NOTES:  This film has a way of capturing viewers' attention with ease, the subject matter interesting, the setting of each scene and the costume design fell into place magnificently to fit the film's subject matter: a future where individuals are no longer free to feel.  Having been a film student these are all characteristics of a film I enjoy watching.  One other thing I dare not exclude from this review is the fight scenes which I thought were choreographed well and with an unique look at what the fighting style would be in the future.
