A sorry attempt at Sci-Fi, that comes out as incoherent garbage

Rating: 2/10 (26 July 2007)

I bought this movie after I had viewed, and loved, the director's other film, Requiem for a dream. Seeing that the movie(PI) got amazing reviews on here, I decided to go out and buy it. I read the back of the case and the movie seemed to be something I would be interested in. 85 minutes later, I want my money back.
All I found in this jumbled, incoherent mess of a movie was a strong headache and wanting to go to sleep. The annoying techno, electronica music in the background, mixed with the camera angles and visual "effects" is enough to make you want to throw up.
To be honest, I find the plot to be complete garbage. It just so happens that the number that cracks the stock market, is also the number that is sent from god. Come on. Really? I'm not sure what the writer was thinking. To me, the movie seems fairly pointless. I liked the concept, until I saw the movie. The concept could have been made into so many things, but sadly, was made into this headache of a movie.
The fact that religion was brought into this is completely bogus. What do the stock market and religion have in common? The whole Jewish/Kabbalah thing was garbage. I don't know what else to say about it.
If you want a good movie, go buy Requiem for a Dream. Hell, buy any movie but this one. If you want a headache, then buy it. The horrible shaky camera angles, and annoying electronica/techno background music is enough to make anyone sick.
Don't waste your time on this. And for all the people saying he had no funds to make this movie. If you don't have the funds, don't make the movie.
