Many things can be said about this movie. Yeah, you can underestimate it by it's ratings, but take a look who directed it, The Watchowski Brothers!!

There are many failovers around actually. The environment was too fast paced. Part of plot reminds too much of fairy tails, which I'm not sure if this was necessary. There was too much action. But that's basically all minuses I can list.

Now if you think for a moment, this movie is a assumption of how reality may be. And those assumptions made not randomly. If you're into cosmology, there's plenty of facts that's actually made me to love this movie even more. For example, let me list some: 1) The Tether Shuttle Mission STS-75 footage which been filmed with infrared cameras 2) Boomerang Nebula 3) Fermi Paradox (TYPE3 civilization) 4) The multiple proofs from thousands of years ago about aliens, like hieroglyphs of Egyptians and Inx which reminds aliens ships too much.. this is scientifically fact actually (this is for the movies argument about dinosaurs extinction). Combining all of these, movie plot seems to be a really astonishing assumption of how things can be in our universe :) And having conspiracy theory involved this looks and feels even better!

So for cosmology fan this would be actually quite interesting. And I've forgot to mention astonishing costumes, and all environment which has some accents from steampunk to elves.. Personally I'd give this movie 8/10, I'd watch this again, because of some philosophy and science involved. Not a matrix but at least there's 1/6th of it in here.

It appears that I am going to disagree with a fair number of people when I say that I quite liked this movie. Sure, if you expect some deep story with a lot of moral cleverness in it you are going to be disappointed. This is an interesting story but one that hangs together by a fairly fine thread.

To me it is a decent enough story that is propelled by a decent enough action and absolutely wonderful scenery. Yes, I agree with everyone saying that it is a bit of a B-story. It has many issues and barely hangs together at times.

However, if you try to ignore that for a while and just try to view it as a piece of, fairly fast paced, visual entertainment, well then it hits the spot quite well. It is frequently beautiful to watch. The action sequences are not bad and the story is, if nothing else, certainly not the usual thirteen to a dozen B-movie repeats. The acting is, well, also generally of B-movie quality but it is not downright bad and, once I got in the right mindset for the movie, it did not disturb me.

On the whole I quite liked this movie but I guess you have to be a bit of sci-fi fan, with an emphasize on visuals, to do so.

Oh, by the way, people saying this was the worst movie ever are obviously talking BS or have not seen very many movies. This movie may not be to their liking but come one...worst movie ever?

A sci-fi fairy tale, where sophisticated acting does not count, but fast-paced action and well-made "effects". So what more could you want? It's ok for me. :) ps. Pop-culture elements related to UFOs have been nicely brought in to this reality.

I love how a pretty young woman, who hates cleaning toilets for a living (and says she hates her life), is given the world, and wants nothing more than to be with those she loves; even if it means cleaning toilets. And, when all's said and done, cleaning toilets doesn't even bother her anymore. It may not be original, but it is certainly raised to an extreme! Top marks for world building! Loved the scene with the bees! Loved the characters. And, loved the love story...wish I could've given it 8.2, or 8.5.

Didn't know the Wachowski's did this...last I saw of theirs' was, "Sense 8." That was just great also!

This movie is highly underrated. Visually it was total eye-candy. The plot actually made me think that it could happen in real life! The acting could have been better, but overall this movie was a fun ride!

The movie is watchable, the acting bearable but the story is a fairy tail bed time story, it's like Cinderela mix with Snow White.
The only actor who is starting to astonish me is Eddie Redmayne who can act like few can.
The story was the main problem, it would be wonderful if they took out the romance bs and put more construction on the characters, this movie would be more good if it were a TV Series or a book, with a compelling story of a far society who farms people to live forever, it would be great, but the movie lacks construction, and with less cliches it would've been a great story.
The special effects and the ideas of future tech (or pass tech in the movie) was awsome, it not excellent as movies like Avatar, but has some great views and beautiful settings.

I really didn't think it was as bad as a lot of people are saying. If you want something interestingly weird to watch, then go ahead and watch this. I connected to the characters, and even though there was some clishés, it was fun!
I've never been overly critical about movies unless they really don't get to me emotionally, I tend to find good things about most things that I watch. Never saw the appeal of watching movies and criticising every single part of the film. Where is the enjoyment in that? I like when I don't have to think too much in the film (unless it's a psychological thriller, then thinking is just.. a part of the experience), I don't want to be like "oh that's so unrealistic" well fudge, you're watching a movie about aliens, it's supposed to be unrealistic.
If you're a person who just likes to critique everything, then don't watch this, because you will just waste your time and be negative the whole time like darn. Go watch your beloved Godfather or whatever it is that most movie critiquers love.

What a cracking visual effects movie; the story, well, not so coherent there, but, does that really matter? Nope! My personal favourite was the Alligator like guard species; brilliant!
