I viewed this as a proof of concept - it works. Though the story is sketchy, the visuals are stunning. The movement of the main character is very gritty, breaking away from the usually too-smooth movements of mechanical beings.

There is something very fluid yet imperfect that makes the hero's moves believable despite the complete off-the-chart scale of the action depicted.

I hope that this project can be expanded into a full length feature. The story will make it or break it but the quality of the visuals speak for themselves. Clearly, a lot of effort and care has been channelled into the design of this world. Let's hope it pays off.

Extraordinary piece of work.

Having just seen this movie and slept on it too, I have to admit it is one of the smartest celluloid storytelling that I have seen in a long time.

It balances sarcastic humour with subtle social commentary, rapid-fire wit with narrative subtlety and most of all, is remains surprisingly neutral about the smoking issue (notice how there isn't a single person seen smoking on screen during the entire movie?).

And to top it all off, it's his first feature film!! Come to think of it, now I really hate Jason Reitman.

Go see this film, laugh your abdomen out, then see it again with a friend, repeat and rinse with absolute disregard for political correctness!
