I think you're right, and after talking to breathbox up there about this a better way for me to put it might have been:

I wanted to see a movie about shared dreams and implanted ideas, but I did not want it to feature gun fights or explosions. I wanted something deeply psych related and/or trippy, and I got more typical Hollywood bs, except with a plotline I can get behind rather than one that would never get me in the theater like most.

Perhaps this is related in part to how you thought little of the trailer (but loved the movie) and I loved the trailer (but was eh on the movie); it was promising something that wasn't quite what it delivered.
