Inception is a great concept for a film. And the special effects in it are among the best ever created for any film. But special effects alone cannot compensate for weaknesses in a plot or story. And there are several weaknesses in the plot and story. One is the believability that corporations are evil entities striving to achieve world dominance and stealing anything they can from the competition. While this might be true of one or two minor companies, major multinationals could never afford the bad PR associated with such actions; and so it is not within the realm of believability for over 99% of the multinationals out there. DiCaprio is not bad, and the supporting cast gives it the college try, but no cigar from the classic film school. You have to have a believable story to match your great special effects and a good idea.

Who made this list? It has to be strictly for post-2000 babies; people born before 2000 would never include this film in the top 250, much less the top 15 films of all time; that is just ludicrous. Adults appreciate adult films. This is better than Fight Club and Pulp Fiction, at least.
