Well, my reason to watch this one was simple- I am a movie buff+ I like sci- fi movies.
Movie starts with an action sequence, rather an amazing trick which leaves you excited, to WANT more there itself;), then the sequence changes to the normal living.showing a guy who has a very bad luck and is always having bad time everywhere .then his life changes to the point he could have never ever imagined.
What can I say abt the plot, since any sci- fi movie is based on unreal, iilogical, irrational, manmade theories.so this is none different.Taking names out of mere textile thread as Binary Codes and killing them.and saying its their fate who needs them to be killed.funda understandable nahi hai.but its picturised well.atleast till the time u see it, you feel it to be real and I guess thats what the motive is.SO in that ways, nice plotting.
Cinematography is par EXCELLENCE. Its just very nicely done, every move is made to watch, the super car chase, the extreme metro stunt and for the first time I saw any shot where car is made to jump and land in and on a metro.it was a fabulous stunt, although ofcourse looks graphical but is enough to woo the audience. The first time shoot of a bullet going in a curved path was unbelieveable.
James McAvoy looks more cute than aggressive for his role. But still manages to pull it through . He reminds me of Tobey Macguire . But he has done his part well.
Angelina Jolie. what to say about her.No other Hollywood actress could have more suited this role. She has looked perfect .
Overall a movie to watch definitely atleast once but all those out there who believe in logics, sensibility and non action flicks, this is definitely not the one for you.
