If this story was so compelling and thought provoking why was the word dream mentioned over 800 times. The only thing this film had going for it were the special effects which were excellent. The cast and acting were solid but you didn't care about any of the characters because the story was so convoluted despite the performances. The audience which were all SAG members were laughing at the end because it was so ridiculous trying so hard to make sense of the impossible. Long at 140 minutes maybe okay for special effect junkies but that's it. You wanted so hard for the story to stimulate the mind but that was an exercise in futility.
