This movie, which could have easily costed well over $200 million in US, made with some well-paid-PR-backed 'superstar', proves that US bloats everything for its worth. p.s. I don't understand why Americans are comparing this to Matrix or Inception? Don't Russians go into Coma or simply dream? Why can't they come up interesting, mind-bending concepts? Does US have a patent on creativity? Or it is just political bias that's bringing up the comparisons of exclusionary grandeur? P.s. Isaac Asimov was born in Russia.
It's a visually stunning movie, with a good story. Just needed a bit tighter direction.
