Saw this film last night and haven't stopped thinking about it since. Loaded with the kind of visual symbolism that seems to be mostly missing from todays cinema, every shot feels intentional and expertly executed. From the outset, you get the feeling that you are in the hands of a master film-maker, letting you relax into this all encompassing experience. No need for 3D, CGI effects or complicated camera moves. This film uses good old fashioned suspense to draw you in, making for an altogether more immersive experience.
My girlfriend and I argued about this film for an hour afterwards which I consider a good thing! It doesn't hand over all the answers on a plate, it forces you to think and contemplate the information presented to you. I know that many people go to the cinema nowadays for pure escapism and will view a movie like this as too much effort. I promise you, it's not an effort, it's a joy to behold! I urge you all to please give it a try, resist the latest generic Hollywood offering of explosions and gimmick, and experience the true power of cinema.
I love Hollywood! I love blockbusters! But more films like this need to be made - vote with your feet!
