If you thought The Matrix was a mind-eff

Imagine a movie that makes you feel like you are IN the 'MATRIX'. Nolan is a genuine filmmaker. The intricate plot line had no holes in it, but the movie left a few questions unanswered and urges the viewer to draw his own conclusions. In my opinion this is the only type of film that matters. DeCaprio has come a long way as an actor and carries his character very naturally. Paige's understated performance was the perfect counterbalance. The supporting cast was also excellent and you actually cared about what happens to them throughout. The special effects serve the script, and although mind bending at times, are not out of place. However you must remain focused. All of the dialogue is important to the story and even then, you may have to bring a buddy along that can help you think through some ideas after the viewing. All told the director has found a way to seamlessly create a movie that is cerebral AND action packed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Surprised by the cartoony action? Don't be.

Lucas'used universe carries over well in this feature.The ships,armor and droids all look like they haven't seen the bristly side of a scrubber in over 12 parsecs.Great character developement.Ashoka is an apt yet resistant pupil, so you can see shades of Anakin in her.This is a kid's movie,albeit a bit dark.In one scene a trooper is forced into hand-to-hand combat with a super battle droid.The fight ends in the clone being snuffed out by a point-blank blaster bolt to the chest while being restrained.As if a reminder of the WAR in Star Wars.4 stars because it could use less 'cuteness' and still appeal to kids.If you accept this movie for what it is, Star Wars fun for the grade school set, you'll like it.I enjoyed it and so did my 5 year old!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
