This was just plain horrible. Hollywood has lost the ability to tell a story. They ask us to stretch our minds and piece together this disjointed movie. How lazy are they getting? Crap is crap and they should be ashamed.
5/5 . Will make your brain sweat at first ; then it will all come together. This movie has so many themes, plots and "social commentaries" that it will take time to process AFTER the movie. Do not miss 1 minute ; and it will all make sense. It is a grand statement and then some. May take 2 or more viewings for it all to make sense. If you liked "Inception" ; then this movie is for you.
This is amazing movie!! It may not be everyones cup of tea because it is not for every one to understand and based of few bad reviews i have seen here it is clearly the case. The movie does come together, all plots end beautifully.
Trying to follow 5+ story lines, showing 2 minutes at a time per story line was confusing. I didn't understand most of the movie. Good cast, good special effects, but just didn't come together
hmmm... 3 stereotypic ugly variations of 'yellow face' (whites portraying east asian males)... [see official site (diamond faces background swf)] and never allow a good looking east asian male to portray itself , except only females allowed to do so? uh-huh... uh-uh (NOT!!!). meanwhile, all others, B&W are allowed... making it very ethnically un-color positive. sad mindset of hollywood persists. ouch... what a slap in the face of those who are American born with east asian roots.
Excellent movie... Great acting, visual and plot....It requires certain understanding of reincarnation & Buddhism. Love it!!!!!
Wish this movie made sense .. big cast and you think its going to have all your questions answered at the end leaves you with nothing.
high concept, big production, great cast, very original. left me wanting at the end. the first 1/2hr of the movie takes concentration as the stories inter-cut frequently but you quickly get used to it. i really wanted to like this movie more but for me the ending was unsatisfying after the investment of almost 3hrs focus.
Wait, wait, wait, for the whole thing to come together. Three hours later and nada!! Good acting, great cinematography and no plot!
Visually stunning. If you wanna use your brain at the movies, go see this movie. I have never seen anything like it and how many times can you say that for a movie made in Hollywood.
