Nonsense on stilts

Rating: 4/10 (17 January 2015)

Wow - a movie that's crazier than Nicholas Cage. Someone should make a movie about it.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but he's too restrained, especially in the relationship with his son - cold and bossy. There should have been an early scene where they have fun with numbers and science, and that could have been mirrored in the parting scene at the end.
I guess it's Noah's Ark dressed up in bogus sci-fi. A serious film would have taken on the issue of determinism full frontal, but this is just a fairy tale.
I reckon it's 20 mins too long, and snort-laugh overblown. But watchable.
Best thing about it? The Beethoven at beginning and end.
