Wasnt too good, don't be fooled

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 1999)

I thought this movie stunk.
Its definitely a cult classic, meaning anyone in their right mind would think this was a bad movie. I was fooled by the numerous positive reviews and since I'm not too hard to please I figured I'd probably like it. Wrong.

Some say its for people into dark movies. I didnt take that literally but I should have. This is for people on drugs. If you like the camera bouncing around and zooming from left to right to provide some kind of "effect" then this is for you. He intentionally flys the camera all over the place and makes it look like your on dope or something. I think its safe to say anyone who doesent enjoy drugs wont enjoy the frustration of the schizofrenic camera work in this movie.
If you enjoy math you'll enjoy this movie? NOT. There is not enough math for you to even disagree with whats going on. I mean you dont get the chance to say "no way" because nothing is clear enough in this movie for you to formulate any coherent thoughts.
Inside the head of a mathematical genious? I didnt get that impressions. More like an ex math professior who got dumped by his girl and is now on drugs and cant think straight and gets headaches because of it.
Numerous elements of a real movie are within this movie. However, nothing is gelled and nothing leads into anything else. its like a good book after your dog got ahold of it and ripped out several of the "key" pages only, like the ending.
Well enough from me. I dont think anyone will really like this movie too much. I have to say that the actors did seem good and I was actually into the movie. So no cheezy acting, but plenty of cheezy situations.

I give it a thumbs down.
