This is quite a film, and a must see in my opinion. There have been very few films that have moved me as much as this one. It is thought provoking, and extremely un-nerving.
One really cannot call it true science fiction, since it shows a world with the same problems we have today ( terrorism, pollution, disease, illegal immigration, etc. ), only that they have all become much, much worse. The story grips you from the very beginning, and never lets go.
And while the ending may be somewhat predictable, the way the characters gets there is definitely not. There are some major unexpected twists to the plot that I certainly did not see coming at all. Just as Private Ryan made you feel you were among a squad of soldiers in combat, you will in a similar way feel you are living in this terrifying future.
The movie definitely deserves its R rating, for extremely brutal and realistic violence. So don't bring any kids along with you. There are some very strong female characters in the film, and I think many women will enjoy it, despite the explicit violence. For there are many touching human moments as well.
