Anyone else see this yet? I really liked it a lot! but it was no where near as confusing as everyone said it was. I read that it was impossible to understand on the first viewing so the whole time I was second guessing everything that was going on. Turns out it's pretty straight forward. Yeah there are some twists and turns but just pay attention and you won't get lost.

I'm waiting a couple weeks to see it so that the theater isn't full of people chatting or using cellphones.

I thought it was awesome too, a lot of people I know seemed to be really confused by it though. I liked how the ending was left up to interpretation, I wanted him not to be dreaming but I think he probably was.
We went and saw it today. Fantastic film with great writing and effects. Another hit for Nolan.

I went into the movie not having heard anything about it being confusing, so fortunately my expectations weren't altered. I was pretty much a blank slate.
I really enjoyed the movie. It was a bit of a challenge at times to keep track of who was creating the next dream world.
The most confusing part for me (which I've since come to understand) was figuring out the reason for the age difference between Cobb and Saito and the beginning and end of the movie... the whole "being in limbo" thing and the amount of time that transpired.
10 thumbs up for Inception.

everyday i ask myself "was he awake, or in limbo" at the end and theres more than enough evidence that hes awake but i just wished the camera hadnt gone black so i could know for sure.
I kinda think that was the point. It sure has everyone on the internet talking about it.

The reason why that is said is because there are many different interpretations of the movie. The most straightforward reading of the film is that everything happens as depicted concretely, and he eventually goes home and sees his children in the real world.
But there are enough little things to make you wonder if he was still stuck in the created dream world, or if he was dreaming the whole time. During the chase through Mombasa, he gets stuck in that alley--classic dream moment. And of course the end of the movie not showing whether or not the top stops spinning... Not to mention that totems are supposed to be created by their owners. His totem was owned by his wife.
So, did his wife die? Maybe she's waiting for her husband to wake up. Maybe he's still trapped in Limbo without knowing it.

I thought it was pretty obvious that he wasn't awake at the end. His kids hadn't aged at all. Even bigger than that, they were still wearing the exact same clothes and doing the exact same thing as they were when he first left. One interesting theory is that in the end, Saito used inception on Cobb to implant the idea that he was now awake because Saito knew he was too far gone into limbo to fulfill his promise to Cobb. He looks at the gun but we never hear the shot. I think it all hinges on whether or not Saito really did shoot him at the end to wake him up.
