MindGamers

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

Its funny, saying this movie is a waste of time in a way is a spoiler. the movie seemingly wants you to leave with that conclusion.

Its one of those experiences where at the credits end, you look around wonder what went wrong.

You look around the empty theater that has continued to be empty from the moment you arrived and realized you were the only one in a 45 mile radius to fall for this. You look on the screen after credits, and see some 'intense dude' with his 'futurey' cover of "grapevine" on repeat for 15 minutes.

You think back to the entire process that lead you there: when you first heard about the hype, the possibilities, the purchase of the twenty dollar tickets, and the thrill of driving 45 minutes to Greenville to see the film.

And you find yourself feeling goop-ed out of your time and energy. YouTube does what this movie does on the reg.

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

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.

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!!
