There are few movies that I've seen that I can say are completely original. This is one of them. Nolan introduces new ideas for filmmaking and literally sets the filmmaking bar at a new high. This film is fresh, entertaining, complex and leaves you thinking afterwards. I will be going to see it again, probably more than twice.
First off, form your own opinion of this movie!! Dan Brown's books do have a hard time translating into movies. If you are fan of the book and are planning on seeing the movie, keep in mind that little things are going to have to be changed. The movie version isn't entirely different but some parts are a different means to a similar end. Overall it is a good movie.
The action in this movie was awesome, the comic relief was great and it entertained me to no end. There were just a few small things that i was bothered by because I'm a film major and picky. Too many lens flares that just became distracting after awhile. Little things the story had to include in order to make sense with the original plot, I just saw as sort of cheesy. And would be five stars if they hadn't brought back the original Spock as Spock, maybe Spock's dad or something, but provided good comic relief at some parts. Overall pretty darn good movie. Go see it IMAX, well worth it!
