I dare some of the naysayers to try it again

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2009)

First, I've barely played any video games, so please don't dismiss this comment as those of an impressionable youngster. I'm middle-aged. I loved Blade Runner, Alien, Terminator etc. in their (my) time.
Which is one reason I loved this film. It is one of the most original, non-derivative science fiction movies I've seen produced in at least half a generation. The central character is compelling and the actor holds your attention through comedic and tragic moments.
What is this movie? A sci-fi, love-story, epic, buddy-movie social commentary.
Honestly, I read hundreds of the negative postings trying to understand that point of view but I just can't. I sympathize with those who get nauseous watching hand-held (not a problem for me). Otherwise, the vast majority commenting seem to have missed basic plot points, missed all the dry humor, and missed a great film--one that will be setting the pace and style for another half-generation or so ahead (unfortunately for these detractors!).
