June 16, 2009I had been anticipating this movie for quite a while -and was partially disappointed in it, just like I've been in most movies this year.
Firstly, though, I have to hand it to the screenwriter and the director for the brilliance of both the idea and the setting. The performances...( read more) -
April 27, 2009Will certainly get better after a second watch due to expectations. Everything I had read and seen of this film, from articles and trailers, really played up the futuristic Sci-Fi aspects. This is only one of 4 plots in this film, the other three take place in contemporary London...( read more)

August 30, 2009"Somebody once said that religion was deemed by the commoners as true, by the wise as false and by the rulers as useful."

November 22, 2009I think the Key to this movie I possibly that it is not actually a Sci-Fi. Well it is but Ryans character appears to be a paranoid schizophrinic. He halucinates the world we see as meanwhile city. That is why the other character are in the real world. The facility that held him w...( read more)

November 16, 2009It had a "prestige" effect where I can guess the movie half way through, but I still enjoy it. The thing that bothered me is the use of two major characters with rather minor roles.

November 15, 2009Wow. I'd never heard of this movie before I came across it. The concept was very interesting, I think I'm going to to have to watch it another time to really understand the concept of it. I did love the images of Meanwhile City, they were hauntingly beautiful. The dark impressive...( read more)
