Inception Explained: a really cool scrolling animation of the plot

This was really well done. I'd just like to point out a few things, as someone who's watched Inception way too many times:<p>1) It is never said that 3 levels is the maximum depth of a dream until Limbo occurs. My interpretation has always been that Cobb and Ariadne hooked up a shared-dream machine to Fisher's dead body, which brought them into Limbo.<p>2) Why are there 2 Limbos? There's the one Cobb and Ariadne follow Fisher and Mal into (which has the architecture of the Limbo that Cobb and Mal shared all those years ago). There's then the Limbo that Cobb and Saito share, where it looks like Saito architected the environment (Asian influences). And if they were the same Limbo, why was Cobb washed up on a shore with no memory of how he got there in Saito's Limbo?<p>3) In the Limbo that Cobb and Mal shared, all they needed to do was kill themselves to wake up. Why then was the defibrillator needed to wake Fisher up from death in Limbo to Dream 3?

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when people think inception was some stupid-deep, hard-to-understand movie?<p>It was (I thought) very straight-forward. The bigger problems with the movie come from the plot holes pointed out by Pewpewarrows. Do those holes perhaps contribute to the confusion?

While these scroll sites are pretty cool... I don't know if its the javascript library or maybe that is the affect the site's creator wanted but it doesn't feel smooth.<p>Maybe because of the scroll speed the animations have fewer frames to animate which makes it look choppy? I'm not sure.

Perhaps someone here can explain something that has annoyed me since I saw Inception. Falling (accelerating under gravity) is meant to "wake you up". Whilst falling you feel weightless - almost by definition (if you and the weighing machine are accelerating in sync, you apply no pressure to it). For some reason falling causes the loss of gravity in the dream world, and there's that whole scene about "recreating gravity". But since falling is indistinguishable from being weightless, what is stopping the dreamers from waking up? And why does weightlessness only go one level down?<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weightlessness" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weightlessness</a>

Check out #5 for another illustrated version of the plot, and one that predates the movie:<p><a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_19021_5-amazing-things-invented-by-donald-duck-seriously.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cracked.com/article_19021_5-amazing-things-invent...</a>

I don't understand how this is a "cool animation". In both Chrome and Firefox it does nothing by default. Pressing up or down moves the page by a single (useless) frame. Pressing page up or page down moves it by some random number of frames. Again totally useless, since it often ends up in a middle of some fade-in or fade-out. The scroll wheel is no better. Nor the scroll bar. What am I missing?<p>The content might be interesting, but it's impossible to tell since this might be the worst way of presenting data I've seen this year. Which is quite an achievement, congratulations :-)

This froze my entire computer (newish macbook pro) and and I had to restart. Also didnt have that much stuff open, anyone else?

Out of curiosity, does anybody have an estimation about how much money the link (which I assume to be affiliated) may generate?

Can someone explain how its done?

The first illustrated version of Inception is here <a href="http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=1&#38;loc=D2002-033&#38;s=date" rel="nofollow">http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=1&#38;lo...</a>

This is even more confusing than the film :)

i get a spammy access-restriction warning (see screenshot: <a href="https://img.skitch.com/20120321-86btw83e3gcnea6x4prr8wcj75.png" rel="nofollow">https://img.skitch.com/20120321-86btw83e3gcnea6x4prr8wcj75.p...</a> )

that's probably really cool on a fast computer.

So does the top stop spinning or not!?

The webpage is very garbled in IE9

So how does this work in VMWare? :P
