While very unreal, also a lot of fun.

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2008)

I believe in short authoritative comments (i.e. should I see this?) My expectation from trailers was: this is going to be so over the top that is will be not only bad but down right awful (not so bad it's good type awful). I expected it to be up there with "The Fast and The Furious" in that it would just be dumb and of no value.
After seeing this I was pleasantly surprised. Much of the story downplays the terrible premises of "what-if-physics-wasn't-true" and focuses more on a Fight Club style "change of your basic life-style", at least in the first 2/3.
Overall it has a solid plot and surprisingly doesn't over do it (to a flaw) although you must, of course, suspend disbelief to have a good time watching it.
The (biggest) flaw is as usual the ending. It's as if the writers gave up by the time they got to hour 1.1. Don't want to give anything away so I will just say don't spend $8 plus popcorn and drinks but it's worth $5 total. If you are one to wait til it's on HBO it's definitely worth your 2 hours.
