One of the best directed films of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2006)

I'm an American traveling through Europe, and I saw this film in the U.K. I'd been looking forward to it ever since the trailer blew me away, and, I'm happy to say, it was even better than I expected. Cuaron directed the hell out of this film! The script is pretty decent (interesting but reasonably standard sci-fi), but Cuaron elevates it so much higher. It brings you to such emotional highs and lows, all while looking completely believable. I don't want to give anything away, but this movie affected me deeply; I felt honestly shaken after leaving the theater. Technically, the film will floor you. It contains some of the most impressive set pieces in movie history, some of them shown as a continuous shot, with no cuts. You'll never forget the experience.
