681340, one of the best movies of the year so far...

...And yeah, it's only June, but this flick was a blast.
A great introduction to Bong Joon Ho's movies.
As far as sci-fi dystopia goes, it didn't bore you with minutiae (see that last Terminator movie), nor did it "overdo the boom" (last Total Recall movie). Movie went at an exciting pace without losing depth.
I have no idea why anyone would want to make an "American" cut - this cut worked great.
Tilda Swinton is, well, she's Tilda Swinton. Nothing short of amazing.
I've never been a Chris Evans fan, so for me to say I liked him in this is saying something.
Rest of the cast is great.
The last half hour is probably the weakest of the movie, but that's an easily forgiven fault.
Definitely a "pay to see it in the theatre" movie.
