From what I had heard and seen, I was expecting a good idea wrapped in low production values ruined by poor acting and realisation. I was more than pleasantly surprised. The film was so well told and the story so engaging that the low production values didn't matter. The acting was good enough to not distract me from the story. I wasn't bored once, it was a compelling and entertaining experience.

People here complain the discussions were tiring. Ever been to a grass-roots democratic plenum where a bunch of people tried to come to a decision by talking about it? Those real-life discussions are tiring, really tiring. Compared to them, the discussions in the movie are breezy while still very true to what grass-roots democracy can sound and feel like.

Yes, certain elements of the story may seem naive or simplistic. And yes, it's a very talkative movie. If you are easily annoyed or bored by lots of talking, than this is probably not the movie for you.

I would really recommend it to everyone else though for its unique idea and storytelling.

I too was one of the unfortunate few people who had to suffer through this "movie", during a sneak preview night. Well at least the first 30-45 minutes of it, because that was when me and my mate left.

I just can comment on the production value and the crafting, because until the moment I left I still had no idea what was going on in this movie. I only learned what it was actually about after skimming through the plot on the internet. Apparently some intellectuals try to make the world a better place. Watching the first 30 minutes it never occurred to me, that I was watching a bunch of intellectuals. It looked more like a bunch of students and stereotype bad guys. None of the actors left any impression what so ever on me or stood out. They all seemed pretty generic and replaceable.

The production value appeared to be pretty low in general. Some scenes looked like they were shot in the actual living rooms of the "actors". Whole scenes looked like they were taken directly from youtube. At least they had the look and feel of some youtube videos. Some scenes were set in some kind of fancy chat room, that looked like an out-of-box after effects effect. In those scenes all they chat room participants were projected in a circle of screens, surrounded by some matrix-esqe code bits flying by. Compared to the broader spectrum of films those effects were pretty bad, but in this movie they actually looked neat compared to the rest.

Do yourself a favor and skip this movie.

After reading the divergent opinions about this movie I realized I had to see it for myself in order to know if it's a waste of time or the opposite.

My conclusion had to be: it is not.

Although I can imagine people describing the plot as unlikely, I wouldn't consider it unrealistic. The movie itself is more of a case-study of a certain chain of events, showing different aspects and effects. I would definitely say it was interesting and appropriate for expressing an idea: that technology will certainly change the shape of future life.

Due to a full sneak preview we bought tickets for Knight and Day but thought, let's sit on the floor and take a look what's coming at sneak preview. The first minutes were strange but promising for a movie to think about. After ten minutes we preferred to remain on the floor to watch this great movie. It sure wasn't an expensive production, but who needs that? The two directors did an immense great job with that idea. It has infectious ideas for freedom, democracy, the wish to make things better and sure, if it played in Hollywood with reaching the right amount of people, the potential to change things. But nevertheless there are a few contradictory parts. No brain-roasting Hollywood shi*, great movie to see, going to watch it witch my girlfriend again at premiere in Germany!
