People seem to make this movie out to be far more confusing than it actually was. I found it pretty straightforward, so although there is a lot to keep track of, it's not really difficult to follow. Now something like Primer, on the other hand...

I've seen several, and this one does an alright job, although with too much text: http://i.imgur.com/HXLOw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HXLOw.jpg

  I don't see a title on that graphic. Is that for Primer? Which I haven't seen yet? Should you include a spoiler warning?

I completely agree. I watched the movie thinking to myself every now and again "OK when's the full on mind fuck coming?" but it never really came, not for me anyway. Afterwards when I heard or read people talking about how confusing or hard to follow the movie was, I began to wonder if perhaps there was some huge extra layer of complexity to Inception that just went totally over my head. A bit more time has passed now and I don't think there was. I still very much liked the movie though.

  The only confusing bit is whether he was actually ever in the real world at all, or it was all a dream. This is almost the main concept of the film, and not answered when we see the spinning top still spinning at the end. Great film, glad to see a great sci-fi film doing well at the box office as well. Moon was a great story last year, that did not do so well. Worth checking out.

    I saw Moon and thought it was good too. I liked how it seemed to intentionally and quite successfully avoid every cliched direction the story could have taken. The only confusing bit is whether he was actually ever in the real world at all, or it was all a dream. This is almost the main concept of the film, and not answered when we see the spinning top still spinning at the end. Yeah, though I didn't really see this as confusing, simply an unknown left open to interpretation. I was half waiting for some kind of twist like say, it turns out that Cobb was dreaming the whole time and is in reality the heir to the company and is the target of the Incpetion... or something. I didn't really think that one through too deeply though and I'm not sure that a twist like this would have made the movie better in any case. I guess it just comes back again to that expectation that was built up in me of it being a full on "mind fuck" movie. In some ways I was kind of happy walking out of the cinema that my mind had not been fucked, just well entertained.

    The ending isn't confusing, just ambiguous.

Exactly, for some reason the people i've talked to try to find even more hidden things that they actually are. Which just says how much they loved it. Awesome movie.
