Question of the Day: Why Doesn't Your Brain Work?

Okay, since Inception opened I've been reading sentences like these in online reviews:
  • "...ends up frustrating the audience because it all can't be figured out on the first viewing."
  • "...worth the investment just to be able to say you sat through it, even if you can't follow all of its meandering machinations."
  • "Some details of the labyrinthine plot are simply too obscure to comprehend on a first viewing."
  • "I suspect even repeat viewings won't be enough to nail this one down."
  • "...challenges our ability to keep up."
Seriously?! For a film about dreams, it's incredibly logical. It's also a lot of fun if you go with it. Listen, if you're over 14 and you cannot follow the plot of Inception, (1) you're an idiot; (2) you should not be reviewing films; and (3) you really are an idiot. Feel free to make make judicious use of train tracks.
