This movie was extremely well-made, but I found it difficult to get over how unbelievable the premise was. An unbelievable premise is one thing for the purposes of entertainment, but in a movie that's strength lies in crafting subtle, complex characters reacting to a specific environment in human ways, it's hard for me to forgive it. Despite being a vastly inferior movie, the similar premise of The Island was much more plausible to me.

Just saw an early preview of this. Pretty funny, very likable. The cast really enlivens a script that could have been pretty boring in lesser hands.
