Agree with some of that.
I went in almost making my mind up I would enjoy it (especially going on all the five star reviews0 and the first half hour I really got...then (and I think I was pretty tired and had a beer before I went in) I got a tad...sleepy (just for a few mins) then I picked up again.
Flawed in many aspects like some of the plot...and I think that [SPOILER ALERT] 'special guest appearance' (despite the incredible detail) was perhaps unnecessary...and Robin Wright didn't seem her usual 'House of Cards' self, but then I locked in fully and it does look truly stunning. Bit conscious the original soundtrack composer may have done a better job, but I think Zimmer and Co nailed it (it's barely a soundtrack more a harsh soundscape with a familiar motif). Be interested to hear the original score though.
Still, I think the mark of something very good ('masterpiecey') is the way it indelibly marks you and even now the film sits right under my skin (I want to watch it again...that Odeon at the Great Northern Warehouse are selling tickets for £5 so I might do that).
Wary it's being set up for another (that underground resistance movement thing) but I think it's crashed at the box office (unsurprisingly) and I think any further films would be far more accessible but ultimately watered down and damaging to the this and the original.
Rosling is ace (not sure how...he's just watchable!) and as for his 'hologram'...
