Please don't spend money on this.
Absolutely brilliant
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
I rented this movie thinking I may have missed it at the box office years ago. The cover looked very interesting which led me to believe that the movie would cover new ground for science fiction fans. I was hoping for material to be creative, with a very understanding script. And, recognizing a few name actors, led me to believe that this film may be good to watch. Sadly to say, the movie just put me to sleep. The people behind this project must have not have any experience in motion picture production. Or, the people producing this film may have been in the mood to make a movie for themselves to enjoy? No entertainment value!
Maybe I'm a masochist but I felt compelled to post a comment on this movie as 10 years on it's still one of the five worst movies I've ever been mad enough to watch all the way through. It has an interesting premise but this is totally wasted by a very confusing script. Messrs Sikking & Elizondo are talented actors but even they can't save this one. The only remotely interesting point is the bizarre moment when Hector Elizondo's character impersonates someone having a grand mal seizure - I'm no expert & I don't wish to belittle epilepsy but it seemed extraordinarily well done. This aside, I'd have to say - don't get suckered in by the video cover like I was - it just ain't worth it.
Anyone who calls this film "boring" or "a disappointment" is merely indicating their lack of intelligence and ability to work with a film. If you want the kind of movie where you leave your brain at home and stuff your face with popcorn then go rent any one of a million sh*t hollywood blockbusters, this film is poignant, touching and clever, with a brilliant script (perfectly executed by the two main characters) and a stunning soundtrack. Every frame is beautifully lit, framed and designed. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to be slated for a DVD release, which would give the viewer the ultimate aural experience intended in the original release. If you want to know what it's about, i can only sum up with the words of Dr.Peterson....."...it's about life"Breathtaking!
I have seen many films in my life. Some amazing, some dire. However, this film surpasses anything I have ever encountered. As film goers we sit and tolerate a slow start, confused plots, etc., in the hope that they improve. This film does not. I am loathe to even write about it, as it has already wasted two hours of my life. Be warned the marketing bods have been at work and the back of the video cover even makes this sound exciting, 20,000 digital effects and out-of-this-world mystery. If I every have to watch this film again, I will end it all. Officially ...... The worst film I have ever seen. And I've seen Nothing But Trouble.
