Beautiful

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2011)

What a wonderful film! I thought I'd seen all the best sci-fi and then came across this title to my surprise in the top 50.
A beautifully conceived, powerful and moving depiction of a dark Orwellian future that we can all too easily visualise. Maybe it's just because I'm having a hard time at the moment, or maybe it's just just because I've watched so much crap lately, but this movie is so well written and engaging that it really hit me - I even cried towards the end, something I'd never expect from a sci fi.
A rare British treat. It gets a bit too action packed for me at the end but it works well. You get to see some great future shots of London and even a happy ending in the very last few seconds of a credits that really plays on your emotions.
Must see
