great idea poorly executed

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2003)

This movie has a very interesting idea behind it, but i think it could have been realized in a much better way. The first failure is the acting, i'm not sure if i can totally fault the actors though, because the script does not seem to be written very well. Though i must say that the acting of Maurice Dean Wint (Quentin) was particularly bad i thought. The mathmatical theme was cool, but in the end i think math gets boring, thats just me maybe. I thought the film was a bit predictable as well. I would have liked to see more explanation of the conspiracy (and make it an evil conspiracy) with better actors and a better script. also, some more creative sci-fi traps, come on, its sci-fi you can do whatever you want!! i think the film is a good example of a great idea poorly executed. i'd recommend watching it, but don't get your hopes up.
