Meaningless meanderings...

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2013)

If there was an Oscar for the most original abstract movie concept of the year then this would win it - hands down. But for the glowing scores from the majority of reviewers on this website, it should more appropriately be eligible for a raspberry award at the other film awards.
Thinking back about the movie the next day I counted 4 story strands but there was 6 in total. I fail to see the connecting strands through these 6 mini-movies but perhaps I'm not looking deep enough for the inter-connectivity?? The only 1 of the 6 mini-movies that caught my attention and imagination was the Korean futuristic vision of "corpocrats" and "fabricants". With further imagination, the right director could make a full length movie with this concept I would have thought? Indeed, maybe the reason for this movie is merely an exercise in fielding 6 movie 'trailers' and seeing which one the viewing public likes the most? The sixth and final 'vision' of the far future I thought was set on another planet as they looked up at the sky and wondered exactly where Earth was in the night sky?? The clipped pigeon English used by the 'natives' and the 'visitors' didn't help the storyline in any way.
I hadn't even connected this movie with the real-life traffic inconvenience that it caused to Glasgow's streets while a chase sequence was enacted in our city-centre.
This movie gets 2 stars and that's only because the Korean component of this movie was so well done. Other than that, it's simply a arty-farty hodgepodge of a movie.
