Complete waste time and money

Rating: 1/10 (30 September 2017)

My husband and I checked some critic review before going to see this movie. The movie critics seemed to give it a good run. Unfortunately, to our dismay, this movie is completely not what the movie review was about and it's the worst movie I have ever seen.
What makes it such a disappointment is not its utter violence and feverish cinematography, but its completely nonsensical plot. Sure the director has a very clear cinematic and directorial ambition to accomplish and there are meanings in all the plots, sub plots, etc.and he explains it's an allegory, but please do not forget, no matter how ambitious your artistic aspiration is, your story has to MAKE SENSE! And this is the biggest problem of this movie. The whole plot is an accumulation of crazy mumble jumble and pushes the audience into a lost land. The director forgets the audience goes into a theater to entertain. They do not spend their money to kill their brain cells to understand your over the top cinematic nightmare.
This is not because "this movie is saved only for those sophisticated audience" - we have been watching lots of artistic indie movies and this one is simply not that. The glorious, hefty directorial self indulgence simply falls under its own weight.
If you haven't seen this movie, you can save your ten bucks to watch something else. I was disappointed to waste more than two precious hours of my time on this flop. And DO NOT always trust a movie critics opinion. This time CinemaScore, the well known research org which surveys film audiences to rate their viewing experiences with letter grades, gave this movie a starling F. There is such a disconnect between us movie goers and the folks who make a living out of critiquing movies.
