Great, but graphic and bloody, underdog story
on December 29, 2015
Posted by: GregE
Verified Purchase:Yes
For those who aren't squeamish about graphic violence and bloodshed, this is a terrific action-packed portrayal about how passion, determination, and single-mindedness of a group of people trump 'might', regardless of the outcome of the final conflict. Personally, this film had several features that resonated with me, and characteristics I look for in films like this: strong contrast between hero and villain, enough historical accuracy to get a sense of the actual events (the Battle of Thermopylae as narrated in Herodotus' "The Histories"), and some insight into the characteristics that embody a hero we'd like to emulate (well, without the bloodshed). I always try to find films with strong, passionate heroes who have to overcome impossible odds - and this one didn't disappoint in that respect.

Great potential, intriguing - but a little flat
on November 8, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought the story behind this movie could have been a fantastic one if it was executed a bit better. I loved the sci-fi premise of an independent and passionate hero tinkering with predestination by trying to exert free will. And, for the most part, the movie was good. It was a little flat, though, compared to what might have been.

Couldn't get into this - great effects/poor story
on November 8, 2015
Posted by: GregE
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was really hoping this would be better than what it was (at least the first 45 minutes or so that I watched). I was disappointed, to say the least. I really didn't care for the predicable, continual banter and the Mission Impossible-type set up. The sound and visual effects that I saw looked great, but I would have liked a little more of story.

Enjoyable with great sound/visual special effects
on November 8, 2015
Posted by: GregE
Verified Purchase:Yes
I read some poor reviews of this movie, but decided to purchase it anyway. I was glad I did! I enjoyed the experience of seeing/hearing the movie on Blu-ray. Yes, the story was a bit contrived in parts, but overall I think it's still great entertainment!

Traditional story in a futuristic setting
on November 5, 2015
Posted by: GregE
Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoyed the concept the movie was based on: Time is money - literally! Good action in parts of the movie, but it's really the same old Robin Hood type story we've heard and seen many times before where a hero comes to take from the have's to give to the have-nots.

Smart and entertaining with great visual effects

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really liked this movie the first time I saw it and enjoyed it even more after purchasing this Blu-ray and watching it again. I thought the plot was intricate, but not overdone to the point of being confusing, and I thought the special effects were terrific! Good Sci-Fi experience all around.

Great sound, comfortable, but low mic volume
on August 14, 2015
Posted by: GregE
Verified Purchase:Yes
I would have given this headset a 5 star rating, but the microphone volume is low and I haven't been able to figure out a way to increase it. It seems like everyone can hear me just fine, but I notice that the volume of my voice is lower than most others' voices when I listen to playbacks. Otherwise, it's great: comfortable, very good sound, works great without any problems on my computer running Windows 7.

Great action, good story
on November 8, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought this movie had some great action sequences in it. The story, although good for holding my interest pretty much throughout, seemed a bit cliched. Overall, though, I liked the movie and was entertained for a couple of hours - and that's the point!
