SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't particularly like this movie. The cinematography was great, the acting was great, soundtrack was great...the story was weak. First off, it was built up like a psychological film, and then suddenly became a fantasy. It took too long to let you know it was a fantasy, and then when you look back on it...it just doesn't seem to fit or flow well. The whole LE thing seemed STUPID and SILLY...far from thought provoking. I felt disappointed, gypped, and most of all, unsatisfied. There was no real conclusion to the film...and oftentimes when a story lacks a conclusion it still leaves you wondering about things. I didn't wonder anything. I simply did not care.
The movie would have been a lot more enjoyable to me had the whole lucid dream BS been in Tom Cruise's mind. To me, the human mind is far more disturbing and twisted than than the Life Extension thing.
Again, I think this is another movie that people tend to enjoy simply because it's artsy. Artsy, maybe it was...but that was just because of the cinematography. The plot was not artistic, like I said, it was silly and full of holes.
I'd just as soon watch GROUNDHOG DAY. That movie actually seemed more properly thought out than this collosal mess!
