This movie is too psychopath, and the worst is that sometimes they try to be funny, weird af!!!
... View MoreI can't understand the level of negative reviews here. The acting is excellent (especially Paul Rudd. Had no idea he could act like that... just watch and you'll know), the characters are well developed, the story is reasonably original yet rendered in a very original way as is the take on some alternate type future reality... which was just deftly portrayed to an amazing level of detail without feeling like it was borrowing ideas. Such a difficult thing to do at this point in time. Soundtrack was excellent, lots of emotions running through this. It's such a well crafted and entertaining movie all around. If you're interested in this genre I'd strongly suggest you give it a chance and make up your own mind.
... View MoreIt has a jumbled start and some odd events however I really enjoyed it once it settled in to the story. It stars among others Alexander Skarsgard who in my view has a great ability to talk with his eyes. I found the scenery well developed and the plot enough to keep it interesting. A good watch and some great actors.
... View MoreI'm very surprised by the low ratings here. As a cyberpunk fan I found it to be really good. The distopian universe they depicted is both a beautiful hommage to what's been done (with some direct visual references) and a welcome expansion to the genre. I'd say that if you like Blade Runner and the Ghost in the shell anime series then you'll likely enjoy this one. The artisic people behind it did a terrific job creating a believable neon-lit Berlin and depicting the daily life of it's citizens.So with that, do not expect a sci-fy action movie packed with laser guns. The narrative revolves around a mute guy knocking around doors looking for someone dear to him, unraveling the mystery of her disappearance. I personally like this idea of the main character to be mute as it creates more interaction with the surrounding world and it's people, thus sometimes creating funny situations. The other main characters are kind of a wierd bunch with a twisted backstory, the kind of story that's pretty common in the cyberpunk genre. (I mean.. even Blade Runner has it's share of 'em)Now the score by Clint Mansell is definitely way more subtle than what he previously composed for "Moon" but I guess the point was to help the believability of the universe, something around those lines. The result is that you don't think about it much, while still enjoying the ride.To sum up this is one of those movies I'll gladly watch again from time to time as it is, to me, a welcome addition to the cyberpunk family.(English is not my mother tongue, sorry about the painful-to-read sentences, but this movie doesn't deserve such low ratings)
