Thread: Inception ending, finally explained? Wrong...

Well, Limbo is "stored" on that dream sharing device that they use. I don't remember what it's called. They say so when they are attacked by DCs in the rainy city and Saito is dying. Cobb isn't using that device when he tests the sedative. No Limbo is stored in whatever device he uses then. So Limbo can just as well be a dream version of Mombasa

I want to be proven wrong, though, so there is hope that the ending isn't a dream ^^

[Edit]
"Limbo" isn't a beach, it's whatever you want it to be. Bot on the other hand, "unconstructed dreamspace" would least likely be Mombasa... But he can't spin the spinning top. What other explanation can there possibly be? A hole in the story? Either that he didn't go to Limbo or that he did, and somehow Limbo was whatever he thought reality was.

Stored? Mal and Dom used that thing in flashbacks and that's where they built that city, are you saying that the team is using the same one that Mal and Cobb used... Come to think of it.. How did they, two civilians, get ahold of one anyway? Also, call me an idiot.. But why exactly was Cobb offered that job in the first place?.. This is sounding ridiculous and "dreamy"... hmmm...

Well, yes, I think so? Cobb worked for Cobol. He has used the same device since then. It is probably very expensive, so it wouldn't surprise me if they used the same one. Cobb was no civilian, though. We are not told whether he worked for Cobol back then, too, but if he did, that's how he got the device. Cobb was offered the job (which one?) because he is the most skilled extractor (which is why Cobol hired him) and because he did good on Saito's audition on the train, even though "it was obvious". There are many holes in the story. Not holes that can't be filled in, but holes created by having to limit the length of a movie.
