Gets better as it goes on.

Rating: 7/10 (8 October 2015)

When i saw the first poster for this movie i decided to see it only because i really liked the design. But of course, i looked up who was involved in the creation of this film because i'm not made of money and decide very carefully which movie i pay to see at the theater.
After finding out that the director is Denis Villeneuve i had a real, legitimate reason to pay for this movie because he has made a few great movies recently. Once again, he teamed up with cinematographer Roger Deakins who really knows how to do his job. The visual choices they made here are absolutely amazing and it gets better as the film goes on.
I also have to give credit to Jóhann Jóhannsson who composed a great soundtrack which underlines the already great built up to the various action scenes which are also done very good.
The characters and the dialogue are written very well and the performances of the actors are great. There are only few little details that really bother me. In one scene a character smokes a cigarette and you can clearly see that it isn't burning and in another scene one character tries to strangle another character but he is clearly not putting any pressure on the throat with his thumb. I don't know if this would bother an average movie goer but for me it was really annoying.
And this might not be any criticism about the film but during my view nobody in the room was competent enough to turn his or her phone off or at least turn it on silent mode because i heard ring tones at least five times during the film and there was also some worthless piece of trash two rows in front of me who checked Facebook almost the entire time. I don't know how such incompetence can even exist but is it really asked to much to put your shitty phone away for two hours? This is really impolite and anyone who does that shouldn't be allowed to leave the theater alive.
But the movie was great. Definitely go and watch it.
