It's no wonder that this film has gotten rave reviews and is currently 100% on Rotten Tomatoes..., it is a fun story, well told, well acted, beautifully filmed. I can't recall the last time I burst out laughing so many times in a film recently. Brought back memories of my childhood being carefree and the pitfalls of adolescence. Its a coming of age story with extremely insightful views of relationships and bonding. Go see it when it gets released at the end of the month...!!!

Admittedly not my favorite genre, but I do have to say that I was thrilled to see this one in full IMAX which was an incredible way to enjoy this type of blockbuster 'summer' film. It will do well and lots of people will absolutely love it, I'm sure...

We all make decisions every day. Sometimes we are well aware of the consequences our actions, based on those decisions, will have on our lives..., but many times we don't even know the effect they may have on others.

This film is in no way perfect, but it does tell a great story about how the effects of online behaviors cal impact others we don't even know. There was a particular scene which affected me deeply due to a recent incident involving someone I know. It brought to light how "real" these themes can be in our daily lives...

So while I typically like Danny Boyle's films and whereas this one is filmed nicely, it is perhaps too much smoke and mirrors (if you are into hypnotism and mind manipulations, you will have a lot to absorb) when the big reveal finally happens. I found myself being tricked into not always knowing what was real and what was power of suggestion or what the viewer was lead to believe. I wouldn't tell people to run out and see it, but it was enjoyable enough for me.

Much deeper & darker than I had anticipated. It tells the stories of the legacies and implications of father/son relationships, exploring them in ways in which the viewer never quite can determine good from bad, right from wrong, black from white. The motivations of the characters comes into play at all times.
