I saw this movie last night. I didn't expect a ton due to the half **** trailer and most of the Hollywood crap being put out lately.

GO SEE THIS! I was very surprised at how well done and how cool this movie is! It grabbed me from the start and didn't let up till it ended. It does borrow certain elements from other movies, but it just makes them all work and work well!

Top notch Sci-Fi!
No excuses!

    Interesting concept executed well. Just when things start to get repetitive, the plot changes. Very good ending. I agree that the trailers did not provide much incentive to go see this.

    *** AVOID folks who have seen this. You don't want the ending given away.

    A highly recommended rental. Has the feel of a Philip K Dick story.

    I will buy it on BR when it is out. However, it sounds like a movie I watched earlier this year, forgot the name, about a bombing on a ferry in Seattle. The government kept sending a guy back in time to try and stop it.

    Great flick, had no clue what i was walking in to see. Wasnt really the happiest about it as I dont care for Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor.

    I have to say it though, he made the movie. Great story and twists sure, but he was the clincher. Not your everyday plot and some good effects, everything ties together well with a great ending. Well worth the price of admission.

    Saw this last night, thought it was GREAT. The director has now made only two movies, this, and 'MOON' with Sam Rockwell, whihc might have been my favorite movie that I saw last year.

    Both of them do a great job of messing with how you think of consciousness, and I love that.

    Duncan Jones is the director's name. I hope he continues putting out great stuff.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I had no idea this was by the same guy who did "Moon". Absolutely loved that movie and will see this one for that fact alone.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Fun fact : Duncan Jones, the guy who directed Moon and this, is David Bowie's son.

    I consider this a glowing review of this movie, because if someone with this level of mastery of the English language hated it, it's probably good.

    I had heard that. Instantly thought of Space Oddity. Then forgot about it.

    Thanks for reminding me.

    WOW sorry to disappoint you with my short mastery of the english language:frown: To be fair I would of been upset had I spent 10.00 to go to the theater and seen this but 2.50 to sit at home and watch is not all that bad, but i still think it sucked to watch 15 min over and over for 1.5 hrs.

    Thats my opinion and I'm sticking with it Bob or should i put in some 5 syllable words to make you feel better

    I disagree that this was the case. This was, in fact, my biggest fear going into the film, but it wasn't even remotely true.

    I watched it last week and enjoyed it. It is worth at least a rental.

    I agree that it is. Personally i didn't like it. Others have and that is all that really counts in the end.

    Rented it and loved it. Very good film and nothing at all what I expected.
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.
