When I first saw Inception in theaters, I was a fourteen-year-old enamored by the sheer scale and ambition of the project. I could not help but nerd out about all the tiny details and that open-ended scene, come on! Christopher Nolan could produce nothing but perfection for my teenage years.

Then, I got older. I recently watched this again at home and realized how many plot holes and inconsistent character decisions exist just so that the story can go on at all. There is a lot of confusion the film presents that my fourteen-year-old self neglected because, BOOM, DID YOU SEE THAT TRAIN? Dreamception, come on! We all know the memes.

This film is larger than life and it is a load of fun. Just don't expect it to hold up to a magnifying glass upon closer analysis. Screen Junkies put it best when they called Inception basically the Matrix without the aliens and more plot holes.
