What a fantastic movie this was. The action scenes were some serious buisness and the dark side of the movie was so very disturbing. I dont think ive ever been like "OMG" during an action scene since jurassic park 1.

Definitely go see it!!!! NOW. confused.gifconfused.gif

    I have to agree, a very good flick. Has a soft ending, but a very good movie none the less.

    The thing is, the movie had a godo idea, a great production design, and excellent cinematography, but some of the worst action editing. making the scenes much more confusing rather than clear. I enjoyed it, aside from the usual Michael Bay stupidities. (Why does a Medical Doctor suddenly turn into a commando?) Script was decent.

    It was like Gattaca-lite, with some car chases thrown in.

    Major bonus points for Scarlet Johanson. I don't remember her looking that hot in Lost in Translation....

    Haven't seen it yet but this looks a lot like a remake or ripoff of a really bad movie called The Clonus Horror the only reason I saw it is that it was on MST3000.


    ****possible spoiler****


    In Clonus rich people would have clone made of themselves and use these clones as spare parts.

    I'm interested to see it, but the damned trailers seemed to give so much away!?

    Exactly!!
    After seeing the trailer of it, I felt that I had already seen what happens in the movie and all the best bits of it. Therefore I really have no motivation to see it.
    I hate it when trailers do that!

    saw it on friday. meh, it was ok. nice action scenes and such. the product placement pissed me off, though. it felt worse than i-robot. the camera sat there, framing just an alcoholic energy drink for about 1-2 seconds. that was fucking insane. also, the nice ad for cadillac was cute. by cute, i mean blood spurt from the groin inducing. i'm drinking my aquafina now because of watching that movie.

    at first, i liked the idea of all the product placement, cause it seemed realistic to me. this was a compound that a bunch of corporations tried to get exclusive distribution rights to, so you blatantly see their product lying around. aquafina, x-box, and other crap. but then you find out that the outside world knows nothing of what the compound actually was, so there were no exclusivity deals. blarg. i'm gonna go and cut myself. however, i did chuckle at the clavin klein ad, since i used to walk past that exact one during lunch times.

    oh, and i thought scarlet johanson looked like a skank with the big blonde hair.

    Just got back from seeing this movie, and I felt compelled to post my opinion smile.gif

    I thought it was excellent! The action scenes were very cool and the characters were all very well done. I was actually on the edge of my seat, and it's been a while since that's happened.

    And Scarlet was uber fuckin hot
