Review

Okay, this may sound odd, but, I try to hate Matt Damon movies, not for any reason in particular I just don’t like him, but, I can’t seem to dislike his movies, this one being no exception.

The story is a basic love story, but the over riding “adjustment” storyline was so interesting, finally a new idea, and the direction was very well done, usually with films like this I find it hard to follow along with whats going on, not so with this film.

The ending chase scene was well played out too, quite literally had me on the edge of my seat. The final scenes however were slightly disappointing, bur overall a very enjoyable movie

Well worth renting, i wouldn’t buy it though, that might be my dislike of Matt Damon though

Review

This movie is set in the future so lets start this review with their vision of said future. So the future architecture is convincing and quite beautiful, the rest of it however, fashion and weaponry was just awful, they insist on tight clothing for Theron which just makes me think they must not have had enough plot, and they certainly do. And the weapons were straight from the Lucas arts/star wars model school, so big and ridiculous, this is supposed to be a future version of what we have now, they let their imagination run a little too far with that.

As for the science, i don;t think they even consulted anyone on that, but i don’t mind that as much, it was cool

 

The action/fight sequences were very well choreographed which is  good to see, overall the theme to the movie is a little tired, but the execution was very good, although the very end scene was kind of crap, but, did end it well.

 

As a final comment i will say the fly catch at the start was gross! but,  i enjoy this movie, i would recommend this to any sci-fi fan

 

Rating: ★★★★☆
