Because it is FUN FUN FUN!!! The action scenes are great, Christian Bale is perfection, and there's even a puppy! I just finished watching it for the umpteenth time, and I still love it. I can just smell the testosterone in the air. LOL
Did you ever ride a roller coaster, then feel queasy afterwards? Did that make you dislike roller coasters or stop riding them?? Of course not. So even though the movie has faults, that doesn't make it any less fun. And isn't that why we watch movies in the first place??

Although I like the movie, in that I find it entertaining and you want to know how it ends, it 's full of contradictions.
What 's the point of the regime giving speeches to convince their people when they don't have any emotions and have all emotions turned off by Prozium ?
The weakest point is indeed the medicine (almost) everyone takes voluntarily.
How would you convince a whole society to take a drug on a daily basis ?
By convincing thaem that violence is bad ?
The only way to do that would be by letting people feel disgust but as all emotions have been anihilated this is not possible -

I think this film really resonate with changes the audience wants to see in the contemporary world, which I assume was it's goal and is the goal of any good subversive speculative fiction. Throw in some futuristic stuff and a new world and some violence and the overthrow of a corrupt system and you really get to what people resonate with. Now that is precisely why subversive writing was historically a capital offense it can energize people or change them in some way. Hard to really do that any other way and it's also hard to fake. This is like the Matrix or V is for Vendetta that way.

Because it was completely ludicrous yet so enjoyable.
Because it was such a soap opera B Film yet the actors involved gave A game performances.
Because it mixed a number of dreary, dystopic novels (1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World) in an interesting way. -

It is probably rated highly because there are no fewer than three scenes that are exceptional.
The scene where he cries to the classical music, two of the fighting scenes were really well choreographed (while strangely, some of them were not choreographed well at all!) and the scene where he shoots his friend.
Probably more, but I remember distinctly being impressed by certain scenes, and a movie is a series of different scenes. This one had some great ones. -

To me this is just one of those films that pull me in and completely shut off my brain. Sure, afterwards I recognize its severe lack of logic and the impossible premise. But when I go into this one, I feel so entertained by Preston's vengeance on the suppressive society - I'm going along with him.
So I'd call it a feel-good movie!
