is just so cheap, that it should be ridiculed by critics who know what they are talking about.
