Sick Product of a Sick System
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Fractalus is an intriguingly weird little 25-minute short about a near future where humanity seems to be aware of God's location in the universe. Scientific and religious teams try to reach it constantly, but none have succeeded due to a breakdown of time-space during the approach.It's not exactly a big-budget production, but makes excellent use of what it has, presenting quite a delicious little riddle that you can have lots of fun interpreting.It's a brain twister, though of the type where you can feel there's a more coherent intended plot, rather than a jumble of artsy symbolism (think "Donnie Darko", as opposed to "Blue Velvet"). There are also some interesting explanations to be found around online.
1 Star for the production values. 0 For the script/direction.Meaningless pseudo metaphysical clap trap dressed in sci-fi.Kind of reminds you of the metaphysical ending of Kubricks 2001.. but without anything worth while preceding, blended with Twightlight for gen Y sci-fi fans...Judging by the credits quite a bit of time money & effort went into this nonsense.Is it just a tech demo of what this company can do in order to sell themselves to prospective clients?A teaser for an forth coming feature film? I sincerely hope not.Maybe it was just a concept to pitch at test audiences. Pretty sure it was canned because of audience reaction if it was.
