waddya guys think? haven't heard SHIT about this movie but it looks cool enough...


I've now seen it. Spoilers/Thoughts below:

A decent movie, not mind blowing by any stretch of the imagination. Straight forward plot that truly was not all that original. That being said, it was done fairly well. A little overboard on the nano-tech but eh, I can let it pass.

7/10 from this guy.

If you can't put your suspension of disbelief hat on for > 30 seconds, you will probably not enjoy this movie.

It reminds me of a loose reimagining of Lawnmower man only with a technical genius in the place of the developmentally challenged character.


looks like a decent flick based on the trailers imo.

I'm interested in seeing how crazy the movie gets. I'd go to see it no matter what just for the director, Wally Pfister. He was the DP for just about all of Christopher Nolan's films and this is his directorial debut.

Johnny Depp used to be in a lot of good stuff. I kinda see him as a sellout nowadays, so that alone makes me think it's not going to be very good. The trailer was over the top to me as well, which always makes me think they're trying too hard to make it seem exciting.

Probably way overrated, like most of his movies. I'll still watch it though because all of his movies are at least watchable (except Crybaby)

you can tell that it was Nolan's DP, and you can tell it was produced by Nolan. You can also immediately tell that it was not written/directed by Nolan.

I want to see this as much as I wanted to see Her starring Joaquin Phoenix.

Oh man, the movie is getting railed by everyone. Looks like ya'll are better off saving your money and watching Capt. America again.

Rebecca Hall is awesome. Iron Man 3, the Town, Vicky Christina Barcelona, etc...
