Great movie.

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2015)

This movie was recommended to me by a friend, and suffice to say I'm glad I watched it. Some may find such nonlinear films hard to follow or overly complicated, but I think this movie watched properly sends a powerful humanistic message. What we do does affect others. It is our duty as responsible humans to improve the world with our kindness, and not detract from it with our sins. Our actions may in fact be drops of water, but collectively they build oceans. From a technical standpoint, the acting was above average, the fight choreography excellent, and the score stellar. My least favorite parts of the story were the butchered speech of the post- apocalyptic humans, the unnecessary revenge taken by ole grampy, and the touching suicide of the bisexual Frobisher (whom I strongly related to), though I comprehend that the effect was powerful and why it was used. I haven't read the book, so I can't speak for how well the movie executed it, but the story the movie tells is superb. It is not one of the best films of all time: not up there with Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, and Shawshank. But it is a top-tier movie and a compelling story.
