Good, but not that good.

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 2005)

You know what? The movie looks like a puzzle to me at first, intriguing actually. But after I saw through its plot making, I just began not to like it so much as before. It is indeed a novelty in film-making, but not so great, definitely shouldn't be ranked in the top 250.
A movie should not be a IQ test. On the contrary, it is actually a complex of IQ and EQ, and EQ should be a little bit, or even much, more than IQ. And, by the way, plus a little surprise, of course. That is the meaning a movie is supposed to have, enjoyable and then inspiring. The movie, however, looks like a total IQ test for me, just like you run windows XP on a tiny computer with only 64k basic memory, you know. Then what can you do? Just to watch the poor machine take in and out data like brain twitching, continuously opening new swap files on its tiny malfunctioning undersized RAM, on and off, again and again. When you finally understand this trick, it turns out a little repellent, even disgusting. And just when you understand this, it comes to you all of sudden that this trick is really nothing, not artistic but really childish, perhaps most suitable for an IQ-hungry self-righteous high school mind. Because except the simple IQ test, you can not find the critical elements a movie is supposed to acquire, well, you can name it, after all.
Of course, it is not a bad movie at all, but not that good anyway.
