unique & intense script

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2014)

It is difficult to talk about this movie without having to go on a rant about human nature, but I shall endeavor to.
I came into this film thinking it would be a visually pleasing, silly little scifi dependent on cool special effects and Scarlet Johansson's acting skills, but very soon I found that I was wrong. The movie slowly swelled into heavy symbolism and incredible statements about getting past the animalistic nature of mankind, among other things.
I cannot describe how hard the script hit me, and walking out of the movie theater was so surreal I had to sit down and think for a few moments. I'm not sure how others looking for an easy viewing would like it - I see this film as something you need to have an active mind for.
Anyway, SJ's acting of course was beautiful, and the visual effects were breathtaking. I recommend this to anyone, or at least anyone open to something a little different than the usual movie.
