My quibble: we never learn how the “Jedi mind-meld”
mcguffin machine puts everyone in a shared dream reliably. But it’s a nice, meaty movie to provoke
discussions!

I enjoyed Inception
a lot more than I expected to: interesting characters, brisk pacing, the ambitious
screenplay tightly written—with eye-popping SFX.
I’d heard it described as confusing, but the basic premise
and the cues to show which “dream level” we’re in seemed clear (dreams are like
floors in an apartment building: start on the “roof” and go down or up a level via
sedation or receiving a “kick” to send the dreamer back).
