A Major Disappointment
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The negative reviews are all so ridiculously nit-picky it's almost as if they were paid just to slam this film. It's a ride, not a thesis, just let it take you along all the twists and turns, don't bother trying to figure it out, and you'll have a good time. Isn't that entertainment?
This is the worst movie I've ever watched in my 21 years of life. First off, what the heck is with the quality of the alien face in the video footage. I couldve drew a much better alien. And IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET TO THE POINT AND I STILL DONT KNOW WHAT THE POINT WAS. We checked to see how much more time was in the movie when we thought it was almost over and there was still 30 minutes left. I feel like I spent 20 years watching this movie. I made an IMDB account to write a review for this movie. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, SPEND YOUR 20 YEARS WATCHING SOMETHING ELSE.
I have yet to view this film but fully intend to. I never, never watch or don't watch a film because of a review! Movie enjoyment is a totally subjective experience. Many of my favorite films, especially in the sci-fi category are considered boring, dumb, irrelevant and some of the more highly thought of films I find the same. If it looks interesting enough to consider viewing do it and make up your own mind!
To say that the movie is turgid is a kindness. There are long sequences without dialogue but many visuals. Sometimes these images are clear, sometimes blurred, sometimes shaky point-of-view shots (somebody watched _Blair Witch_). Why are these different shots used? Who know? Just like all the flashbacks shot as dream sequences. Why? Who knows. In fact, most of the movie is a series of "why's" followed by "who knows" answers. Watch the first ten minutes of this boring, pretentious soul-crusher and realize this -- it never gets better. You've been warned.
