Don't get me wrong, explanations are necessary in movies... but this movie deals with jacking in to other peoples dreams for christs sake...do you really need to know all the logistics on how this is done? It sounds rediculous no matter what... Id much rather have a movie like this deal with the dangers and misteries of getting lost in dreams than the technicality of it. 

I read the New York Times review of this and its bang on.

"It trades in crafty puzzles rather than profound mysteries, and gestures in the direction of mighty philosophical questions that Mr. Nolan is finally too tactful, too timid or perhaps just too busy to engage."

"Mr. Nolan’s idea of the mind is too literal, too logical, too rule-bound to allow the full measure of madness — the risk of real confusion, of delirium, of ineffable ambiguity — that this subject requires."
