I saw it twice this weekend, the second time in IMAX, which was really took advantage of the larger screen and sound.
I really liked the movie. The things Kosinski pays most attention to, are some of the things I care about the most in movies. The look, the attention to detail, his appreciation for the music. He also has the ability to select perfect women for his movies. I had not seen Riseborough before, but loved her potrayal of Victoria. It's crazy that she would be so dressed up all the time, but I enjoyed it. I also liked Kurylenko, but didn't feel for her like I did for Riseborough.
Setting aside Cruise's personal life, I liked him as Jack. He sure got a workout in the film, and him doing his stunts really shows well.
I felt there were some things that were obvious about the story, but there were also things I was surprised by. It was painful listening to the soundtrack last week and avoiding the track names. A practice I've had since the SW E1 soundtrack "Qui-Gon's Noble End" spoiled that for me.
I wanted to live in the sky tower, and if you haven't yet looked at the behind the scenes piece they released on youtube, you should. How they set that up for filming was amazing. I'm ready to build my own touch interactive large computer system now.

The bubble ship was amazing, and that it was a real 1:1 prop, along with the cool sounding drones, also played well with me. The live action integration with cgi was essentially flawless.
Kosinski used Joseph Trapanese to help with the music, having done so with Tron: Legacy and Tron: Uprising. He seems a perfect match for Daft Punk and now M83.
