This was a strange one. It's one of those epic science fiction flicks that disregard nearly every physical law known to man, but still somehow makes it work. The majority of the movie is a well-paced drama outlining the deterioration of sanity, yet for some reason the writers thought it'd be a great idea to make it a suspense thriller with an unnamed villain near the last third of the movie. The transition makes the movie go from a little predictable to very, very predictable. Luckily, some very excellent cinematography and casting saves it from drowning, but I just can't stand movies that think it's a great idea to introduce a random character near the end. Still, a great film to showcase that LCD screen. 8.5/10.
