Rating: 4/10 (16 January 2002)

[I saw this on DVD, YMMV]
I had no idea what this movie was about. I thought it might be about the search for the last digit of pi, or some other similar thing.
No. Instead there is some generic bad-guy corporation want's his number analysis for stock research, some generic numerological cult wants his number analysis for religious research, and a math genious with a homemade computer (that looks straight from the set of Brazil) that just rolls around on the floor in his bathroom in obvious pain.
This movie has as little to do with math as Armageddon has to do with the science of asteroids. It is just an excuse to blow a bunch of black and white film on cream mixing into coffee and smoke floating in the air.
