Pointless, boring and a very UGLY movie

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2014)

Dear reader of this review, I feel sorry for you. Why? Because reading this means that you've probably seen this crap of the movie, and you're wondering what happened, how this tedious, ugly, pointless crap could possibly be so highly rated? As one other reviewer pointed out, to call this movie overrated is just not enough. This movie is supposed to be philosophical. What is the meaning of life, what is the point of death, why must I die? Well, there are hundreds of movies and books out there dealing with this subject, and every single one of them does a 1000 times better job at it than this movie. BTW, try reading the Bible and the Gospels for answers about life and death. Since other reviewers have pointed out the terribly slow pace of the movie (the only other movie that was this slow was first Star Trek movie "the slow motion picture" - don't watch that one, either), I will write about something else - the ugliness. First of all, the creators of this "masterpiece" have used the irritating clichÃ© of setting the entire film at night. It's always dark, in every single scene. Every single room is ugly. The makeup is ugly. The whole damn thing looks like a hell hole full of broken drug addicts, and the music contributes to the feeling. I felt mild nausea throughout the whole thing. There are a few visually interesting scenes of Los Angeles from above (at night, of course), but the most prominent thing in those scenes are gigantic videos (placed as advertisements on buildings) of Asian women swallowing pills. Maybe the best symbol, of how wrong the makers of this movie were about the future, were prominent advertisements for Atari and Pan Am. While they drive flying cars in 2019, they watch TV on old sets which look like from 1970s. It's just a terrible movie, overall.
