Under appreciated with "ghost in the shell" vibes.
The movie is a visual masterpiece which explores very heavy themes such as geopolitics, freedom and identity. Great character development and perfectly paced.
The movie is violent, maybe even grote-ish, but the advanced militarism and tactical realism was why attracted me without knowing any more context. Specifically I saw the drop-scene with disintegrating pods. Total sci fi.
Reading the reviews and seeing the score here I thought it would be all action, no substance. But boy was I wrong.
I really enjoyed this movie and was totally surprised. I was expecting raw violence with a decent storyline and zero depth. Instead it had miles of it. Technology is so advanced, it can't just be made up. There was serious thought put into every aspect of this movie.
But beware, looks can be deceiving. I think a lot of the bad credit could be attributed to the trailer giving the impression of something like "the expendables", and thus attracting that audience.
