Mind's Eye

I love weird movies, space, time travel, etc. I love all that. This was something that I can't even put into words. The description of the movie is being overly generous. Its like saying Star Wars is about a family squabble. Honestly the best thing about the movie is the music, and thats a stretch also. Maybe it was being filmed in Colorado or that I have seen better home made movies, but this movie was not good. I mean Dean and McDowell were side characters at best. It must have been that legalized pot that made this movie the way it was. And maybe if you were high it would make more sense. But being stone cold sober and not on drugs; well lets just say that I lost the time in watching this movie that no amount of time or space will I ever get back. Skip this all the way to the dump bin.

During the 80's there were good films and there were bad. The bad were terrible. This movie is like locking someone in a room, getting them to watch these terrible movies over and over again and then make them write a script.

The plot themes don't hold together nor do they tie together. The filming is a little worse than a bad 'made for TV' movie. Cliché after cliché after cliché from the 80's - which is why the acting is so bad...

If there's an attempt at lighting? It didn't show. The locations the 'skipping scenes' are shot in have no baring on the plot.

It feels like the sci fi 'multi dimension' and 'quantum physics' is an interpretation which fits snugly into a bad 80's movie - i.e. it makes no sense and has no grounding in reality. It feels more like the writer doesn't really understand what these two physics concepts actually are. We are given no reason why they are involved, stay involved or disappear.

But... when you see 'the event' scene it is touching and the sound quality is good. The film should be marketed as "Knight Rider' and "The A Team" do loss avoidance.

This movie is trying to have a big emotional hit at the end but, because you never emotionally get involved with the characters it simply fails.

I really wanted to like this movie but I could only make it to an hour, out of almost 2 hour length. The actors, I believe, try their hardest but the script and probably the directing were not solid enough. I am not qualified to be in front of the camera as an actor, but I have seen enough movies to see that a very good actor ending up doing a mediocre work and that can be blamed on the director/script. This movie is one of them. Like I said, I wanted to like this movie so much and I have seen better movies with even lower budget that held my attention until the end - unfortunately this is not one of them.

The summary sounded promising, though vague, but the 4 rating should have been a warning. Decided to watch due to Malcolm McDowell being in the cast. Big mistake! From screenplay to directing and acting, it was mediocre at best. What could have been a good idea, it did not happen: no plot, no script. It is hard to pinpoint were it went wrong. Perhaps when the writer had the idea for the script, or when anyone decided to actually pay for it. I thought about the spoiler alert, but it is hard to write about a plot when there is none. About acting, when the best was the mediocre acting of Mr McDowell (I love him, but here he couldn't help much). Pretty much the same happening all over again, with slight changes in setting, no logic in anything. Sometimes the music can build some suspense, but even that was a fail. 1 star for Malcolm McDowell, 1 for the film.

They flipped realities so many times, (I lost count), that it occurred to me that the movie literally had no script at all

Just brief situation shots, lasting two minutes max, usually much less, and then exiting to another situation

The movie requires no script, literally no script, no story boarding. This is probably the only movie ever produced in which no script was ever written, just 60 second scenes, portraying the sane actors, just being different people and sometimes wearing different clothes. a novelty movie that falls flat.

There isn't a connecting thread, I watched most of it waiting for things to come together, and then realized it was going to 'rabbit pull' for the ending, so did not give it the satisfaction.
