if you only had a day left to live, what would you do?
THAT, folks, is what you get. yes, i went for another movie today. i don't think u need a summary or synopsis so i'm gonna just jump in.
Yes, the concept that time is money (literally) is very, very intriguing. I was very entertained for two hours :) just... just two things that made me a LITTLE unsettled.
1. loopholes??
not that there were loopholes but... it feels like there were some things that were left a little TOO vague. i mean, in real steel i suppose it was fine to leave things like 'yeah hugh jackman had some scrape that made him all messed up now' but THIS is simply tooo... off. they didn't explain what did will salas' father did, or why giving people in the ghettoes more time will cause disbalance... well.. i hope i didn't spoil anything there. all in all, i think some things can be explained a little more.
2. lacks depth
ahh. not that the story sucked, but it lacks depth. and it was such a pity too, because i thought that it had some potential to be a little more than what i watched tonight. story development was two-dimensional, there was practically no surprise element, no story climax, bleah. the characters were also kinda meh, though amanda seyfried remains hot in my opinion :P
okay, so comparatively, real steel is the better deal (rhyme intended). and off i go to do my powerpoint slides for my presentation on friday :)
