Not bad, but not great.

I just saw this movie. These are the thoughts that ran through my head as I watched the movie (starting from the beginning of the movie).
-I don't get it -still don't get it -ok, I think I get it now -yes, I definitely understand what is happening now I think... -hmmm, I don't think Ellen Page is right for this part -What is with all the explosions? -I'm glad I brought my ear plugs -there is no gravity in dream layers 1 and 2 but there is gravity in dream layers 3 and 4. What is with that? -how long is this movie??!! -these seats are uncomfortable! -the dude sitting beside me keeps touching me with his elbow. I think he is hitting on me. -what time is it? -ohhhh! That old dude at the end of the movie is the same old dude as the beginning clever! -wait... is he still dreaming...? I don't get it any more.
The reason why I wrote down my thoughts is as follows: I thought Inception was a good movie. However, a great movie is one where you lose yourself in the film. You forget where you are and you are only concerned with what is going to happen next. You actually forget that you are watching a movie. That didn't happen for me.
That being said, I did like how the movie kept you guessing. There was also some ground breaking effects. I think that maybe it was a little too long and there was a little too much action for my liking.
I would recommend seeing this movie. However, maybe wait until it is on DVD.
