Roll your eyes into the back of your head all you want. I stand by what I said. It's pure in its economy of language and motion. There's nothing wasted. They wring a lot of emotion out of very minimal scenes and throughout the high energy action scenes very well. It's totally stripped down, almost zero exposition outside of the opening news broadcasts. Tells the barest plot and allows you to fill in the gaps.
But hey, you can turn it into a film/cinema/movie circle jerk all you want.
I think you meant to say it was the leanest film you've ever seen, then. The purest film you've ever seen though? Like, it was the film that best personified what it means to be a film? As if there's a strict definition you can boil (limit) a film down to being? It was the most concentrated piece of celluloid you've seen to the point that there were almost no parts that weren't cinematic? That, my dear NotTheGuy, is cinemarrrrr circle jerk talk.
