Dream a little bigger... so long as you dream

Rating: 5/10 (12 October 2010)

I reviewed this on my blog http://puedisplif.blogspot.com/2010/10/inception-dream-little- bigger.html this is the latter part of the review, if any one has any thoughts...
I have a few points, or rather questions to share:
1. Why does Ellen Page's character follow Di Caprio's character in a mission that he describes as "illegal" before even explaining what it is about, what's in it for her and in fact even before showing what cool things she can do once inside a dream? He's a perfect stranger to her, yet she doesn't even blink and follows him in an illegal mission. It's a carrot without a stick and she follows it? Disbelief trembling slightly here.
2. IV tubes with sedative stick out of a machine in a briefcase. OK. I understand that's how the characters fall asleep, the machine has a timer to wake them up, but how is one person's subconscious linked to another's to share the same dream? That's not explained, just go along with it. Disbelief quivering here.
3. An idea cannot be erased and it's so strong it will just not go away, it will grow and grow until it has reached whatever aim it set out to reach. Well, I can tell you that ideas DO go away. If I remembered half of the ideas I have on a daily basis, right now my head would be bursting, but I'd have plenty to write about. Sure some ideas stick with us for a long time, even a life-time. The most topical. Fixed ideas. But they are the exception rather than the rule methinks. So my disbelief is flipping and falling off a hammock here.
4. Fischer is the heir to an empire of a corporation and victim of the Inception. Saito is the head of another corporation, a rival, who commissions the Inception to make Fischer destroy the empire. Surely Fischer would know what Saito looks like. He tags along with our heroes and shows his face to Fischer (in a dream yes, but there is no indication that in the dream faces are changed, save for one character who morphs on purpose), so why doesn't Fischer ever recognise Saito? Even if he believed him to be a figment of his imagination, he'd still have to think that it was a bit odd and suspicious to have a rival tycoon walk around in his dream. My disbelief here is quaking so bad it's expecting to see the floor topple and become the ceiling.
Did I enjoy the film? I can't wait to fall asleep and let my neurons go wild and take me away.
