It's been out for a while but I saw it yesterday so it's fresh in my mind. Loved it. I'm biased anyway as a huge Amanda Seyfried fan (and she really rocked the bob) but I thought it was a lot of fun throughout.  |

Edited to say: I totally meant to put this comment in the Harold and Kumar thread.

My 12yr old is dying to see this film but has been sick or busy so we couldn't go. Is it incredibly stupid? Should we just rent it?

I've seen it, and I think waiting for a rental is the way to go. It is monumentally dumb.

... Got to admit that wasn't the reaction I was expecting at all.  |

It looks like perfect eye candy.

I saw it. I liked the idea of the story but found the movie incredibly slow and to be honest, boring. Amanda was cute but Timberlake was miscast. His squealy voice kept taking me out of the story. I was much more interested in Cillian Murphy's character. I would have loved to see the movie revolve around him instead. Alex Pettyfer was a pretty good bad guy though. I'd also say wait for the rental.

I liked it and thought Justin did an okay job. I was seriously annoyed by the some of the theater's speakers being broken so the sound mix was weird. I also thought the "look" of the future was very well done and it's a great concept. But - but - I did have a serious problem with how preachy the movie is. I know it's a random coincidence of timing, but it seriously is like "Occupy the Future: The Movie" with time substituted for money. And that thesis/idea/theme is hammered repeatedly by the dialogue. I thought it would have been better if the director focused a bit less on that and more on letting the narrative take its course.
It's not awful but it's not quite great either. I don't think one would be missing out on much by waiting for a cheap matinee or a rental.
