It was okay...

Rating: 5/10 (10 November 2005)

It had interesting concepts to it, though throughout i really had a hard time believing any of it. The film didn't explain anything! It just had an "Ah ha, the Fibonacci sequence!" and then an equation for EVERYTHING was made. Next time they make a movie about math, let's make it logical OK? The themes and symbols were way too apparent for my liking especially with the blatant allusions to Icarus' hubris (the phrase "when i was 6, my mother told me not to look into the sun, and i did" repeated every half hour and Saul even saying "I named my fish Icarus, after you"); I felt they were sometimes just throwing it in my face, saying "this is what you're supposed to see!" The music was all right though sometimes it seriously distracted from the film..
the ending was dumb..."ignorance is bliss" seemed to be key...let's not take a bite of the apple this time around..
