My wife & I headed out to the movies, we only have a small local theatre and the choice was World War Z, After Earth or this. I'm very glad we chose this movie.
Without giving anything away, I strongly recommend this movie, it is superbly made & acted, though at times some of the camera work was lacking (grainy darks, odd colours), not sure if this was intentional or not, but it wasn't too distracting.
Subtitles are always a hit with me, I much prefer movies in their native languages. Again, not distracting at all and easy to follow.
No big names that most people would recognise bar one and his is not a lead role.
I'll leave the various themes & meanings to other reviewers. I just go to watch & enjoy.
I recommend.

The first movie I ever saw that really made an impact was in the St John's hall in Waipukurau in about 1978. We didn't have a movie theatre in town, so on the odd Saturday arvo they would show films in the hall.
Dad took me along one Saturday to see "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and fair to say I have been a died & true Western Fan ever since. In my house, we have Western Sunday's every cold & wet winter afternoon.
This film is different, some people won't enjoy it. Do I enjoy it more because it's made in my country and I know some of the locations? I don't know, but I will say it even made my wife laugh and she hates Westerns! Give it a go, you may be surprised.
