Excellent drama

Although there may have been some OVERacting, the personal aspects of this story made it quite wrenching.
That said (and I hope I'm not giving too much away), I still don't understand why "Day 1" of the epidemic was put at the end of the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie kicks X

Xcellent movie in terms of Sci-Fi action. Best ever? Arguable.
In terms of chronology, not quite flawless. The third Xmen showed Xavier and Magneto together when they met Jean Grey; in this movie, not even a whisper about her. (Maybe Magneto and Professor X reunite later on, briefly?)
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This would be great as a stand alone movie but, given that it leaves open the possibility of sequels, I am aching to see more.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

More than Worthy Sequel

What more can I say. The basic storyline is quite logical: Man tries to save his father who got trapped in a digital world he helped create.
The idea that a digital character could become completely flesh and blood though, as this movie concludes with, is rather mind-blowing. Nevertheless, this is bound to be a classic sci-fi movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fascinating premise, or theme for a horror movie: the devil can forcibly take the souls of the wicked and the only way to thwart him is to be humble enough to simply confess. Brilliant!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

How many more?

Ignoring the purists who thought only actors of Asian descent should be in this, this was a great sci-fi action movie ranking up there, I would say, with the Matrix.
I only hope this is the first in a "pentology" (whatever you would call a 5-movie series).
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Most outstanding prequel

This is by far the most oustanding prequel I've ever seen, although I am a little disappointed at the way it ended with a slightly altered timeline.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great concept

To start with, it was definitely not the sequel I suspected it would be. For an alternate take on the original, this was pretty imaginative.
One question: Klaatu was saving Earth from humans doing WHAT to it? Global warming? Just wasn't clear.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Bond, lacking

What I liked best about this Bond was the instant info updates between 007 and M. Although there are some things Bond can do without, I don't think gadgets from Q are one of them. Also, moving the "Bond walking/shooting gun site" from the beginning of the movie to the end was disappointing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
