I loved the movie!

There is also this to consider Spoiler: In every scene that wasn't a dream, Cobb didn't have a wedding ring. In every scene that was in a dream, he did. SO I don't see how the whole thing could be in his mind.

Also, Spoiler: to those people saying the kids didnt age, yes they did. In the dream sequences they were younger than the final scene. If you don't believe me, look at imdb.com. They have two actors listed for the children, separated by two years. You can also tell that they sound older in the scene where Cobb is on the phone with them.

Spoiler: I believe people are reading too far into it. At the end it doesn't show you that the top falls over but it is very obvious that it does. Mal and Cobb grew old together in limbo and the top locked away in her safe still spinning and it doesn't so much as wobble for all of those long years but it starts wobbling right away when he spins it? I do see that they are trying to leave it open to interpretation but still. And saying that inception had to happen quickly because of a time crunch? That doesn't jive real well with the exponential time difference in each level. They trained for weeks and weeks but couldn't afford 10 or so hours to plant a seed in Cobb? I don't buy it. Besides that is way too huge of a risk. What if it doesn't work?

Spoiler: Stella, I might be misinterpreting your comment about things happening outside of Cobb's presence in the levels of the dream but since they're shared dreams lots of things happen outside of his perception. Anyway, Cobb isn't the dreamer making the world in any of the levels. They made it clear that they absolutely could not have Cobb as a dreamer because of the influence Mal would have.
