with Ewan McGregor & Scarlett Johansson. And we always love Steve Buscemi in anything. ;-)

Really enjoyed it, kind of a cross between The Matrix, Running Man, and The Truman Show.

cmeisenzahl's description is on the money.

Liked it quite a bit. Good Sci-fies are rare. Nice boat. Nice motorcycle.

Better then I thought it would be. Started off a little slow, but picked up nicely.

I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. As Sci-Fi movie it was quite good, though Michael Bay continues to ruin action scenes.

Hope everyone noticed the Inova X5.

I saw that one a couple of months ago and I've recommended it to everyone. I was more than pleasantly surprised, by that one. Awesome, awesome, awesome!

It was a good surprise. Besides that actress, the boat was very cool also!

(And... an X5 was used at one point!). ;)

The movie appealed to me as well.

It was a little more vindictive than most, but, well, I like that too. ;)

Just recently saw it (WHOoooooo go college network...ing :-D)

Its was a pretty good movie, a bit disjointed sometimes, but overall, really good. Human body queasy people should watch out tho... There's a scene that disturbed me a bit even though it was quite obviously fake. And considering I'm thinking about a bio major... o_O. I personally like dead, dried (or relatively dry) bodies compared to um... yeah (dissecting/taking care wise). Other than that, excellent movie. (all you Los Angeleans should go check out the Body Worlds exhibit in the California Sciencenter!!! though I don't know if its still up...).

Word on the actress.
