Confusion on the final top-spin, I think, was done intentionally. The sequence is: the top falls over, Cobb heads out to play with the kids, the top is upright and spinning. It is as though Cobb has been the victim of inception himself and refuses to perceive something that contradicts that he might not be in the real world. This would hold true for the other times the top falls over earlier in the movie.

There were large parts that were obvious and predictable, and yet, I felt that it was a fine popcorn flick. I went in expecting a fun sci-fi film and that’s what I got. I think part of the difference might have been that I have avoided whatever hype is out there. I’m rather spoiler-phobic so avoid reviews and the like myself unless it is a movie I’m not sure about in the first place.

Was it an Oscar worthy film? Maybe for special effects and the like; it was a beautifully created movie. For what it is, an interestingly designed sci-fi film with a somewhat novel premise, it was pretty good.
