Some interesting comments above that's sparked some rambling comments...(just comments BTW, and not huffy digs at people.)
I think that I am someone who does go into a movie expecting to see the vision of the filmmakers (including the music) and I believe that I didn't watch the film with my own expectations of what the music should be. I'd heard Zimmer's score before I saw the film and there's something about this style that I like as a listening experience independent of the film (hell, I like Jean-Michel Jarre's 45 minute final track on his album Waiting For Cousteau as a listening experience!!)
I don't believe that I sat through the film thinking that "this bit should have this music" or "that part should have this (clichéd?) musical device". I just felt that, at the end, the film would have been enhanced with a score that seemed to be more integrated with the visuals rather than just broadly painting a feel. (And no I don't mean it should be a mickey-mouse score!)
To me, applying my own personal preferences onto a film is completely natural to me - and in no way negates anything that the original filmmakers had in mind when they made the film. I've been watching/listening to film music for 40 years now, particularly 70s/80s film music. Before "music" included just being "sound". Maybe todays scores in the vein of Inception and (to a lesser extent) The Dark Knight are almost subliminal in their effect rather than having to have more obvious devices? And that may be my loss.

I have seen Inception. Tomorrow I will post more thoughts but I think it's one of the finest scores by Zimmer (I mean as heard in the movie). It fits perfectly with the mood of the movie.
Maybe his best "score" as heard in the movie I ever heard.
Ironically the longest tracks in the Album (the vangelis-like ones) are almost unnoticiable in the movie while the shortest track "one simple idea" is versioned and re arranged almost in the whole movie.

No, it was a score with too many obvious references.
And one of the facts that I really think this score is superb in the movie it's becausen the Vangelis-like/ Night at the opera stuff is almost omited.
How I said the whole movie is more the sound from "Radical notion" and "One simple idea", wich there were (and obviously are) my favourite tracks since the beggining. So it makes sense , D. -

"pojection" is a 7 minutes track! the whole opening of the movie!!!!
the other, it's 1 minute long. ( I think that track is corrupted or something because it ends really badly..) -

But How I say, the second tracks seems unfinished. something is wrong. -

Projection is clearly a film version that has its best content already on the soundtrack, but within a better context on the album. Not particularly strong, I'd say, though the alternate Dream Is Collapsing theme version at the end is pretty cool. It makes it all the more clear to me why the soundtrack album has this length, something I also knew when seeing the film.
