Someone who was trying to send me a message asked me to watch the show. I was all excited and a little frantic 'cuz he asked me not to read the reviews or summary first. I guess he thought I would have gotten what he wanted me to see but I wouldn't understand the context. I said, this movie better be good. Nonetheless, I gave him the benefit of doubt.
But guess what? I was disappointed. The book and idea behind the movie is intelligent, meaningful and philosophical. I liked that philosopy a lot. However, the acting was terrible. The setting was terrible too. The technology used to enhance the feel of what the world at that time had become was at the very least poor.
So, I liked the idea behind the movie and would give solely the idea a 4.5. On the other hand, I would give the acting, setting and quality a 3 (out of 5).
I told the person who recommended it that I would put him a step lower in trusting his judgment if he disappointed me with his choice in this case. And I have to say that I was disappointed, but I didn't mind overall. It isn't the type of movie that I would be pissed about if someone put it and tortured me to watch it for that period.
