Metropolis

Saw Metropolis at the local video store - had heard the name and nothing else so grabbed it...
Amazing choreography, direction etc for the medium (silent film). The over-emphasis of emotion was sorta funny but I guess necessary due to the lack of sound - but I didn't really mind overall. The special effects were great and there was better suspension of disbelief than expected.
Themes were great. I like anything that is a bit subversive. Though I guess it showed more about what can go bad, rather than any real hints of how to do thing well, except for communication I guess. Maybe that was the point?
Really liked the film up until the end. Thought it was a little repetitive with the whole mediator thing. Otherwise a great small extrapolation of humanity into a future.
I'm guessing most people have seen it? any comments or reviews?
