I was Finally blown away

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2014)

This movie is the thing that I reserve the word 'amazing' for.
I loved the way that we were guided through the creative use of so many super-powers. The variety of powers exhibited was so much more than we are used to even from long running TV shows like Heroes and every single exhibition was executed imaginatively and brilliantly. They were able to do this by providing deep and meaningful explanation of why they were limiting the powers on screen. Instead of exploring one or two really powerful powers in the way that They thought were cool, they added and subtracted them without limiting things too much allowing for imagination of really complex interactions. The kind of explanation that gave you a basis for imagining this world. You are so immersed that you could stop focusing on just the vivid graphic image and are setup to try to predict what will happen next. When you believe you have a strategy for playing in this world is when they flip it on you and you are exposed to an even deeper plot or meaning and you're left with more mystery to apply what you know to, from earlier on in the movie and your experiences outside it.
This movie mixes the dreams we have of super powers with the experience of playing strategy and combat games. One thing that particularly comes to mind is Blink's power, I've played hours of Valve's games Portal and Portal 2, playing challenges and designing my own, so I felt with her. I could see myself trying to play through these challenges, thinking on the fly, and I could feel the loss after every death.
Among all the creativity shown through pretty pictures, cool mutations, and ability to stimulate the happiest parts of my imagination, This movie still found time to impact me more. The cut-scene after the credits changes the story entirely, it changes how we view history. The Egyptian pyramids, instead of being a symbol of how religion was able to bring a nation to enslave so many people to build their oppressive relic, to being a gift from a God showing the people what he is capable of so that he can help them. This bit of fantasy paints history in a much better light than I have ever been able to imagine. This pseudo-realistic version gives us hope for another explanation of the past, perhaps a more happy one. We are not locked in the ideas that we believe today.
I can't add much more than, "I liked it a lot."
