...probably because of the distinct lack of starships?  :laughing7:

I watched this... I liked it.  A LOT.

It tried to mind-f@#k me, but I wouldn't let it.  :laughing7:
It needs a 2nd, or even 3rd viewing though.  There is some depth here.
You'll have to really pay attention to spot the 'linkages', but to tell anymore will present critical spoilers.

Great cast, great acting, convoluted plot (and kinda confusing initially), GREAT visuals.
Be warned...this one clocks in at nearly THREE hours, but I guarantee, it's worth every second.

HIGHLY watchable, but make sure you have subtitles on.  You'll need em.

Then read on, my dear boy  :laughing7:  ...but there's no substitute for superb visual effects.

The rest of us who haven't got that kinda time should watch this one.
Certain sequences (and the accompanying soundtrack) will bring a few of the producers' other works to mind.  :)

I actually started watching this last night, but 20 minutes in I had to stop as the copy I got had poor audio quality. The last thing I wanted was to watch a film like this and not understand a work the actors were saying. I'll re-watch once a better HD copy becomes available.

lol, I always have the subtitles on. XBMC spoiled me rotten with that.

Feel naked watching a movie without subtitles now.
