Excellent, smart action film.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

View MoreAn English gentleman is at his breakfast table, eating some cheese and reading his paper with the aid of a magnifying glass. He turns his attention to the cheese and, with his magnifying glass, sees a myriad of tiny, crab-like cheese mites wandering around his breakfast. Yuck! The IMDb trivia for this Charles Urban short claims this is the first science movie, a claim I find difficult to accept, even though I cannot recall any earlier works that would fit the description. Even if I could, it would not affect the impact of this movie, which must have put its audience off cheese for a few days. I don't know if that was the intended purpose of this film, but if it was, then mission accomplished!
