Flashy, dark and boring.

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2015)

As the description goes.. "A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun and run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans." That's it and it never evolves beyond that. It's all a mystery for 90 minutes or more, even more so why I was watching it. The mystery ends with an explanation, that took too long to get to the point and then it all ends with a long massive climax of noise and visual flashes just to ensure that the growing feeling of discontent turns into a real headache.
No passion, no emotion, no suspense and no thrill. Not even humorous in any way, dark or otherwise. No plot or leads to follow. A soulless movie full of nobodies and boring characters, that never evolve to anything more than just a flashy image of neo-noir composition. All style (of a dark, boring and forgettable kind) and no substance. Unbelievable, but it happened and that's it. If only Luc Besson had been the director, this could have been an awesome movie with more than just style, but he wasn't and it isn't.
I had no idea, what this movie was about and at first I was baffled and curious for quite a long time and then I was just getting bored and tired and looking at the clock. I really had a feeling, that everything I saw I've seen done a hell of a lot better elsewhere and thus it was really pointless to watch it again and without the context that it made it great in the first place.
It's more of a Psi-fi, than a Sci-fi and both is quite a stretch of words, because there is very little of both and even less consistency.
Had a short conversation with my wife after watching it. There wasn't really anything to talk about other than the total disbelief with the rating. This is the one.. out of ten.
Been there, done that, but who cares? Not me, not you and definitely not this movie.
