Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

Sounds quite a bit exactly like dark city, with out the film noir, or the epicness.

"Should the batman kill Joker because it would save more lives?" is a fundamentally different question from "should the batman have a bunch of machineguns that go BATBATBATBATBAT because its totally cool?". ~Goumindong

Very artsy. And Emily Blunt, though pretty, has no chin.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I saw the trailer and worried that this is some strange attempt to pick up some leftover momentum from Inception.
I'm not going to be surprised if I am way off base here though.

Reviews are saying this is more of a quirky romantic comedy than anything serious. |

It wasn't funny, but definitely more romantic than I expected from the trailer. I went in looking for Bourne + Inception, walked out disappointed.

Of all the things it could suggest, the trailer does not suggest romcom in any way.

Caught a showing this weekend, it was OK -- I think I almost dozed off during 1st 30-40 minutes, as it moved slowly, but it got interesting enough from that point on. Though, predictable. Definitely no *Inception*. But better than *I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry*. Disappointed because while I expected the romantic story, I anticipated more cosmological and philosophical whimsey-ness within the narrative backdrop. Maybe it was there and I just was unable to see. |

Really? Fight your fate to be with the one you love? Screamed out to me that anyone expecting sci-fi thrills was going to be disappointed. |

Romcom was my bad; I should have said romance.

I liked the overall message but Groundhog Day was a lot more entertaining.
