About ten minutes into Inception, the new film from Christopher Nolan, my heart sank. It was blindingly obvious we were witnessing a dream sequence – only an idiot wouldn't have cottoned on to this – yet Nolan was holding back this "reveal", convinced that when it came it would knock our socks off.
Inception concerns the efforts of a burnt-out psych-ops veteran (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his team of misfits to invade the dreams of dangerous, powerful men and find out their secrets. (Mainly at the behest of other dangerous, powerful men.) As such, it consists of virtually nothing but dream sequences. The problem with these, as any fule no, is there's no jeopardy. Who cares if DiCaprio is killed in a dream? All that happens is he wakes up. (To read more, click here.)

I agree...Inception despite the 9.2/10 IMDB gave it is like a dream in as much as you get the feeling youve been here before....I didnt care about the characters or identified with what they were doing which was morally wrong and purposeless. How many times can I pay to watch cities fall down or curl up?

@Deanybott Do you think it was deliberate? I hadn't thought of that. It was if my old iPhone was suffering from Huntingdon's (16 hours ago)
