Entertaining, well done, but....not what some hype it to be.

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2010)

I had heard this movie was mind bending.
It is always a risk to watch something that has been hyped up to be an intellectual masterpiece....because generally nothing will live up to your expectations.
As others have stated, the ending was predictable, and several plot and dialogue elements seemed too contrived and banal. But for all that, it was a creative and entertaining thriller.
Personally, I thought Blade Runner was more thought provoking and Memento more innovative.
Maybe the problem is that I have seen so many of the movies from which this film seems to draw inspiration that Inception did not strike me as terribly original or thought provoking.
Anyway, it was entertaining. Definitely worth a watch.
