I was also at that Century City screening last night, and I was
probably one of the people who were saying they thought this movie was
awesome. I enjoyed it immensely. It has been described as an
action-adventure-romance-sci-fi pic and it truly is all of that.

First of all, the cinematography was stunning. Tony Scott and his DOP,
Paul Cameron, do fantastic work -- every shot is beautifully composed.
And all the footage that involves a cast of thousands (meaning the
crowd scenes) is masterful work.

I don't know why I started with commenting on the photography (also the
editing) of this movie. It's probably because that is what struck me
from the very beginning, particularly when there is so much going on in
the opening sequence. Yet you never get lost. Above all, the
performances and story are great and really suck you in. Yes, this
movie requires a fair bit of suspension of disbelief. I would go so far
as to say the plot was far-fetched, but the heart of the story just
takes you along for the ride.

For the record, I felt Scott's most recent teaming with Denzel, Man on
Fire, was one of the best movies of 2004. I don't think Deja Vu is as
good as Man on Fire, but it's right up there as one of the most
entertaining and thrilling movies I've seen this year.

For sheer entertainment and an intriguing (though not flawless) plot,
Bruckheimer, Scott and Co. sure have DELIVERED the goods.

I recommend you see Deja Vu on the big screen with a big, loud audience
for maximum enjoyment. Part of the appeal last night was exactly that;
hearing the audience -- as one -- laugh, applaud and sigh along with
this movie and getting swept up in that communal experience.

post scriptum -- Any fans of Otto Preminger's wonderful 1994 classic
Laura may be delighted by the echoes of that storyline in Deja Vu.
