Loosely based on some key elements from a short story by Phillip K. Dick, this movie is both a great date movie and a thought provoking one. Not a film for those who want their story lines all neatly tied up. Emily Blunt shows off her very expressive face, Matt Damon does his usual competent Matt Damon bemused bit, and the writers have provided a story line moves along smartly through the film. Highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My lady friend talked me into going to see the movie. I was impressed. This movie accomplished what 9 did not - being fun ! Have not paid attention to Christina Aguilera - but must say that girl has a showstopper voice. Wish they made more like this.
The last time I remember being this wowed was in summer of '77 - seeing the original Star Wars in 70mm. Go see this in IMAX 3D or, or if you just can't stand the lines for IMAX, then see it in Real-3D - either way, it will blow you away. It starts a little slow for about the first 5 minutes, but then it's 2:35 of a rush - and you absolutely do not feel the length. Total suspense of disbelief. Just absolutely spectacular detail. Something for everyone. Will have to go at least once or twice more to take it all in.
The most cerebral movie I've seen in quite a while - warning it will bore you if all you want is "action". Twists and turns in the plot will keep you on the edge of your seat. Some truly humorous moments had the whole theater laughing. Well organized and developed story. Don't expect much from Julia - her acting is mechanical with no depth, but does not detract from the storyline.
