Thought it was great

Excellent, would see it again, may even buy it.
It works on many levels, it's a visual treat, the babes are awesome, the POV motorcycle chases are killer, the disconnected angst of your twenties and the dynamic between father and son and what Legacy is... it's a mix that bears a second viewing.
I liked it a lot, paid big bucks for reserved IMAX seats and for once, it was worth it.

Good but over-rated

I enjoyed the movie, and I don't regret going to see it, but its reputation as the movie of the century, deserving multiple viewings is over-rated. The story is too long, gets repetitive and although it weaves together elements of other successful movies, it doesn't do it in a memorable way. There are elements I recall as being striking, impressive and memorable when they appeared in movies such as the Matrix, What Dreams May Come, Event Horizon, Brainstorm and several others, but the mix here is sort of clumsy and second-rate. If you never saw those movies, this one will sizzle your mind; if you have seen them, you will probably feel as I do: Nice Effort, but not a classic. Also, it gets to be a bit much when a college girl takes the lead, showing hardened pioneer veterans the pathway through their own area of expertise. I might not feel that way if I were 20 years old, she would seem like "us", but to me, it just blows the suspension of disbelief you need to enjoy a premise this out-there in the first place.
Bottom line-- worth seeing, but it isn't going to change your life unless you are new to this genre.
