Just watched it for the 2nd time and enjoyed it even more than the 1st. Brilliant writing and direction. great for fans of Lynch & Kubrick.
I was actually late for work because I couldn`t stop watching the story unfold. I had recorded it and actually had to stop myself from fast forwarding to see what was really happening. The build up to the end was amazing.
I loved this movie. I`m still in the process of fully understanding it. I feel it was directed really well but the writers should have dont a little more with helping the audience comprehend what they were watching. However once the credits began to flash all I could think about was watching it again.
interesting movie. great architecture. forster really likes crazy staircases. i missed a plot, too, but it´s kind of watching the clean up after a car accident...you know it´s sad and it makes you sad, but you still can´t look away...it´s just so crazy. oh and the plot thing...i don´t know, maybe we are way too much used to having somebody say: well, boys and girls, what do we have learned? to me this movie makes more sense than "a scanner darkly".
I liked this movie a lot. If you are looking for a flashy mainstream entertainment movie, look somewhere else. This movie is extremely psychological and makes you think. Just when you think you know everything, there comes another twist which brings you back to ground zero saying "what the hell is going on?" You have to pay close attention and that is what I liked about it and the cast did a great job.
this is the best movie i have yet seen. it literally saved my life.
The point of the movie is not the plot, but to intelligently and exquisitely challenge you to experience the concurrent ambiguity of life and death.
Stay isn`t for the weak of heart or mind. To get the film you have to stay focused and pay very close attention. If you go to the movies to be spoon fed the plot, don`t bother with this film. Also avoid combining substances with this film, you might just hurt yourself. It very much reminded me of a "Jacob`s Ladder" type film without the "conspiracy" angle. The actors gave excellent performances and the special effects were spectacular. I gave it a four stars.
Outstanding, spectacular and well twisted. If you think you are smart and believe that surrounding world is solid like a rock... you should really see this piece and give it all a second thought.
Excellent
