I was really excited to see the Movie considering the producer and the cast. However, it was nothing spectacular. It turned out to be more of a docu-drama showing the effect of Death on three different characters.
I kept on waiting for sparks to fly or the story to take off but nothing........DVD movie, at best.
We all know that Leonardo Di Caprio is one of the best actors of his time and he re-affirmed it with this movie. What made this movie more enjoyable was the effort put in by supporting cast.
Direction, Dialog and Music was superb. If there was one factor that kept it from being an excellent movie, IMHO was the storyline. While the story was interesting there were some loopholes that didn't hold up in an otherwise good movie.
For example the motivation for Cobb to come back to US lacked the conviction that would drive his character to take such risks. Showing a CEO of a company to tag along on a mission in the field was somewhat of a stretch. There were few other lapses that I don't want to mention for the fear of giving away the story for those that haven't seen it yet.
Word of caution for those planning on watching it - don't take a bathroom break :)
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I think Shyamalan has officially lost it and Sixth Sense was a fluke!
It was poorly directed, acted and written. What a waste of a wonderful story. I enjoyed the cartoon along with my kids and was excited to go see it despite some reservations.
You have to have some imagination to enjoy this nicely made, Hollywood special effects feel good movie. It does keep you guessing within the context of the end of the World. Woody makes a nice appearance.
