Some people apparently think this is one of the greatest movies ever made; I can't agree, but it is an extremely solid and thoughtful crime drama. Very dark and gritty (possibly more than some viewers will be comfortable with), but two very strong lead performances and a streak of black humour keep it watchable. After a relatively conventional first few acts, the end of the film takes a sharp turn in an unexpected direction, which may frustrate and disappoint some viewers, but the shift away from genre movie to drama is well handled. Entertaining, gripping and thought-provoking.

I can appreciate pieces of art being more of a thought provoking or statement piece, but I'm pretty sure being left dumbfounded and speechless (neither of those in a good way) was not the reaction this was aiming for.
I suppose visually it was pleasing to the eye, and some of the action (when it did occur) looked good too but I, unfortunately, saw this at the cinema, so I think that added to the spectacular aspect of those scenes.
I doubt I would have been half as impressed if watching it at home.
I would give it a miss, you aren't really missing out on anything, unless you like to watch Brad Pitt brooding, but doing it in space, as he goes on the galaxies most boring 'road trip'.
