Didn't like it. Too violent, too dark, too meaningless. Should have seen wall-e instead.

Go see it digitally if it is available in your area :-) So far I have seen it three times in the theater (hey, I couldn't get everyone to go see it at the same time, so sue me), and I plan on buying the dvd when it comes out.
