A visual spectacle

A good movie, but not as mind-blowing or complex as other reviewers say.
I appreciated the intricacy of the levels and the sub-plots, but felt many were undeveloped. A tricky and rigorous way to weave a story. A worthy effort.
The special effects are appreciable, but if you're following the real plot, it's a long and tedious way to get to resolution.
The Prestige, also by the same director, is a fantastic movie with much less character abstraction.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Disclaimer: I did not read the novels.
1) Interesting concept.
2) Way too violent. Unnecessary. I left the movie ill.

Had it cut down on some of the gratuitous violence, it may have garnered more stars. I don't need to see twisted torture to "get" the story. There was a point for some violence to illustrate the state of humanity at that time, but this went WAY overboard.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
