I like it.
I love verticals.

Don"t get Inception?
The characters don't either.
What's to get? It was a highly overrated flick that wasn't nearly as mind-blowing as folks made it out to be. Heck, I almost fell asleep myself the first hour.

I loved the story, but I have a weird theory about the dissonance between people that think it was "Brilliant but too complicated" and people that think it was fun and easily understandable.
Look at the confused
Then back at me
Back to the confused
Then back. to. me.
Sadly, they aren't me.
But they could be if the played video games all their lives
Look down, look up. Where are you?
You're on a video game forum discussing complicated plots like LOST and the Nemesis arcs as if they are basic simplicity.
What's in your hand? I have it.
It's a post explaining the Infinite Crisis so simply a newb could understand.
Anything is understandable when you submerse yourself in intelligent and/or convoluted story lines instead of Jersey Shore.

I submerse myself in Jersey Shore and Lost.
What does that make me?

Saw an article in the Star Ledger (jersey newspaper) that basically said the same thing. Gamers all, almost universally, got Inception. Older folks/ non-gamers had a harder time of it.

Your mileage may vary. My old man didn't have trouble following the story and he often gets lost in much simpler plots. Of course it might just be that Inception did real good job at holding his attention so much that his mind never wandered.

When I was done watching Inception my GF commented that there had been a noisy brat in the seat next to her who had been a pest throughout the movie. I hadn't even noticed. Rarely will a movie keep my attention that well.

Too many alts to list.
I enjoyed it. I didn't think it was that difficult to follow.

Neither did I in the least. It was very basic for me. Then I went online and read people saying something like "Wait... there's a dream inside another dream!? WTHeck!?"|

I honestly believe that people that have played point-and-click adventures have an advantage. They spend their time training to understand the logic of insanity.
Urban Dictionary has a word for that: "ineption"
I get it!
(Both the movie and the pun)
