MindGamers

While not a superb film, it does assume you are familiar with theories such as Schrodinger's Cat. Or Unified field theory, or Parallel universes, or String Theory, or Brain bridging etc. I'm not going to pretend I know everything about these theories, but I do watch a lot of science and space documentaries. And also, many of these theories are controversial in science, philosophy, or religion.

RECOMMEND: If you like the POSSIBILITIES of of these theories, you may find it OK to watch - it kind of takes a leap of faith, aka 'imagination' but at least you'll understand it. I found it interesting - I've seen MUCH worse!!

teetering between a 4 and a 5 for me; it's pretty, shallow, and confusing... weak plot built out of decent premise.

it tries for the mindbendy wow that was managed in films like inception, but misses considerably...

i feel like if you enjoyed "the cell" there's a chance you'll enjoy this... it is pretty, i'll give it that

I didn't know what was going on most of the movie. And the ending was even more so.

Pretentious, very over-acted, though I blame script and direction for that. It wanted to bring a coolness and edge to a critical analysis of religion and existentialism. It cast science in terms of religion, or religion in terms of science. It balanced the individual against the concept of a group consciousness. It played on the idea of reality as something that one could shift into and out of as a counter (or complement) to determinism. The film over-reached a fair bit and occasionally broke character to toss a line to the likely bewildered audience to help them get over some of the more significant leaps. There was too much slow-mo of Melia Kreiling, as delightful as her screen-presence is. Still, moderate effects, some decently pretty visuals, actors making the best of their material and it's not the worst thing I've seen lately. You're better off (re-)watching the Matrix for an equivalent sci-fi edginess that touches on similar philosophical topics but is way better (and doesn't show its age at all).

I was bored within the first 5 minutes. This movie has no plot line, period. The conversations between people make zero sense. The concept makes zero sense. There's almost a sense that the writer tried to purposefully make it not understandable in a conceided way like "this is beyond you, you wouldn't understand". I understand that I'm snoring and this is uncreative and just dumb.
