About this movie

In a fractured vision of our not so distant future, a computer hacker (Academy Award Winner Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained) is given a seemingly impossible mission by his employer, a shadowy, all-powerful corporation. As he obsessively pursues his task, distracted and slowed down at every turn, he may unlock the very secret of human existence. Featuring an all-star cast and directed by science fiction visionary Terry Gilliam (12 Monkeys, Brazil).

If I was able to give it less then 1 star, I'd give this Zero Stars. What a complete waste of time & money this awful dreck of a (it hurts to even call it a movie) mindless waste of what a sick mind can produce. This thing, should be collected of all it's film stock and burned. It will take you less then 5 minutes to realize what a terrible mistake you made in your decision to watch this and go looking for a way to get your money back. Run away from this as fast as humanly possible.

Ye know, this film is not for everyone surely. Especially if you're looking for the typical deep thought drama film one might expect from this cast. However, what I took away from this film is that you're really not supposed to like what happens (LOL) ... YePp ... quite funny really. I laughed quite a bit once I caught on! I was simply hoping for a better connection to the characters and more of a "feel good" ending but I suppose these requests would have detracted from the point of this movie

It just didn't work for me. This vision of the future was a little too silly for me (everyone driving smart cars, on roller blades and listening to iPods - oh, and dressed like people in the future of Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey). Not sure if it was budget issues, but seemed like it had a lot of one takes. Good cast, but seemed like a labor of love. Thought the philosophical theme was sophomoric. Was pretty boring really.
