Thoughts
This was the best film from 2006. I was sorely disappointed that it was not even nominated for Best Picture by the Oscars.
I do not even know where to begin. This film had everything: originality, thought, well-choreographed action, great acting, heart-wrenching emotion, detailed universe and humor all wound up with precision.
I love that they do not explain why things happened in the story. This is because the characters cannot explain why things are happening either, and it would have slowed the pace. The audience only understands the rules of this world and then we are thrown onto the roller-coaster ride.
The reason you must see this is for a certain battle scene. Halfway through this intense fight, you reach an 'oh shit' realization that all this is done in one take without the aide of computer graphics. All you can do is watching amazement. I hope the DVD will have a featurette on how did the filmmakers pull it off.
What I would change
Nothing.
