I consider myself a film buff and all I can say is I was disappointed. As always he is good at building up suspense and drawing your interest into what your seeing, but frankly the movie was a let down. I would describe this movie as a gilded shell. Yea its nice that it can draw you in.... but once it has you it does not deliver.
The movie reminded me of THX 1138 both did the same thing IMO.
All the crap people read into this movie is just that.... pretentious crap created by the viewers own mind not by what actually went on during the film.
I've read people online saying things like the movie includes a test for the audience and that if you don't like it you didn't get it.... PLEASE. Anyone who buys into crap like that needs to read the electric acid kool-aid test.
6/10 simply for the visual quality and the success of a few suspenseful scenes (the HIV scene pops to mind)

the absolutely perfectly crafted symbolism *alone* makes this move a masterpiece.
