Would be excellent for background visuals during a house part-e. It's like a 90 minute screen saver for the artistic types. Plug-in! While I am sure there are varying plots throughout, or not, I found myself enjoying having it on as a late night fadeout. I found some part grabbing my attention and other parts cracking a grin. I would suggest taping it for the house part-e visuals or your own late night fadeout. It's definitely easy on the brain.

AWFULL!!!

I know that I am not alone in being comletely disappointed with this movie. I intentionally avoided all marketing and propaganda about this movie prior to going last night. The buzz after the movie mirrored by my view and the group of six with whom I saw this movie. It was horrible.

As a preface ... I like to think and be intruiged about the possiblity of what the future has in store for us. I like well made sci-fi, special effects, and most of all, intelligent and talented, people at work.

The entire time (and it was long), I was giving Speilberg credit. I believed that he would pull off a surprise that would bring it all together. I believed that Speilberg wanted to keep us guessing and thinking. However, it was completely disjunctive and without climax.

Also, I'm not alone in fighting the urge to fall asleep. This is not to take anything away from any actors. They did the best with what they were given.

Many effects and ideas were easily appreciated. However, they far from outweighed the plot or dialogue.

I suggest that you do not support this movie by wasting your earned dollar. Hollywood should not be encouraged to reinforce its belief that "us Americans" will spend our money on anything and everything that it puts out. We go see movies because of the hype. Don't believe it this time.

With best intentions for the movie-goer, T

FANTASTIC!

Positives: Great action. Great dialogue. REAL and complex characters. A few good surprises. Vin Diesel was very believable.

Negatives: The last 30 seconds. Paul Walker was made to be too much of a pretty boy ... not as believable. He wasn't bad, but could have been made to be more down and dirty.
