Not too sure what all the fuss is about Nolan has directed far better movies.

How this can be rated in the top 10 of the 'Top 250' index only demonstrates the flaws of the IMDb rating system as much as it does to the rationale behind general movie-goers.

The idea of a dream within a dream, or lucid dreams, or memories, has been touched on and seen in other films. Vanilla Sky is a perfect example, which is actually a much better film overall. The acting is more powerful and you begin to develop a strong connection with the characters throughout the movie, unlike in Inception which is rather more focused on plot.

Inception...well, I wish it really were a dream.
