An interesting movie about the necessity to control everyone in a society more and more attached to the web. On one side the ideal of a perfect democracy and transparency, on the other the abuse of control and violation of privacy.
It is a well done movie and an opportunity to think about the world in which we are living, but also the direction that we are taking, sometimes loosing the sense of the reality.
Emma Watson is always a great actress, the plot is good, the idea original. I liked it.

OK, the change from Saulus to Paulus was predictable, but many a-movies have been made on that topic so, why not. But the whole sense - in my opinion - of that kind of radical change in ones credo should be minutely documented, I mean, that's the whole point of it, no? What will you do on your way back to being found, how will you manage to expose your former demigods? All of that should take a little more than "I did everything you asked!". For a moment there, I was about to say, darn, the girl can act. Eventually, I returned to my initial conviction that she should have stayed with Harry Potter. There are two arguments though that I would like to contradict myself on that: first, obviously, even the mighty Hanks can be part of a nonsense like this, second, there is one scene, at the end, with Emma starring at the drones and greeting them, where she displays precisely the part she should have acted after the change in her conviction: seemingly naive but with all the knowledge she had acquired in the meantime. Sadly, she didn't. In summary: too expensive actors with to little money left for a descent screenplay. No recommendation from me.

Don't get me wrong, i liked the message the movie gave, but the ending just killed me. Instead of learning from her(Mae) mistakes with Mercer, by trying to find a way to reverse what she did, she took it a step further and "invited" everyone to go transparent.
