I've just succumbed to the relentless promotioneering and watched this. I really enjoyed it! Nice big juicy electro soundtrack from Clint Mansell and lots of eye popping visuals of what the future will look like. I liked how all the performances were played really downbeat too. I had kind of got the feeling that it hasn't been doing so well but it was fine.

Here's The Fall (avec Brix Smith) doing a cover of 'There's A Ghost In My House' as the original R Dean Taylor version has been completely wiped from the net. How very meta!

It was utter shit.
I was so agog at the crapness of it all I hardly noticed the old PWEI bloke's work once his name disappeared from the opening credits.
Theres a sci-fi film thread with more detail.

Yup, it's saying that the video is unplayable- unless that's just my device?

I enjoyed it, but found it rather po-faced. When the credits came I was hoping for a blooper real just to relieve the sombre tone a bit.

Fair point I normally rail against films that feel that they are above cracking a gag or two but I guess I felt that in this case the stony faces suited the whole human rights abuse/violating without consent theme of the film

[code]
#!/bin/bash
cat <<EOF | base64 --decode | gunzip
