Rating: 2/10 (8 May 2017)

I really appreciate that the negative reviews for this film capture its most horrific quality: making people feel smart for understanding a stupid concept.
If you showed this movie to a surrealist/dadaist, they would in fact find it incredible: how could so many people find this interesting, or even worth talking about? I've heard more inventive ideas from 5-year-olds than this.
Do dreams even work like "Inception"? No. No. No. God no.
This is a psychologist's nightmare. Is this also why the American public have such dreadfully low emotional intelligence?
Yes, dreams could be free of things like physical laws, but they are so much more meaningful than "wee, I can fly!" Besides gravity, all laws of reality are broken in dreams: people morph into other people, or multiple people can be the same person at the same time, or you can be both yourself and another person. Your bedroom could be your bedroom at one moment, and then also become a prison cell at the same time - and even then, sometimes there's no notion of time at all! The point is that these "images", "feelings", "characters" are driven by emotion, or your brain finally being able to connect 2 things together without pesky reality getting in the way. "The world is blue like an orange."
Inception literally un-trains the viewer from relating to his/her dreams intelligently. Rendering the amazing experience of dreaming through film is a huge challenge, and so many directors have done it much better justice than this piece of garbage.
