Story was simple, Special effects excellent, definate underlying message and reference to history. Wife loved it. 2 sequels in the plans.

Just got back from seeing it. All I can say is, "WOW"!

At the end of it everyone applauded, I can't remember the last time that happened. On the way out a little girl around 13 or so said to her mom,"it changed my life".

I don't think it was the best movie ever but it is a must see. I saw it in 3D and I hope to see it in IMAX. I recommend you see it IN THE THEATER and in 3D. I have a big plasma TV and home theater but this is a different world.

I was skeptical to say the least when I first saw the trailer, I thought that it might be a flop. But after seeing the great reviews I figured it was worth checking out, and it is.

I saw it last Saturday, and even in the old Dolphin theater on Hastings, it was incredible. I think it's the best movie I've ever seen. ( I'm easily amused, short attention span . lol) I recommended it to everybody I know.
You should see it...

Thought it was ok but nothing great. Effects were amazing but I really didn't like the look so....

Not my kind of film, I guess Im really not a good critic for this one.

I saw it in IMAX 3D. I really liked it and plan to see it again. As far as I am concerned, it is a game-changer. I am an incorrigible divx downloader, but this kind of film will bring me back into the cinema.

Though the plot was simple and predictable, I found the virtual world very creative and highly entertaining. Definitely a must-see for anyone who likes Sci-Fi.

Loved this show. visually amazing yes the plot is one that has been done repeatedly but well worth the money to see it in 3d.
hate that everyone has to over analyze and put societal context into it. I know it begs this but the concept of suspension of disbelief is one that I wish more would take part in. Honestly you can twist nearly any plot to sppeak to whatever cause you wish, this one is just easier than most.
