Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2014)

This was a surprise-I was expecting something much more run of the mill but it turned out to be an excellent movie-both from a cinematic point of view and from a SF point of view also. Interesting story supported by great images made this one work brilliantly. Don't see many movies as good as this these days. Luc Besson did a bang up job directing it on a par with the best films out there from any time period. Three cheers for this one. I liked the way it was maybe a homage of sorts to A Space Odyssey in terms of some of the images-anyone familiar with that film will understand the reference. Liked the way it cross cut images that were part rock video and part documentary in keeping with the eclectic nature of the times we live in. With one foot in the world of trendy and one foot in the world of science it kept viewers interested in what would happen next. Nice build up to the big finish-best seen on a big screen if possible.
