I hate when I watch a movie and the dialogue is kind of like just reciting a plot summary to me. That was my biggest concern with this movie. It underestimated the intelligence of the viewer. I didn't need the kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun saying, "Paradox!" when he tricked the projection into obviously falling for a paradox. Also, the music was kind of obnoxious. It forced the suspense. The action took over the story which moved the movie from an interesting query into the human subconscious and dream states to, essentially, Die Hard.

Inception = (Minority Report) + (Matrix 3 - Matrix 1) + Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind + (Live Free or Die Hard - Die Hard) < Mullholland Drive

Is that out of 4 or 5 stars?

Ok, that isn't so bad then. The fact that you included Mulholland Drive, one of my top 5 all-time favorites, in your comparison has me a little intrigued. I still plan to see Inception soon, though I'm not expecting to be blown away.

One of these days, we'll have to start a thread on the top mind-bending/bizarro films of all time.

YES! I live up to rok's standards! Mulholland Drive is one of my top 5, too!!!
