A waste of time

Rating: 2/10 (8 October 2003)

"Lost in Translation" is definitely not the worst movie I have ever seen. It shows some good acting and beatiful shots of Tokyo. There are also some scenes that were interesting. Overall, however, it is excruciatingly boring and devoid of any interesting plot turns. After you see the first fifteen minutes, just think what should have happened if it was real life and this is exactly what will happen: nothing much. There are no surprises whatsoever. Many conversations in the movie are in Japanese with no translation or subtitles. Maybe those who speak Japanese could enjoy it. Otherwise, unless you are a fan of such movies, you will be better off saving time and money for something else.
