Some have compared it to "Inception" which is a film that you either love or hate.

Myself personally, I never had the opportunity to see it, but was thinking about it.

Thoughts?

I thought it was excellent. Amy Adams does a great job and it is well written and interesting. I rated it 9/10 and would recommend it.

Amy Adams is indeed a great actress. Loved her in the Superman films as Lois Lane. Thanks for your input!

To be honest, I didn't think it was anything special. I would say it was just 'so so'.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I'm not generally a fan of sci-fi and wasn't expecting much from this film at all but I gave it an 8 out of 10.. I thought it was quite an unusual take on this genre.

Its slow paced and the general movie going audience will find it boring but I loved it, gave it 10/10. I hadn't watched the trailer which Looking back on it now does give some misleading impressions on the content of the film. If your a fan of mystery-sci fi with emphasis on character and subtlety, then I'm sure you will enjoy this
