Unreality

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2008)

Like so many others, I went to see this movie based on the good reviews and high score on IMDb. None of my friends have seen it, so I got no warning of what was in store.
Everything here is my opinion, I bought it on the flea marker :) The movie starts out well, I was impressed with the style, camera work and the down to earth choices the characters made. This lasted as long as there were no dialogs though. From that point on I started to feel uneasy, things just didn't connect. I started to notice how unreal the whole setup was and how illogical the story worked. In the end I felt that there was no conclusion or ending at all, because I couldn't figure out why anything really happened or ended and what the motivation of the characters was.
It wouldn't be so bad if I could find some underlying message, or at least the movie put me in some different mood when I started to watch it. But no, I could feel nothing for the characters, because there was no connection on any level. And if there was some underlying message, that was overshadowed by the massive violence and imagery.
Maybe I could find something enjoyable/thought provoking about this movie on a second viewing, but I just cannot bring myself to watch it again.
BTW, I would have given it 4/10 for the visual style, but I don't want to see this movie anywhere near the TOP 250, thus the 1/10.
