I think i saw a different film to the film criters ,yes criters as they seem to be on quest to label this imaginary film an anti-US film , it's imaginary it's a film ,if you don't like the film leave the cinema the idea is to go and enjoy yourselves , if all you want to do is complain complain then don't go ,but of course it's your entire livelyhood isn't it , what happened to just enjoying a film and marvelling at the wonder of it all , we spoke for hours on how they managed to turn actors into half robot ,it still has me guessing the films format 2.76:1 is the widest format to date and the cinematographer fills it all i'm sure ILM has surpassed itself because it is not obvious where the canvas meets real life.
As for the plot the attack in the begining is explained towards the end , plus did you not think it was odd the NOMAD had all those AI on board all neatly packaged up , the whole thing was a red flag , but the US was secretly still keeping AI .
i've seen films with less plot raved about , the film was original and a great piece of work by all cast and crew , nice to go and see a film that you have no idea where it's going for a change .
