The special effects and camera shot are supposed to be spectacular. Does the film really mention Bush by NAME??? That would make no sense at all.

"The special effects and camera shot are supposed to be spectacular."

If you attend films with an eye mostly for camera work, you may be happy in that regard. FR is a political board so I've focussed on that aspect of the film.

"Does the film really mention Bush by NAME??? That would make no sense at all."

The film references Bush by reference frequently; and you're right, it doesn't make sense.

Of course it's a dystopian topic (so is _Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep_) but there's a huge difference between a film drawing forth meaningful themes from a novel (as did _Blade Runner_) versus supplanting them with a gross propaganda message.

I think this is the movie I caught Michael Medved talking about on his radio show. He said that there are Bush Lied, People Died posters and other slogans in the background of numerous shots.
