Simply. Awesome.
Totally blown away by this movie. Absolutely gobsmacked at how entertaining and engaging this was. Seemed to strike a chord on so many different levels...
Such a bizarre idea - but it works so well. A sort of modern era action/horror/drama. An infinitely more sophisticated Starship Troopers, but with integrity, and with some serious ethical points to make. In my relatively humble opinion, puts the likes of Avatar and Hurt Locker to shame... It's a travesty that this movie didn't get more global recognition. To be fair, it's not an obviously commercial affair, and it's at times difficult to watch - particularly in acclimatising the audience to the idea, and in some of the graphic imagery. There's not that universality that the afore-mentioned movies engender: with 3D techno wizadry, and a fresh-ish take on war in Iraq.
In just under two hours, I was genuinely disappointed that there wasn't more! The story's not finished, and there seems to be scope for a sequel. But perhaps that's the beauty of it, an unfinished sympathy that leaves you to guess and conjecture. Full all its graphic imagery, you're still left with much to the imagination.
To conclude: simply awesome.
