Great Movie, but not what you would expect.

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2014)

I loved it. Not only was the filming style and general idea kind of wacky in a refreshing way, the acting and topic was extremely interesting. There were some odd moments for sure, but for the most part, it was an extremely enjoyable movie.
My only issue, and this again, is almost a good thing as it falls within that unique quality that the movie has, is that it is very linear. There is not much beyond what the trailer offers in terms of plot development. Scarlett Johansen did extremely well, especially given that she was handed the role of (apart from the change after she ingested the drugs) a nearly completely static character. It makes sense with the idea of the movie, and what she should be undergoing, but it makes for a movie that is very limited in terms of protagonist development.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. It certainly won't be received as a mainstream movie, and for that reason, I would say don't see it in theatres. It is less a movie going experience than a neat idea of what movies can be, in the way that it is quite atypical. Absolutely rent it, or wait for it to pop up on Netflix, but I know that I am one of very few people I know who doesn't regret seeing it in theatres.
Check it out! Much better than what the reviews are saying, provided you take it not as a mainstream, typical movie.
