and... people who like old films.

Woohoo! The film was well made. Storywise, sci-fi and frightening.

How the story was revealed to the audience was great. Gradually, the truth comes to light. The story was somehow a blend between the movie, The Truman Show (starred by Jim Carrey) and The Matrix. Well, you should see for yourself.

A big thanks to Director Michael Bay for how he wants the show to be drawn and filmed. It was a fantastic job. The visuals were incredible as there were many explosions, as well as the way future was depicted was shown in the movie.

An action film which makes you ponder whether who should be killed. It not just about killing between the good and bad, but between the usefulness/value of the person. The film touches a lot on morality issues and the ethical issues revolving the whole new world of bioengineering.

The film was thrilling and made me ponder over the social, moral and ethical issues that are currently present in our society. That's good, because that was something wasn't sure about in the past.

P/S:regarding the part on, for people who liked old films, some scenes did resemble Bad Boys I,Bad Boys II, The Matrix, City of Angels, X-men II... The director must have put in a lot of effort to do that.
