Has anyone seen this? Is it good? Supposedly it's the longest single shot in the history of cinema, and the only movie filmed in one take. Plus, it's about time travel and has thousands of extras. Sounds unusual at the very least. I have a chance to check it out tonight, wondering if I should

Yeah, it's worth a watch. It's really technically impressive but Jeb's right.

That's probably the best way I've heard to describe it. Kind of like a RossiyaQatsi.
