Arg, just lost the whole post so this is a re-write:
Ok, I just saw this movie and I came to this thread to find the answers to a couple continuity questions.
Only seen it once, so maybe I missed some of this stuff:
The father in the mountain fortress, was he a plant or a projection?
Was the team relying on him feeding himself the idea based on the set-ups from the previous levels? Isn't that why the artitecht was going to put them in a hospital, isn't it taking a huge risk that the vault would be filled with something else? Fear of death, or some deep-seeded shame?
If it was a plant, how did he know about the "dissapointment" which they didn't learn until they were 'under', and there were no un-accounted for team members.
I also don't understand the zero-gravity effect, why would being airborne in one realm cause gravity to cease in the next, but not the following?
The van is airborne (and being acted upon by gravity), why would that remove gravity from the hotel, is that a projection of the subject (and if so, why would it not affect the winter fortress?)
Also, while testing the inner-ear balance/wake-up trick, anytime the dreamer was falling he awoke...yet when the van flipped and fell it had no affect on any of them, even the team member waiting in the hotel. Why wouldn't he have awoke?
And that's igoring some of the standard movie silliness like knocking out an imaginary soldier by bonking his helmet, an imagninary army being too weak to disable a van - perhaps the subject was too vain to conjure anything more than his personal security - but why not supply them with tanks and rocket launchers instead of sub-machine guns?
Overall I really liked the movie, regardless of these minor annoyances. I liked the amibition and I liked the acting. I'm just a stickler for a movie to obeying it's own rules.
