fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2006)

Going in with little to no expectations (aside from knowing Natalie P would be fantastic) I was surprised that this movie packed such a punch. The symbolism within that some call hokey is reminiscent of F Scott Fitzgeralds work and is well done. Since seeing it I have gone night after night wishing I owned it because it is a movie I feel is worthy of repeated viewing. I don't even know what words to use to describe what makes this movie so great, all I know is that the graphic novel is worth a definite look after this magnificent movie. And admittedly, several times throughout I got a bit choked up as the thought of what our future could look like, how bleak and oppressive, touched me personally.
