Written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón who has been involved with other fine films such as "A Little Princess," "Y tu Mamá También," and "Pan's Labyrinth," and based on the novel of the same name comes this British dystopian/action/sci fi/thriller mix up.
I thought this movie was absolutely great and it actually found its way onto my list of all time favorites. While the film had a theatrical release and got positive reviews, it still flew under the radar of a lot of people despite its fantastic, some may say innovative, action shots. Though not technically filmed in one shot (several spliced together) the effect is absolutely flawless with three scenes of intense "single shot" action in particular.
I have heard of some people being put off by this movie, claiming it was was too slow. On the other hand I felt the movie moved at a perfect pace so I guess the term "slow" is relative.
Buy This DVD.
A biology lesson from Julian: "Y'know that ringing in your ears? That 'eeeeeeeeee'? That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts."
