They actually have really bad release dates for some movies here in Australia... I was actually so pumped to watch this at the cinema until discovering that it will be just faster to wait for the blu-ray...
just saw it (thanks to a pre-release screening). it's not that great to be honest. way too many characters, way too many uninteresting stories, way too many ... well everything.
the make up is amazing at times but often, it flat out sucks. the best part of the movie is the credits when they reveal who was what. some are obvious. others not so much.
i was never invested in the film. and that's a huge problem. it sets out to do a lot, but falls short. props for trying something different, but i just didn't care about the movie.
this is one film where the whole is actually better than its parts.
The trailer looked extremely confusing and complicated. After watching it I had no clue what it was about. Might be good though, although I have an inkling it will be full of artistic flourishes and famous people.
I've heard only half of the SIX FULL PLOTLINES are better than half baked. Like nex tto nothing relevant happens in the 1950s scenes at all. Eye candy can only cover up inadequacies like that for so long. And the running time here is pretty mammoth.
Kudos for aspiring to be more than a blockbuster. But with this budget, some studio consideration might've helped out. Even though I'm pretty sure this one's independently financed.

LATEST NEWS CineVita Films is producing a short based on my new feature!
it's really hard to say who would like this movie. to be honest, story wise, it's unlike anything i've seen before. it's almost like those s hitty valentine day/new year's eve movies but more dramatic with a sci fi twist.
and yes, don't see/ignore the film based on my review. but it's no where close to the matrix. theme wise, it's actually pretty shallow. i felt like the trailer was more impactful than the film. we're all connected. okay, great.
but here's the thing. the actors who portray a hero in one story line arent always the hero in another. sometimes they're the villian. so their threads really don't make sense. it's like an eddie murphy film where the protag dresses up like several other characters.
the futuristic storyline is reminiscent of the matrix and its themes. but it isnt the matrix. it just made me want to go rewatch the matrix instead.
but overall, i just didnt feel invested in any of the characters. none are really that likable. and i've always felt like hanks was a bit overrated.
redbox this one folks. or go see it. but don't set your expectations too high. mine were reasonable and i was still let down.
Edit: now that i think about it, it kind of reminded me of The Hours but with double the story lines and sci fi mixed in.
yeah Prometheus is a good comparison. but 2/3's of the movie really isnt sci fi. only two out of the six actually involve anything sci fi related.
I think people are seeing the story line from the future and thinking that's the entire film. it's disappointing because it's not. and that particular story line, albet aesthetically pleasing, isn't too deep. we kind of know where it's headed.
I am really glad I know you all. This is huge for our agency because we have a picture along these lines that is an action dramedy so for me; YAY. you guyz are AWESOME! bb
