DON"T GO! LOL! Not a good movie. Some people in the theater (only 1/4 full) walked out. A very good premise, but not well executed. Why do people keep hiring Hayden Christensen? A lot was not explained, but the ending left it wide open for the sequel.

It is doing ok on imdb, 3000+ votes, 6.4/10, but the critcis hate it! It has terrible ratings on rottentomatoes.

I am disappointed, it sounded good.

I tend to not agree with the main critics these days, they always seem like they decided whether to like something amongst themselves, before seeing it, then rate accordingly. However Darrel didn't like it either... I was going to watch it this weekend, but we decided not to, with the reviews, but as some reviews are positive I might see it in a couple of weeks if there's nothing else on. Vantage Point is next weekend and I can't miss that!

It's unfortunate when a movie leaves the ending wide open for a sequel, but the movie is such a bomb that the sequel is never made. The review I read on this complained of this fact. The first movie should have had a conclusion. To count on the fact that there will be a second movie is over confidence on the filmmaker's part.

No, I haven't seen this. Sounds like a very interesting premise, but as Ebert says, it's not what a movie is about, but _how_ it is about it. And it sounds like this movie didn't get it right.
