Great photography, light, special effects, and really implausible plot. Dialogue is cretin or nonexistent. There is nothing strictly normal in this story. Are we so shallow at this point that we can only be entertained by some contrived pseudo-supernatural nonsense? Is the name of the show just a shallow irony? There is nothing sensate in this show - not sense8 at all. If we can't spell it with a figure or some 'cool' acronym then it's worth no sense at all? Can we have some dialogue please? Some story 'told' at least with some words in verbal mode? I am so tired of this supernatural super-bore... Let's have the characters exchange few sentences every once in a while. I don't know some dialogue that justifies the expense for makeup artists, computer light wizards, and other semi-literate $-grabbing techies.

The merit of this movie is the idea - quite brilliant. Acting is fine, mostly because the actors are all reasonably good-looking. My low score is perhaps due to my low tolerance for explosions, crashes, and unnecessary noise. In this particular movie, the same crash happens over and over again in all the sauces. There was a time when special effects and conflagrations impressed audiences very easily. In the 21st century, however, we have the technology to produce our own explosions on our own laptops, that is, if we really care to live with images of things blowing up on a regular basis. The repetition of the explosion in this movie is essential to the story, but the dialog is completely unnecessary at times. The main protagonist's anxiety about his mission is crucial to our appreciation of the film, but the whole business could have been compressed in about 25 minutes. I cannot spare you the trite feeling: who is going to give me these couple hours back?
