Surreal vision of the future...almost disturbing

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2007)

I can't think of anything wrong with that movie, especially 24 hours after I saw it. I had time to think about it, understand it and realizing it.
The director is doing a wonderful job with the actors and numerous supernumerary playing their part in the movie. Clive Owen is the perfect guy for this role. Couldn't find a better actor with his roughed look to play Faron. Too bad Julianne Moore dies too soon but her presence was enough to help us understand the whole concept of the story. And all the other ones? They were playing natural, almost too natural as if they were really living this story themselves. Dirty, sad and mad people hanging around hopeless.
Special effects? Yes but it was mostly to create an "ambiance" of darkness, hopelessness, dirtiness by keeping the image dark and dirty. Not much on the fact that it was held in 2027.
Some great moments especially when the most important human in the movie is seeing by the people.
It's a "must-see" if you want your brain filled with dark and at the same time hopeful and optimistic emotions that will keep you busy pondering for a while....
