Anyone seen/excited for this? I wasn't completely sold upon seeing the initial trailers but the more I read about it, the more I like the sound of it. Planning to go soon.

I watched it a week or two ago! I absolutely LOVED that JGL played a character different than the ones he normally does. IMO that's how great actors prove their worth. His character is not without flaw and easy to want to dislike, but very well portrayed. I loved the movie, it was futuristic and so creative. The ideas, even though it was fantasy and science fiction --didn't seem all that far fetched within the scope of the movie. I loved Blunt in it as well, Willis actually doesn't play as huge of a role as I thought he would (and it turned out for the better). Def watch it!

I still haven't seen it, but I found this quite interesting - it's kind of a rough concept trailer for the movie, created to generate investment at what I'm guessing would have been a pretty early stage in it's development. It mixes stock footage, movie footage ('Seven' and 'Bladerunner' being noticeable ones), and animation.

Looper....good concept, nice effects and filming, but the movie itself fell kinda flat
