This is not a plot you've seen before

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 1999)

One of the most fascinating aspects of the IMDB are the users' comments. With some thought, we could all name some titles that, with the exception of the schizophrenic and evangelical religious, we could agree to categorize as "good", "bad", "boring" or "great". The fascination comes in the reading of reviews that describe completely competent films, "such as "Being John Malkovich" and the mix of praise or condemnation they offer. See the "numan-2" review for example. I agree with the bulk of the reviews I've read about this film. This movie has a fresh plot, one you've never seen before. Think about that for a moment. Even my cats turn up their noses to their favorite food at some point. If I could give them a can of flaked Jonze w/Malkovich bits, their world would be turned on it's side. That's what this movie does, it twists everything you know about the world and how you thought things would turn out. That's from what great science fiction stories are made. As usual, don't let anyone try to "tell" you what this movie is about. Go in ignorant. Let the director do the job for which he was hired. Stop thinking you know how the world works, in this movie, it's very different.
