No I hadn't but it seems very doable, I'll google it after this post. It will likely be okay, it seem like it's probably one of the more translatable series for American adaption.

It was long, like...3 hours, but I was fully entertained for the entire thing. I really liked it when they started explaining extremely technical things like gravitational pulls, the fluidity of time and time distortion...damn, it was a nerds dream.
I just saw this. The sum of the film is better than it's parts. Very well done, and worth seeing for the experience. Surprised to see Christoper Nolan wrote the screenplay as well.

It has some same spiritual themes as other films like it. Left quite a impression visual and otherwise. Covers a ton of ground. The intro scene was interesting, time in the film was intentionally muddled and blurry while the narrative is actually fairly clear in retrospect.
