A movie without rhythm, one monotonous tone and a lot of copy paste

Rating: Null/10 (12 November 2011)

I thought this was going to be a good movie but it was not.
The idea is great (120 year old last mortal looks back at his life and his choices), the scenes are beautiful in isolation, but the makers oversaw something vital.
Effects like slow motion, flashbacks and scene hopping can be nice, when used sparingly, as needed. NOT when you do it throughout the whole film. A film, like anything else, needs rhythm: buildup, release, etc; this one was more like one monotonous tone (full of beautiful scenes that have no relation to one another). I suppose the director was totally focused on the scenes on itself, thinking WOW this looks great, but he forgot that a movie is not just about pasting nice scenes after one another.
In Mr Nobody we jump from scene A to C to B to Z and every scene is full of effects and even more jumps in time. Add to that the somewhat strange settings and it leaves the viewer estranged, wondering about the storyline and totally unempathetic for whatever happens to the characters.
Probably very postmodern but there is too much of everything.
