I liked this quite a bit but maybe not as much as I expected to given the hype. It looked amazing and I wish that I could see it on a big screen, my 32" bedroom TV didn't do it justice, but the story seemed a little predictable and the pacing was weird. It seemed like the narrative took forever to get going but then wrapped things up way too quickly. There were some great performances though, especially Carey Mulligan, Jason Mitchell and even Garrett Hedlund who was so terrible in Tron.
