I saw Duncan Jones' (Moon) new film last night and whilst not ground breaking, I really enjoyed it.

Although they did miss a trick with that ending.

 

[Admiral_Young]

It's my second most anticipated film of this year. Been waiting to see it since I read the script a year and a half ago. Am planning on seeing it Saturday evening if all goes well.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

In my top 3 films I want to see over the next few months. If I could see it this weekend, I would. But it ain't released here until May 6.

 

[TheSeeker]

Saw a screening of it last night. It was excellent.

 

[Harvey]

I'm looking forward to it, most definitely. I don't think I've ever been so keen on the work of a second-time director as I am here. Moon was that good.

 

[TheSeeker]

^It's a great follow-up.

 

[JacksonArcher]

I can't wait for this.

How similar is this to Deja Vu, concept-wise?

How similar is this to Deja Vu, concept-wise?

And more importantly, will they make the same mistake? Kicking up the surprisingly well-thought rules in order to give a happyish ending.

Yeah it does look pretty intriguing-- kind of like if Quantum Leap was turned into a super intense, action-packed thriller.

The commercials make it look retarded, but I want to see it just 'cause Moon was so good.

I had a pass to see it this past Tuesday night, but couldn't get up to Dallas. I'll probably go this weekend.

I was just going to ask if this reminded anyone of Deja Vu.

 

[the G-man]

Yeah it does look pretty intriguing-- kind of like if Quantum Leap was turned into a super intense, action-packed thriller.

From what I hear there's one hell of a cool nod to QL in the movie that I won't spoil here.

 

[StolenThunder]

Thought it was okay. If people wish for it to be as good as Moon they'll certainly be disappointed, but it was an enjoyable movie.

 

[Gryffindorian]

A solid B+ for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the story with a quite original and unique premise. Gyllenhaal shines as Colter Stevens, and he's one of a few young Hollywood actors with real talent.

 

[Skellington]

Excellent movie. Really liked the ending. Very heart-warming. Gyllenhaal and Monaghan embody characters for whom it's easy to root. Left the cinema with a smile on my face, which is a rare thing when it comes to modern sci-fi.

 

[Gryffindorian]

It also reminded me of The Adjustment Bureau, another romantic sci-fi.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

That was really excellent. A tightly paced sci-fi thriller with actual characters to care about. Between this and Moon, Duncan Jones has now been added to my list of directors whose name alone makes a must see film.

 

[Admiral_Young]

I saw it last night and absolutely loved it. Having tracked this project from when it was just a mere spec script gaining buzz to a fully realized film...I have to say that I was enormously satisfied with the performances in this film. Duncan Jones is a certified genius and this has to be my favorite Jake Gyllenhall film now. It is also by far my favorite film of the year (which isn't saying much since I've only seen a couple). Brilliant movie. Will most likely be seeing it again and buying the DVD when it comes out.

 

[The Evil Dead]

Everyone going to see it keep your eyes and ears open for a cameo from a Quantum Leap veteran.
