Pretend to follow? There were only 4 levels, David Lynch would have this film for lunch. First, the ending wasn't a suspense; the two children blondie kept remembering for months were still the same age, and in fact doing exactly the same thing, meaning that apparently, small children don't age and live on grass for months/years at a time.

Further, the saddening addition of Ellen Paige as the 'one person the guy could confide in' is only the latest in a string of sausage party flicks by Nolan where the women are furniture at best, at worst (in this case) non-existent.

The eye-candy was great and the music was fine. But Nolan is fast becoming the next Shyamalan: he had one good idea - memento, also a dude flick, but well-executed - and then let off a string of good-enough's instead of actually crafting a narrative.

Perhaps I'm less forgiving of Inception than the Dark Knight or The Prestige, but that's only fair. Inception failed to include either David Bowie or Christian Bale, making this hollow storyline a nightmare.
