Yes, It can be, especially for those who like clear linear plots. but I really like it when stories are a bit convoluted like the movie Inception. As long as the ending doesn't turn out like Lost did Ill be happy.

Yeah, I enjoy it too. Also the conflict Elliot faces between living a normal life in the Society a part of him hates or Doing everything he can to try to changes it and destroy the invisible hand that control all of us.
