considering the fact that a lot of the ideas were borroweed from other movies, the story is actually somewhat orginal. i don't know how to explina this, you'd have to see it for yourself to understand, but i mean, you don't think to yourself "oh i 've seen this before, it's like in the matrix" or whatever. i mean, they even did the whole "you killed my father, i'm gonna kill you" "i am your father" bit, from star wars, but you barely even notice because the movie is just that good. i am buying it when it comes out fo shooo
