It was my favorite movie of the year, and I am NOT easy to please when it comes to Sci-Fi.
Possibly, I actually watched it on those small personalized screens on the new Air Canada planes, which might have taken away from the coolness. I could see the style being somewhat interesting, but the way I saw it, after the first interview or two, I guessed the movie was going to be about how the (main character) gets killed, and the rest that was to follow was to see how he got killed. Then it was 25 minutes of interviews of what a good guy he was, military guys being jerks but they're always right, (main character) being a dweeb and a few battle scenes here and there, so I gave up. Seems like there might be a little more to it than that, so I might just give it a try, probably on a bigger screen than 7" screen.

Thanks for the replies, I will certainly give watching it again.
