Please DON'T WATCH this film. Your time is valuable

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2005)

I have watched this film twice. Many years ago I watched it and I remember thinking how bad it was. Then it happened to be on again and I wanted to see if my hatred was still justified, so I watched it again. It is. The characters are entirely unbelievable and by the end I wanted them all to die. The plot is beyond ridiculous and pointless. The dialogue is utter tripe and I have seen better acting from drunk children. The cinematography is non existent, as is the score for that matter. What doctor would not realise the kid is autistic from the first minute? What maths geek takes ages to realize even numbers are not prime? How does the mentally challenged kid suddenly start communicating better at the end? The list goes on...
I write this review because I don't want other people to go through what I did. Twice. If I could afford it, I would buy every copy of this film and burn it because I know I would be doing the right thing for humanity. Please remember, your time is valuable and this movie takes that from you. Honestly, I would gladly choose wandering that cube with no eyesight or legs than have to watch that film again.
What hurts even more and even bring tears to my eyes is that many people have given this film a high score and it is now standing near 7.5! I usually have deep respect the IMDb audiences' opinions and I cannot fathom how there are people out there who think this is intellectually challenging or indeed, in any way shape or form, entertaining. Just because a film has rubbish special effects, lots of dialogue, 'people with diverse backgrounds' and a completely nonsensical plot (that only that autistic kid could decipher) doesn't mean the film becomes an intellectual challenge to work out. It's only challenging because you spend a couple minutes afterwards wondering if the film has actually ended, is it possible to sue to the television company responsible for airing this and how did you get yourself into this awful situation.
Please, I plead with you, Spend your time doing something else. Anything else will add value to your life. This does nothing but suck value away and leave you feeling strangely violated and sad as you increasingly realize that no amount of money can buy back what this film has raped you of.
