Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the hell out of it, it was one of the most clever and multi-level stories of the genre I've ever seen... I just kept waiting for the 'big moment'.
Maybe my physics background screwed me over this time. :) I was thinking of a long-span backup unit as soon as they showed the first unit in the storage. It just seemed... logical. :D Maybe that was the problem - they acted logically, so most of the steps seemed obvious to another engineer. *shrug* When Aaron got out with a bloody ear, I suspected this wasn't really his first trip through. As soon as Abe heard the story about the shotgun at the party, it kind of confirmed a looped story. I love how everything fitted into place in the end though. (Made the 'critters in the attic' rather gruesome. :) ) Beautifully done. Ranks up there with Memento for making the audience fire some neurons, IMO. :)
