After reading the reviews, I was expecting to be blown away - I wasn't. However, this was a fantastic example of modern filmmaking, featuring some surprisingly original directing and awesome performances all around, as well as an amazing, if avant-garde, soundtrack. It is also extremely culturally significant; it really makes you think about the world we're living in (and going to live in). It's also obvious that the whole tale has been dramatized fairly heavily, but it works, as the film never falters from its breathtaking pace, which is a nice fit for the information age.
Surefire contender for Best Picture and Best Script.
