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)

The first half mostly involved wondering when the stories are going to link up and the second half mostly involved watching them link up. Enterta...( read more)

October 3, 2009Gerald McMorrow?s debut Franklyn lives in two worlds ? the claustrophobic hell of Meawhile City and the latter day world of London.
In Meanwhile City religion of any sort rules and a masked vigilante Preest (Ryan Phillippe) is looking for revenge. Undoubtedly, there are strong ...( read more) -
September 20, 2009An OK film that could have done with more substance. It was constantly trying too hard to be stylish, touches are seen on everything -- a corset strap -backed mask, the bad guy police in top-hats, the rediculous amount of red wine consumption, its all very obvious and very delibe...( read more)

September 15, 2009Different, really confusing, bit slow and weird from the beginning, then it all makes sense. Acting was really good, and the pictures of creepy dark Meanwhile City just amazing. I guess it's good to watch this kind of movies once for sometimes.
