My wife and I went to this movie with high expectations. Unfortunately, I relied too heavily on the critics and IMDb's rating. The acting was good which would normally mean a higher rating, but I disliked this movie so much, I couldn't give it higher than one star.

The theory of the movie is complicated and, I believe, not well explained. By the end, which I thought would never come, I felt I understood the basics but not much more (maybe my wife and I are just to dumb to grasp the intricacies).

Some of the special effects were excellent, but for the most part they went on way to long. A good editing job could have eliminate enough to get the film below 2 hours. Many of the action scenes in the snow could have been eliminated altogether

My wife and I are retired and go to a lot of movies. We thoroughly enjoyed Knight and Day which has only grossed $70 million but avoided like the plague the newer movie Grown Ups which has already grossed over $130 million. It's unfortunate, but stupid is in.

When you see so many movies like we do your requirements may be higher. I want a reasonably good story, good acting, and a entertaining experience. We loved Hangover, Kick-Ass, and Toy Story 3. There was quality and entertainment in each. Except for the special effects, I can't say the same about Inception.
