Parallel Minds

I am not even sure what I just watched.... I love sci-fi movies, well actually I love every genre of film but this one was worse then THE ROOM or HOOKER. I don't even know if there was a story line... Looked amazing, had beautiful cinematography and landscapes and sets but otherwise there was nothing to this movie but garbage. I felt like the actors had no director directing them at all and some of the actor are very talented actors but showed nothing in this film. All in all I think its a huge waste of time and money for production and sad to see another sci-fi with interesting takes be brought to light with such horrible films like this. Don't waste your time, you will never get it back.......

There are so many things wrong with this movie, I don't even know where to start. I'll just list some:

• Useless narration
• Terrible and annoying music
• Bad acting
• The lamest and oldest sci-fi plot premise (AI gone rogue)
• Idiotic use of tech jargon ("the algorithm is not working")
• Idiotic characters with irrational behaviour

Plus, the script is a mashup of all the tropes the scriptwriter could get a hand on: rogue AI, consciousness, memory storage and recollection, premonitions, time travel, etc,

But the worst is that terrible music. Makes it very hard to watch the movie.

I honestly don't know what I just watched. I feel like I channel surfed for an hour and a half, because that's how cohesive this movie is. Did they just take a handful of sci-fi, mystery, horror, and indigenous movies and chop them up together? Just when you think you get where they're going-look a butterfly-and now it's a whole new movie...until the next shiny thing appears to switch the plot again. This doesn't change by the end, you're left staring blankly at the screen dumbfounded. The only unifying thing is the visuals, which are stunning. Don't waste your time on this unless you want to end up more confused than you were after watching the trailer. You'll get a better story actually channel surfing for an hour and a half.

Even as I write I am still not sure what I thought of this film. Certainly an interesting concept. Some nice visuals, couple of familiar actors but was hard to follow what was going on at times. Maybe one for the hard core sci-fi fan but as a standalone film I found it a bit lacking.

I tried watching this movie, but had to give up due to annoying background music. It was like someone just sat at the synthesizer or a sampler and was testing some cheap sounds without any sense of direction or purpose. It was so annoying that I found my self craving for silence.

What can you say about a movie where the music makes you quit watching after just a few minutes?
