Cerebral and very thought provoking.

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2014)

While my friends I saw it with didn't seem to grasp some of the messages there are many layers of subtext within the film. If you are looking for an action thrill ride it is there for you. However if you are looking for the film to stand alone on that premise you will probably be disappointed. If you open yourself up to the main message that suggests we are too wrapped up in our petty first world problems and need to pay more attention to the larger issues we face in our society; this film should be a good workout for the philosophers to mull over. This movie comes across as a workout for the mind for me. One aspect sorely missing in most film these days. Thank you Luc Besson for this trip through the looking glass.
