Mind's Eye

It's rare to see a director get so far over his head, yet so far up his own butt at the same time. While trying, and utterly failing, to map out a complex story, the film cannot connect the dots between simple human interaction. Bad writing, bad plot, atrocious acting, and Dean Cain and Malcolm McDowell sleepwalking their way through this clunker en route to the SAG minimum paycheck they must have earned. Hopefully next time (should there be a next time), I hope the producer saves up his paper-route money and spends it on a better script and director, instead of C list actors. One might assume (as I did) that this would be some discount bin B- Movie disaster flick, but sadly it can't even live up to that. They re- titled it, gave it an action packed cover art, and tricked us into watching one of the dullest bits of cinema I've ever encountered. If I found out that writer was twelve and the director autistic, I wouldn't be the least surprised.

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.

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.

I bought this movie about a week ago from the Walmart and I should have gone with my gut. There was something telling me not to get it but it had Malcolm McDowell so it couldn't be that bad, right? Wrong. He couldn't even save this movie. I still have no idea what's going on and it took me four days to finish it. I fell asleep before the ending and every time I put it back on I forgot where I left off because it was so hard to retain anything. I was bored to tears. I think I'd rather watch paint dry. No, I'd rather play Go Fish with a bunch silent Monks while waiting for paint to dry than to watch this movie again. Two stars for the cover art.

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.
