Beautiful. I loved it.

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2013)

This movie was not just a movie to me but an experience. I was expecting a light hearted comedy, but it soon became much more deeper and meaningful. I found myself lost in the movie, mingling with the characters and story, forgetting I was in the theater. The wonderful choice of music, the beautiful filmography and scenery, the appropriate colors, lights, and shades, and R and Julie's endearing and realistic behavior in each of their tumultuous situations, all combined to create a truly believable experience, given the futuristic, sci-fi scope of the story. And the romance that develops between them is gradual and truly touching, and though they don't really touch each other physically enough in the course of the movie, at least not for me, I still found their romance to be very satisfying, very believable.
And as a woman, I found R's tremendous devotion and protection for Julie to be absolutely HOT (besides the fact he looks so damn hot too).
And though this movie has some similarities to Twilight, there are differences too, mainly because R completely lacks the arrogant, obnoxious, prima donna behavior of Edward. R isn't especially gifted with superpowers, in fact he struggles a lot, yet he tries with everything in his being to do whatever he can for Julie - he's much more sincere and likable...and lovable. I would much rather have someone like R rescue me from dangerous situations than Edward :-)
I highly recommend this movie. I left the theater teary-eyed, mainly due to the story's ending, a message of hope for humanity when all appears lost. And I never once took my eyes off the screen.
