An action film attempting to be a cerebral thriller, it succeeds decently as an action flick, but don't think too hard about it, or you'll uncover all the sloppily concealed plot holes.
Smarter than the average Hollywood fare, with a wonderful dystopian twist. Leaves as many questions as it answers, and makes for some great watercooler chats.
I liked the action in this movie, the plot was ok i guess. Some parts of the movie are quite moving, and interesting. Worth a watch.
Besides being a matrix inspired idea, the action was good, plot was a little weak, good cast and acting. I'm sure there will be a part 2.
A relatively straight-forward sci-fi thriller. The layers concept confused some people, but it isn't any more complex than The Matrix. The ending was a tiny bit ambiguous, but not a dichotomy that ruins the movie.
Great movie that left room for conversation. One drawback was a constant reminder of the premise, as if it was assumed the audience had a short memory. Beyond that, a very entertaining movie.
