There is so much more depth to be pried out of the material. I would have rather watched DiCaprio's perception-relative years long journey and search through mystical and fantastical limbo to find Saito (that would have been a much better film in and off itself) than the actual film as delivered.
I think we watched different movies. My first initial reaction was "I get it, 10/10, damn why did Ellen Page make the 3rd scene at Fortress Mountain, this is why interns don't get architecture design jobs."

I didn't need a 2nd viewing (though it was nice to absorb) but there are a billion angles you can look at this movie. Its so versatile and comprehensive. I don't think its shallow at all.
