Such a fantastic movie! I cannot recommend it enough, even if you did not care for Gilliam's other work

Anyone else partake in this film?

I was going to see it this weekend but it's too cold to suffer through unnecessary public transit at this point... next weekend probably. Looking forward to it.

@M3NTAL - it's open in a bunch of theaters in Phoenix and Phoenix suburbs, according to the movie website:

Wow, i was skeptical at first but i might actually consider it. I mainly would like to see it since it is Heath Ledgers last film.

I nearly missed this as I was ill.
Caught it in a crudy little cinema, sitting too close to the screen with the heating stuck on full blast.
Still really enjoyed the movie.
Even if Terry Gilliam is a bit hit and miss, it is because he pushes things and there are usually at least a few scenes to boggle your eyeballs.
In this movie, there are more than a few.

Finally saw it. Heath Ledger bows out with yet another spectacular performance. He will be missed.

I watched it with a few buddies. It felt somewhat patched together with a lot of money thrown into the CGI. There were some strange issues of coherence like when the girl lept through the labeled doors toward the end. I did like some of the more imaginative special effects, but that was about it.
