came into this movie about 10 minutes late and spent the next 5 minutes thinking what have I brought my wife to But then it just draws you totally in..brilliant actor in the lead role.. very original, a bit topical like all good sci-fi's and very very enjoyable

I thought it wasn't too bad but I felt sorry my girlfriend having to sit through it.

Then at the end she turned to me and said, "I loved it!"

Each to their own, but I didnt love it.

The evil soldier & military industrial complex versus a noble do-gooder and down trodden masses is a theme Ive seen just one too many times -- no matter how its been "updated".

Plus, I thought it way too preachy in consideration of obvious allegory with current day issues.

But I was an english major, so perhaps Im "over-trained" with regard to reading into things.

 

[The General]

But I was an english major,

Really? Which regiment?

 

[Rutledge]

Really? Which regiment?

Good one.

The Suds & Dames regiment based out of Drunhkshire..

I just watched the DVD version. Avatar meets Black Hawk Down meets The Office. Fun.
