I loved the movie for a lot of reasons but I feel it was far from perfect, from a film making perspective, sci fi perspective, and philosophical/spiritual perspective. Looking past those though, it was one of my favorite movies to be released recently. I really appreciate the scope and the originality of the whole thing.
I was a bit frustrated with my experience at the theater since it was a very crowded showing and some people are so uncomfortable with silence that they feel the need to fill it and disregard respect for the moments the movie was trying to create. What would have been scenes highlighted by the impact of the silence were ruined by people making noises, and being rewarded by laughs from the crowd. It really took me out of the experience. Such is life in an environment with free will, I suppose!
I won't get specific yet since it's a newly released movie and I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I definitely have some opinions once more people see it.
