So if it is a while between the time Araidne is recruited and the mission is completed, why haven't the children aged and why are they in the same clothes? Where is the grandmother?

How does Saito find Cobb so easily?

Why does Arthur tell Cobb "our ride is here" at night, but it is daylight on the roof.

How do Cobb's children know Cobb's phone number at his hotel in Tokyo (or is it Kyoto) when he went there to escape from Cobol Corp?

Why is Cillian Murphy’s character named Robert Fischer Jr. when his dad’s name is Maurice?

Why does Cobb use his wife's token? Where is his?

I am not asking you to answer these questions, but I think these are "off" things" that we accept in the shared dream experience of watching a movie, but don't notice until the movie is over.
That is true, all good points.
Maybe I'm just too critical since all my friends said it'll be such a mind bender.
I was expecting to see a modern David Lynch film with special effects but that wasn't the case.

True Inception has a lot of points to be questioned, but Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive have tons as well.

Seeing Lost High at least 10 times, I still can't exactly explain why the events in the movie occurred in my own words.
