Didn't live up to the trailer expectations, grisly in spots, a ho hum puzzler in others

Rating: 1/10 (20 March 2013)

From the hard to follow choppy "new speak" language twists to the nightmare plot - the occasionally stunning visual aspects of this film were overshadowed by the utter horror of the dismal lives of the poor souls caught up in this haphazard "back and forth through time" plot.
Sadly, the acting of the main characters was hardly better than the story. There was very little new material here, bits from a number of other sci-fi futuristic works have been more successfully portrayed and with greater credibility than this movie years ago.
Elements from notable books such as Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, 1984, This Perfect Day and others accompanied by the time warp/reincarnation angle chopped in for good measure sum it up for me.
Unfortunately the grisliest aspects of futuristic societies gone wrong may leave those with more sensitive tastes wishing they had passed on this one.
How they roped the major talent lineup into this will remain a mystery.
Save your money and watch it on DVD if you must, this didn't rate the cost of the big screen.
Ashamed themselves, they should be; all, each one, evermore
Sign me - sorry I watched it at all ..
