I never saw it again and after all these years, well, I had a similar experience with Kon’s final directorial effort. I also heard that this movie was an inspiration for ‘Inception’ and it was indeed pretty obvious. Basically, this movie displayed what ‘Inception’ would have been if they would have removed all the action scenes and if they would have gone for a much weirder approach.
