Alright, so the wife dragged me to this one. I really wanted to see Eragon, but she wouldn't have it. Said I had to take my guy friends to that flick, and take her to this one.

Denzel was excellent as always. He had a good supporting cast. The plot was, how can I say? Different? Some very cool concepts, but extremely far fetched... or are they? Did make you think and wonder what the Government really can/has the ability to do.

Well worth a rental. I might even buy it. Nothing flat out spectacular about this film, but overall a solid movie. (Typical Denzel style...) It combined action, drama and some out there idea's to entertain. You won't leave thinking that was AMAZING, but you won't feel like a waste of time either.

Grade: A- for originality.

Anyone else see it?

    Cool movie, for sure. Denzel always makes a movie better. And of course that Paula character didn't do too bad, either.

    I agree that it was a little too far fetched. Sure, the government has some technology that'd blow my mind, I bet,...but nothing like that. Keeping in mind that it's a movie...and that it is based on current theories...it was good.

    I think I'd give it a grade of A- or even A.
