I started watching the Russian subtitled version on the internet. It looked interesting, so we went to see it. In spite of the negativity towards it that we read here, we definitely enjoyed it. It was different. Sure I said in the first part; “He’s Lt Dunbar, and they put him in the future”, but it kept our attention for the 2.5 hours. The visual effects were great, when it comes out in DVD we’ll probably pick one up. I liked Blade Runner when it first came out, and still do, even though it wasn’t popular at the time. Even if Avatar was a rerun of a western plot, how many times have we’ve seen Agatha Christy’s 10 little Indians plot?

Did the same. Don't think many realize there's pirated versions on the net. I don't read Russian so I couldn't understand the subtitles. Will also buy it later when it's heavily discounted.

Look, I'm no "rocket-surgeon" so I've had to seek out people that understand art and philosophy and I now have just enough knowledge to be dangerous to myself and others on the internet.

I am in no way qualified to critique any art form but as a consumer of art, in this case film, I say it is:

Technical ability: A breakthrough and stunning.
World view: A steaming pile.
