witty, funny, and will leave you thinking.

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2006)

This movie was incredible. It offered an interesting interpretation of a 1984 sort of scenario. The dialogue and monologue reminded me of a play rather than a movie, which I personally really liked. I was surprised and incredibly impressed by the job Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith of the Matrix) did making a stiff mask show character and emotion, especially after the dead pan sort of dialogue he has in other movies. There were times I could almost swear the mask's expression changed to reflect his mood (though I'm sure it didn't). There are several action scenes, but they do not dominate the movie. There is also enough comedy to keep the movie from seeming oppressive, while not seeming tacked in for that purpose. I think this movie would appeal to people with many different interests and favorite types of movie. It has something for everyone, wit, humor, politics, revolt, everything. A great movie, I would highly recommend it.
