    I took a lot of vicodin so i can`t say that my opinion is completely valid. However, it did NOT keep me awake.

    Not bad - not the best but certainly not the worst movie we`ve seen lately.

    Got ripped off on the cinema ticket (about $11 US), then the scramble suits and inappropriate animation did my head in! Very irritating. Would definitely have enjoyed it more if it was just without any cartoon effects. Winona`s smokin` hot though.

    I have to wonder how much of the original story is missing. The screenplay did not do an effective job of bringing the story to this medium. I found the pacing slow, and there were a lot of disposable characters, as written. I was disappointed. I didn`t enjoy the cgi, but I think it contributed to the confusion and unreality intended. I wish I`d rented it, frankly.

    I thought it was a good movie, but was a little put off with the way it was filmed, I didn`t like the animation, the story line was unique and the acting good.

    Philip K. Dick, what a imagination this man has! It was a great movie, loved all the effects, and the overall anti-drugs message that cme ringing through lod and clear. Great movie, deserved more credit at the box office than it got.

    It is great to see any P. k. Dick material put to film. It is always a challenge.

    This one was okay, but the story often seemed as confused as its drug-addled characters. And it hammered home the `drugs are bad` message so hard, it`s as though the film`s creators think we`re stupid. The actors are pretty good though - Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder all do a fine job - and while a lot of people think the interpolated rotoscoping thing is creepy, I really enjoy watching flicks using this technology.
