Ya what? You didn't get into this one? Oh man…. *shakes head*

Ahh well, each to their own. I think it's subversiveness and ethical exploration of human degradation was handled really well, very meta.

In reply to Grog the Ginger. I've never read the book because I've heard similar reports, and don't want it to ruin the film for me. I'm just happy to have a film version that's so awesome!

Everything you wrote it true. I agree 100%. But, for whatever reason, I don't really like the film that much. I just can't get into it. There's something about it that just doesn't hook me. I feel like the movie is too smug, or perhaps pretending to be more insightful than it really is. Like bringing up all these issues of societal degradation, and then moving on to the next deplorable thing without further examination or offering up of solutions. Maybe. I don't know. Something about it feels off to me. I can't explain it. I agree that it is a masterwork on a technical level, but it's just not for me.

Great review! I do recommend reading the novel but be aware it's definitely not as good as the film. There are just a few changes but they all improvements for the film.
