Well first off i would like to disagree with ros_macdonald. She states this movie is just for 10 to 20 year olds who are looking to feel smart. Yet i know as i walked out of the cinema i heard the 40-50 year old man stating it was "Just as good as Shawshank" and then he and his wife/partner went into a discussion about the themes and ideas of the movie.
What amazes me about this movie is that it's so complicated to follow yet it is so simple. I found it easy to follow and understand all the ideas that get thrown at me. I don't want to tell you all the details because the details are what truly makes the movie. It's easy to get confused and to loose track of it in some parts if you don't pay attention but that't the genius of this movie it doesn't have you looking at your watch the whole time.
Sure the idea of dreams vs reality isn't original but having layers and layers of subconscious is more original than most. The acting of the supporting roles was amazing, even though the movie was action packed and made you watch it's good because it's not the mindless movie that you can only half pay attention too and come out from the cinema reliving it.
Yes the ending was a bit cliché and you could see it coming from a mile off but it does leave you to answer the question of how did you get to be where you are now?
