Mix together 1984, Frarenheit 451, matrix and some hints of Metropolis and give it to a bad writer. The result can't be worse than this film. For a sci-fi lover is a must NOT TO BE SEEN.

It's pretty impressive stuff, although it's hard to believe no one could get off a shot of their own while Christian Bale's character is flipping a More

However some people exhibit emotions by not taking the medicine. They want to liste More
