I enjoyed this smart, stylish sci-fi mind-bender from Christopher Nolan (of recently-rejuvenated Batman franchise fame) starring Leo di Caprio. It takes about 10-20 minutes to get going, but after that moves along at a decent clip giving you just enough time to keep up as the rather convoluted plot unfolds. Thematically, it's strongly redolent of The Matrix films (there's even an "Architect" --- remember the bearded Papa Smurf fellow from Matrix Revolutions?), but the atmosphere evokes more the melancolic, mild dystopia of Minority Report or AI.
One of the better films I've watched in a while (and much better than the disappointing Surrogates -- another sci-fi flick that I watched not long ago). Recommended.
