If you get a chance, go see this movie.

I saw it Sunday in Boston and I can say that it lived up to my expectations (which were quite high). The film was visually stunning with the rotoscoping/shot selection. Acting was top notch (weakest performance was by Winona, Keanu actually did well). The story was fairly true to the source material. Basically, everything about the movie was great.

Again, GO SEE THIS FILM if you can and support the production of good movies.

I was planning on going to see the movie this week when the composer was going to be performing some of the music from the film. I might have to go see it sooner. I have been hearing a lot of good things about it.

i really enjoyed this. i thought the aesthetics were beautiful and it was well acted, though i'm not sure how much of a stretch it was for them to play cracked out addicts. i loved robert downy jr as barris. having not read the book before seeing it, i have absolutely no complaints. really well done film. A++++++++ WOULD SEE AGAIN! POPCORN WAS GREAT!

Definitely gonna see this. The first 24 minutes are online at IGN or something, and it's great. Love Harrelson and Downey.
