What a disappointment. After all the rave reviews, I left fairly empty.
The feel and lighting reminded me of the superficial A.I. The chase was too long. The use of previously written music, i.e., Shubert, Tchikovsky, Bach, did not help the story. The idea that we'll have any of the technology shown there in 52 years is, for the most part, preposterous.
I think I would have enjoyed the film more if the chase hadn't been so long that I got bored and picked apart the movie during the chase. I went for human or societal commentary, which is what good science fiction is good at. Whereas there was certainly some, the way the story was presented did not pull me with it. A shame, because it had potential.
