Awake or asleep?

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2016)

I'm not very into violence or "Matrix" type plots. I wasn't actually going to watch this movie, but it had DiCaprio and Cotillard, both of whom are just unbelievably good actors, so I finally decided to give it a try. The dream-scape imagery was pretty interesting when it wasn't blowing up or crashing. I really liked the Robert Fisher character who played out the emotional struggle of coming to terms with the death of a non-loving parent well. The end tripped me out! The key players all appeared to wake up on the airplane, Dom made it through the entry port without a problem and got home safely, and then his children were "exactly" the same as they had been when he last saw them, clothes and all! It seems like he was actually still dreaming, but this time without Mal.
