I think you have to enjoy the abstract, appreciate the artist Escher and are not annoyed by is this reality, a dream, an illusion. Is this my world, or am I a dream in your world? Does it have plot holes? Of course! It's science fiction! Does it have similarities with the Matrix series? Yes, it also has incredible special effects. Is this the most intellectual, mind blowing movie you'll ever see? I don't think so, but I was very entertained by the combination of the special effects and the plot was good enough that I'll watch it again.

I'm not overly concerned with what Director Nolan set out to do -is he trying to be an artist or make a statement? It doesn't matter to me, I enjoyed this movie. It's far better than just a blockbuster popcorn film, but it has a lot of action, explores the concept of reality and while I won't loose any sleep over it, did make me go, hmmm.
