    it was an amazing trip into Philip K. Dick`s world. Linklater managed to amaze me once again as he did in Waking Life, without repeating himself. As for the acting, the characters seemed to be written for the actors that portrayed them. Overall, a great ride and I would recommend it to anyone with an open mind

    The best anti-drug movie I have seen yet ... at least at the movies! Contrary to the usual documentaries where you are confronted with emerced bodies and syringes, this movie depicts the dangers of the drug scene from within and without as well as its detrimental effects on the users.

    People need to get off the drusg. This is a type pf mive that doesn`t have a story, it usually leans on the characters to drive the film. Although, there was some Good perfromance (Robert Downey/Woody) I was disappionted with keanu`s low profile in the Film. He Just doesn`t have ot anymore and to me i always use to think ht was a Good Actor. Good Film, Mind Blowing,Impressive CGI, Clever Script.

    The rotoscoping was an obvious, if dated, way to portray the scramble suits. The movie was quite faithful to the story as I remember it. That may be a comment on my memory however. A superb adaptation of a Dick story!

    An interesting use of cgi but I wouldn`t want to see any more movies using this technique. This reminds me of Clockwork Orange.

    Incredibly boring...Keanu Reeves is way past his prime.

    With all those actors why the graphics? It`s set in the near future, there was no need of way out sets. Linklater seems hell bent on alienating his audience. Apart from handful of older phillip k dick fans it was skater kids, goth, and young grass crowd. Unless he`s trying to impress Japan Anime market (worth impressing) then it`s a bad business decision to color Keanu, and the rest of his stellar cast. I wanna see live flesh, in my movies, there was nothing in there a good f/x crew could have accomplished in live f/x. Linklater get over teh cartoons man, you got good actors, paint over them.
