"Going strictly on my gut reaction here... I chose Orwellian because it gave me the feeling of an experience that would challenge my imagination, make me think, and leave me with an uneasy feeling. Shakespeare's work can cut across a larger cloth, so one would never know what they were getting (some appeal to me, others not.) Plus, I am not a big fan of men in tights, so, alas, I passed on The Bard. " [More]

Weak in Almost Every Way

"This rip-off of the popular NBC series misses the mark in virtually every aspect of the film. The special effects soon become tiresome and almost laughable. The acting is weak, leaving the viewer apathetic about the protagonsts' fate. The normally likeable Dakota Fanning is miscast as a supposedly sharp-tongued and cynical clairvoyant. Even an injection of color and music (no dout in an attempt to achieve a "music video" feel) is a waste of time. The plot is transparent, the acting borders on comic. Unless you like every sci-fi move that you see, save your money and avoid this one. For more info, check my other review at: http://blog.syracuse.com/movie reviews/ " [More]

"Chaplin was an absolute genius, a term which is thrown about too loosely, but in this case applies. If anyone even came close to making a film the way he did, I would be first in line to see it. " [More]
