So, you recommend it?

It looked like another “HEY! LOOK WHAT CGI CAN DO!” movie to me.

No, it’s a very nice melding of what CGI can do, when placed into the right context (I can’t explain that without possible spoilers) and compliment a movie without taking control of the movie.

There is a lot more CGI than the “Dark City” style morphing you have seen in the trailers. But it is well used.

The movie is about as tightly written as any screenplay I have seen in a real long time. Almost surprised that they were able to sell the treatment to Hollywood, because it is not a couch potato movie.

It’s a action flick, “James Bond” like story, psychological thriller, sci-fi and all that, and intelligent as all get out.
