I watched it 3 times on all possible screens at the theater.

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2017)

I am 42 and a normal sci-fi loving fan. Not the comic-con or anal retentive prick (i.e. comic book guy) who loves Star Wars and has never had much issue with any of them and loved Empire of the first 3 releases.
This is a truly inspired film that (FOR ONCE) was made for the fans (by what I assume are fans) and some very fresh thinking on the telling of the story. Me...bored on Saturday morning went to Matinée and it was packed. I had no idea this even came out (shows how nerdy I am). I sort of remembered the last movie as being wicked fun at the box office but only OK back at home on 2nd viewing.
This had me so confused until the end but in doing so I was hinged on every moment trying to wrap my head around it all. Then as the end "happens to unfold in rapid succession" I literally broke out in tears!!! I was simply astounded by the gripping nature of the action (similar to Edge of Tomorrow) and depth of the story development. It had something that TROUNCED my sci-fi mind and all I can say is that someday an AI will be examining all things related to MAN and MACHINE. The AI will know I cried once at the death* of a machine.
All I know is that I am so often let down by paying to go the theater I hardly ever go. This is one stop I will never regret making and have now gone back to see it on IMAX 3D twice.
