An interesting message lost in too much resources

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2016)

It is a movie with an intricate structure. This may result confusing and tiring in the beginning. But as the film goes on, it is easier to follow it. I think it was like an assay for what the directors are doing in Sense 8.
They are talking about revolutions, as they did in The Matrix. But more in a sense of the objectives and how much you can get if you decide to go into a revolution. Also, they talk about the world being a big cycle, with the good and the bad being eternal. And how our decisions can not be ultimate, but they only form a part in a long chain of causes and consequences.
The philosophy they are based on is very interesting. But the quantity of resources they use is exaggerated. And it makes obvious and repetitive the message they want to tell. They get to share their message, but not in an organic way, not a satisfying one.
The cast is interesting. Tom Hanks is surprising, getting a lot of reactions for him for a single movie (still, not my favorite).
The make up is very obvious. May be this was intentional, to distinguish which actor made which character. The production design is impressive, as it is expected from the Wachowski. Guessing which director it did what scene can be fun.
So, intentions were great, results were not that good. But still, it is a good film.
