Simply excellent

This is how movies are supposed to be. A deep, intricate plot that slowly develops in a piercing crescendo as all the pieces that you have already been presented come together as artistically as a magic show and as logically as a mystery novel. The acting is superbly done (especially Brad Pitt's), loose and life-like.
Potential viewers be warned of features that might affect your judgement of the movie: a confusing beginning, Bruce Willis' hard-to-comprehend character, and some slightly campy scenes in the future. Oh, and "advirtisement" is mispronounced at one point and it threw off the rest of the scene for me (that isn't a spoiler, right?). I mention these very, very, very minor points to warn someone who might see these the wrong way and look at the movie the wrong way. This is practically literature and should be viewed as such. This is not your traditional sci-fi and is a movie that you can't get out of your head days after watching it. I suggest everyone should see this movie at least once, and if you don't like it, twice.
