It's far from perfect but it's fun.

Pretty much.

I found a lot of similarities of the Matrix to it. My mind is still getting blown, though I've been out of the theater for 20 minutes or so.

Plus, it sounds like it's little more than bullshit liberal pro-illegal-immigration propaganda rapped in a CGI shell.

Will not watch.

It was decent action, but the anchor around it's neck for me was the heavy handed leftwing political theme. It wasn't smart or interesting. It was what you'd expect from a movie if loneiguana wrote it. It could have been so much better.

Couldn't you argue that the movie represented the outcome of an out of control, tyrannical government which had no checks or balances?

Yes. It had the kind of out of control, tyrannical government that a leftwinger might imagine you'd get (incorrectly, of course) if there were no checks or balances to keep Republicans from having their evil way. At least that's how I saw it.

Not sure if it's been discussed, but to me, it's basically an answer to the Atlas Shrugged mentality. If the rich try to leave us behind, we will eventually **** them up.

4/10.

Movie just kept making up shit as it went along. Sucked.

Sure-Oz 12-23-2013 09:42 PM

I expected better since I liked District 9. Not enough depth and Damon wasn't much of a badass. 5/10

Shogun 12-23-2013 09:46 PM

Rented it on comcast on demand. Sucked. Could have been much more.

I love me some Sci-fi, so I enjoyed it.

It wasn't anything groundbreaking or blow your mind, but it wasn't a waste of my time either.
