Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Robert Downey Jr., and Woody Harrelson in A Scanner Darkly (2006)

Review by cine-11

A Scanner Darkly

2/10

This movie was AWFUL!!

I'm a big fan of Philip Dick; he was a very imaginative scifi writer, whose stories and novellas translated into very entertaining movies: Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, Paycheck, etc. So I was excited when I saw the trailer for yet another PKD story made into a movie. And then the super rating at IMDb clinched it. I wondered, though, why it did so poorly in the theaters, when the others had done so well. And then I saw this movie with 3 other people, and, I'm not exaggerating here, all three variously nodded off at some point during this boring, pointless, vapid excuse for a story. I kept waiting for something- anything - to develop that I could feel a spark of interest in. Nope, 90 mins of cinematic diarrhea. The rotoscoping was impressive, but I don't see how it served a purpose (as it might have if Sin City were done that way). Philip Dick fans (and everyone else), skip this one.
