      Just saw it, the concept was fantastic, but was pulled off rather poorly :\
      Gave me a couple ideas for some short stories, though.

      I watched it after seeing the trailer but the actual movie was a lot worse than the trailer showed (which is usual for films anyway), I enjoyed the first 6 minutes and it got more boring as time went on.

      I posted my review over in the "Last Movie" thread, but I was pleasantly surprised, having heard nothing about it until I googled reviews (about 60/40 bad vs good) because nothing else at the theater looked good. Maybe the trailer (which I never saw) just set people up for the wrong movie, but I really enjoyed the wry, noir tone of the film, the understated satire of the visual design, and the pacing. The dialogue and acting were dull, but adequate. The movie also delivered pretty well allegorically, and there were a number of satisfying, fitting-but-not-obvious touches deriving from the premise. For me the noir aspect was more the meat of the film than the sci-fi element.
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
