I heard someone pose the question - why is Mal sitting on the ledge opposite their hotel room when she's about to kill herself.
Things make sense in a dream, and only after we wake up do we realize anything was strange!

She booked two hotel rooms, that way he couldn't stop her.

Saw it last night, was able to whisper the my girl friend That they would end the movie before we found out if the top fell, I like the idea of it being reality (for the reason of it being a nicer ending to) having said that the top being simulated theory works being it his own totem in his own dream.
The rest of the whole movie I treated like watching Pyschonaughts: the movie. Just had some cool parallels the strange gravity effects the mind fighting back against intruders etc.

I loved the action sequence where Yusuf's van was tumbling and Arthur is fighting projections in the hotel.

I half expected that to act as a "kick", but yeah that whole scene was awesome.

The zero gravity fight was awesome. But I would laugh out loud every time they cut back to the van slowly falling, for what felt like 45 minutes.

The idea being they were falling for about 45 mins depending how many levels down in the dream you were.

It didn't really sync up with what they said earlier though. It was something like...
An hour = Several days = Several months = 10 years in the third dream level.
So the van should have taken much longer to hit the water.

I'm guessing they are only really estimating the time speed difference seeing they dont really have a reiable point of reference while in the dream.

Actually, they were pretty good about the time. It was factors of 20. 10 seconds of the van falling is 3 minutes in the hotel room, which is an hour in the level below that, which is twenty hours in the level below that. Meanwhile, 10 seconds of the van falling is half a second in actual reality.
After that, it was all about using a "jump" to go up a level too. It timed up nicely.
Also, it makes one wonder how long Cob and his wife were under for, since an eight hour sleep cycle at the lowest level translates into 8hrs*20^4, or roughly 146 years (rounding down).

They were under for about 50 years.
He says as much in the movie.

I'm guessing when it is just the 2 of you 50 years is more than enough time to spend in the ultimate Gmod ever.

Saw it!
I say it was all a dream. There are too many repeated lines and sequences (such as his kids not aging at all when he returns home and them doing the exact same thing, leap of faith, 'half a dream', etc). His father telling him to come back to reality. The fact that getting out of 'limbo' was never fully explained. The fact Saito just shows up at the most convenient time in India. His wife was actually RIGHT when she killed herself. And finally, the audience has no totem. When were we show 'reality'? When they're on the train, do you remember how we the audience got there? The film makes it a point to say that if you don't remember how you got there, you're in a dream. Does the film show us how we got anywhere? Or are we just, there.
