Wow, I watched this last night and I really liked it. One of my favorite books in high school was 1984. This reminded me of a combo of that mixed with a modern nazi germany from the 30's-40's. I thought the story was very good, though the movie was a little confusing in a few parts. at the same time I really liked how they didn't elaborate much on many points.
The biggest problem I noticed was the dialogue seemed muted on my system quite a bit. i had to turn up the volume to hear the conversations at several points. It may be my DVD player, even though it has gotten decent reviews (Pioneer dv-578a) It's on it's way out. The surround sounded great to me. very good mixes, especially when shooting was going on.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie and liked the political undertones. Definately worth the $13.99 @ CC.
