What a wonderful wonderful movie, gentle and sexy and so full of real lessons. It could so easily have tipped into soft-core but avoids every trap - a movie of conversations and actions and results and consequences. The title might suggest that this is going to be a movie overflowing with nudity (there's none) and simulated sex (again none). I think I would sum it upas gentle and sexy without crudity.
Both of the lead actors are superb. The direction is faultless and you feel as though you are moving through the parties, perhaps I should term them soirees, as Madame Simone does. In many way this could have been an elegant West End or Broadway play since almost the whole movie revolves around the two leads with everyone else there as support - and for that reason there will be many who will dislike it but I will say it again - WONDERFUL and beautiful and I LOVED the ending!

Okay, from the top, this is NOT ray-guns and spaceships and battles - what it is 100% cerebral sci-fi that you need to watch, yes actually watch, not have in the background while you play your Playstation 3.
The acting is underplayed and beautifully realistic, no-one screams and shouts - well okay, not many people and not very often. People talk and discuss and present ideas. The storyline is incredibly clever and will have you guessing as to where it is going and who you can trust. Indeed who, if anyone, is telling the truth!
Direction and Production are first class. I am so glad that 'The Studios' didn't get the script and turn it into a big budget blockbuster - it proabbly wouldn't have worked one tenth as well.
If you liked 'First Contact' (Jodie Foster) you will probably love this. Ignore the naysayers. Who cannot think beyond the next Star Wars movie and enjoy the pure entertainment of acting.

Okay, taking the cue from my header the CGI/special effects on this movie are truly state of the art and excellent. The problem is that the writer/director/producer (yes, it is the same person) relies too much on the CGI to cover up a relatively poor script.
The storyline concept is actually quite good and in the hands of a better director/producer could have been a 10 star film. As it is there are so many plot holes, non-sequiturs and 'why on earth would he do that?' points that even the most uncritical cannot avoid seeing them.
The publicity and hype promised a masterpiece - sadly what we were given was a just about watchable movie but one that certainly wouldn't repay a second viewing.
