It's a hard film not to think about...

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 1999)

It took me the whole movie, but I ended up really liking the message(s) of this film. I was a little queasy with where the writer was going with his third premise: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns will emerge. I know Einstein believed the same principle and took it to the same level by saying that if you could map out the points for every object in the universe at a given time, you could not only see where those objects came from, but also where they were going and literally predict the future. Of course quantum mechanics later proved this to be physically impossible, so I was hoping that Aeronofsky wasn't going to try and profess that he had some new 'key to the universe' answer. The interpretive ending was exactly what this film needed and it sure makes you think. Too much!!
