Failed attempt reaching back to Blue Velvet & Twin Peaks

Rating: 4/10 (30 November 2001)

Despite the desperate attempts of the director, this film just came up short while it could have been great.
Short on suspension of disbelief. Short on dreamstate atmosphere. Short on ideas. Short on imagination. Who would have thought that from Lynch. And left too many unintentional laughs in to change the mood. All that was left was a slow, overlong letdown. Too much Dune, too little Blue Velvet, resulting in Twin Peaks Goes Hollywood. I was waiting for a giant in a red bowler hat to talk backwards while the fire is licking the drapes...
If you're a Lynch fan, and want to get the most of this, you need to be less cynical than I am. Perhaps being a 20-year old college film student would help.
