Continuity mistake: When Ariadne wakes in the Snow Fortress and the floor goes from under her, we can see her gloves fall in to the crack but in a different camera shot of her we can see the gloves are now back near her head again. (02:12:20)
Inception (2010)
Plot summary
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Berenger, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page, Ken Watanabe
Dom Cobb and his wife Mal created their own dream world for themselves. Until Mal began to believe that the dream world was real. Cobb performed the art of inception on her to make her realize that it was a dream. What Cobb didn't anticipate was that Mal would think the real world was a dream too. Mal kills herself to "wake up". Framed for her death, Cobb is on the run. When he fails to extract key information from the mind of businessman Saito, Saito strikes a deal with him: If Cobb can successfully incept an idea in the mind of Fischer, heir to a multibillion dollar empire, Saito will clear Cobb's name.

Trivia: Joseph Gordon-Levitt performed all his own stunts during the fight scene in the spinning hallway.
Question: When Cobb finally gets home to see his children at the end why don't they look any different from his memories? The story implies that he's been gone for a long time yet they don't appear to have aged.
Answer: The story really doesn't imply too heavily exactly how long Cobb has been on the run. Very few clues are given, so it could quite plausibly be less than a year since his wife's death, in which case their children would not have aged dramatically. Their voices on the phone seem compatible with children of the ages shown at the end of the film and Cobb shows no concern when reunited with them that they should be older than they are. Two sets of children are listed in the credits, of different ages.

Answer: The answer above is solid and I agree, but there's another plausible way of looking at it. It is implied at the end that Cobb could still be dreaming (we never see if the top stops spinning). If that's the case, then he would likely dream his children to be exactly how he remembers them.
