I like good sci fi movies. This is not a good one. The plot was predictable. There was nothing unexpected. There is constant violence at every dream level. Why does every dream have to be about running from an army of thoughtless killers or assaulting a heavily defended alpine military outpost for no apparent reason? The 'architect' has little direct and obvious impact. She really was just a counselor for the star, or just wanted to throw in a 'pretty face' for the obvious and demeaning task of window dressing. They should have had her kick some butt if they were going to have a 2 hour gun battle. The special effects were far from spectacular. The star cast is great and they did what they could with what little they were given. They could not overcome the weaknesses.
