Not an ordinary sci-fi

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2012)

Not an ordinary movie, at all. It was far more complicated and sophisticated, than most of the 2010's films or blockbusters. Rian Johnson is definitely a great director, he really reminds me of Duncan Jones. These two director just loves to play with movie stereotypes or the entire sci-fi genre.
The best aspect of the movie, in my opinion, is that you never know what is going to happen. It starts somehow heading to a destination and then *SCRATCH* suddenly the whole story changes, we are heading to another destination. Also, the rhythm of the film is tailored to this experience, so it's fast-slow-fast-slow-extra fast. It is really gripping! Maybe the only problem is that the middle and slow part of the film is a little bit too slow, but it's a necessary atmosphere-building. As for the last and very fast part, it is MINDBLOWING. The ending was just creeping me out, giving me the chills. Looking at Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, considering his past actions, i would never guess he will make such a huge sacrifice(I can't come on the agenda)...
