Well, how should a movie about dreams or rather cascade of dream should be like? Interesting? Yes it is. One has to be alert in mind to understand and hence appreciate it though. Its about a series of dreams, dreams inside dreams and plantation of ideas in the subconscious of others and the adventures involved in doing so. The first half is almost spent in building up the plot and explaining the idea. So the first half is little slow paces and ain't as interesting. The totem as explained in the first half summaries the movie later at the climax in a surprisingly interesting way, keeping you anticipate.subtle use of physics here and there is well presented.
But a few not so interesting and explanation lacking parts just merely added to the spiderweb. The ability of Decaprio's dead wife to intervene in some one else's dream, the inability to come back if dead when sedated etc. But they had to made it look as plausible as possible and yet to make it intrigue so I guess that will not create much trouble unless some one invests too much of thoughts into it. The parallel movement of many plots is handled very nicely and crafted very exquisitely into one smart point. Characters are not built up pretty nicely to leave a memory for post movie discussions. Dialogues could have been improved. But to summarize, its a nice movie, awesome concept and well thought plots. Worths a watch and worths a hearty appreciation.
If I were the director: I would have fast tracked the first half too. Instead of explaining the concept theoretically, a small adventurous drill could have been planted in the first half. Dialogues should have been well written in relevance of the complex concept. There ain't really any dialogue that I remember.
