Rebirth

How many movies do we need, with the 'only in a movie' plot of some poor dumb schmuck ALLOWING himself to be subjected to endless UNCONVINCING mind games throughout? The viewer is set up with the idea that the schmuck is going to learn some valuable lesson by the time it's through. But he's a non-existent movie stock character: anyone in real life would catch on that they're being gulled and would yell "you can all go f____ yourselves" and storm out, but this is the character who never does. I did, about 45 minutes in. Anyone want to post a spoiler and tell me if the lesson he learns is how to do that?

Can anyone tell me what I just watched?

I loved the plot, well the thought of the plot, but am I missing something? I'm certainly not stupid, but the last half of the movie left me more confused than ever.

The end?

This is the most annoying movie I have ever watched in my life. It will make you understand how Elvis could shoot his TV. An hour and 40 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

Rebirth is one of those movies I confess to enjoying, but I genuinely didn't have a clue what was going on. It was trippy, gripping, and just plain bonkers. It was disturbing, but did tell a good story, how we're incredibly materialistic as a society, and how we're all totally reliant on our phones. The film had a slightly odd homo erotic feel about it I thought. Very well acted, Fran Kranz and Adam Goldberg were excellent.

It's a film you could easily dismiss, saying it makes no sense, but it's actually well written, and neatly crafted. I loved the 'not a cult' theme that ran through it.

Marketing will be the death of us all!

Enjoyed it, 7/10

This is one of the strangest and most exhilarating movies I've ever seen. I am so confused at what I just watched and why I enjoyed it so much. You literally can not have one expectation of what you're about to see. What kept me so keyed in and interested was just the constant confusion on what was happening here. I was really able to put myself in the main character's shoes because we know as little about what's going on here as he does. The audience is able to be just as confused and anxious as he is throughout the length of the film. That added so much to the suspense and entertainment value, as well as giving a unique movie experience that most people will not receive often.

It's satirical, strange, in your face, confusing, uncomfortable, riveting and downright shocking to say the least. I recommend watching this because it is an experience most people have probably never received from a film and it's something that I'm glad I jumped into. It's a cult movie, but unlike any of the other ones you've seen and I can almost guarantee it.

Also, the acting was superb and felt real to the situation, the score was unique and inventive, the camera-work is high-quality and honestly, you just gotta give this movie a go.
